The permanent innovational process as the factor of the development of education .

Innovative technologies in education

The current stage of social development is shown by the

unprecedented increase in scientific sphere, high level of the

progress in computer technologies, the evolution of innovational

processes in all aspects of social production. The rate of making

inventions and absorption of innovations in all facets of the

modern society, the level of their implementation into our life

and consciousness turned innovations into a natural process,

they have become an important element of social progress that

meets requirements in the educational field.

The word “innovation” (from Latin “innove”) appeared

in the middle of the 17 century. It means implementing a new

thing into any sphere and generating a chain of changes in it.

This term has recently changed its first meaning. It was

interpreted as a scientific invention reflected in a certain

technology or a product. Therefore, the main benefit of

introduction of innovations was an actual profit. In the social

sphere, in the sphere of education this figure of merit is not the

main compared with the economics and material production.

The innovation in the educational field can be considered as:

1)Stable changing that inputs some new elements (inventions) into education, that makes some characteristics of separate parts and the whole system better

2) Assimilation process of some new technologies (new

methods, programs)

3) The search for the perfect methods and programs, their

introduction into the educational process and its upheaval.

Nowadays the innovation in the educational field is on the

beginning stage and empirical research.

Modern school becomes an innovational institute in a

part of informational technology, where students can get not

only some important knowledge, but the spirit of the modern

informational society and where they learn to use it in a proper

way. Without using informative-communicatory technology an

educational institution should not claim on the innovational

status in education. An educational institution can be considered

as innovational only in case the educational process includes

didactic, methodical and technical innovations. Due to this, it

achieves some real graduation of rate and capacity of griped

knowledge, it also raises the quality of learning that allows

students to find their own special abilities.

The innovational route of education changes the main goal

of the school. Disclosing abilities of every student, raising an

orderly and patriotic man, a personality that is ready for life in

a highly technological, competitive world comes into the first

place. For reaching these goals, the educational process reorients

to individual educational tracks. This would allow teachers not

only to select the most talented children, but to create some

special circumstances for a huge number of outpourings of

children’s talents.

It is a transition from the education as a system of introducing

knowledge to the education as a work with some issues with the

purpose of outputting some certain decisions; from learning

some main subjects to multidiscipline researching of some

hard life situations; from collaboration of a teacher and a pupil

to dynamic participation of students in it.

Interactive teaching becomes the main element of the

pedagogical innovation that is based on conversational forms

of cooperation made by participants of the educational process,

for example, learning mixed with talking that helps students

to form and develop some communicational skills. This exact

cooperation is a condition for developing students’ art abilities.

The interactive learning could not ever be imagined without

modern informative-communicatory technologies. The most

impressive invention for students is an interactive whiteboard

that is slowly replacing a school blackboard. Its interactive

possibilities make the process of getting knowledge even better

memorized. A lesson with using interactive technologies made

on the base of optimal pedagogical cooperation has a list of

advantages: it is held at a good pace; stages of the lesson has

a logical link; different types of educational activity are mixed

up; it makes the attitude of students more serious; different

forms and types of activities make the whole class engrossed;

that allows each student to improve their knowledge; pupils

get materials of the lesson according to their individual

psychological markers; they get some new communication

skills; the atmosphere of cooperation and co-creation at the

lessons is addictive.

One of the methods of interactive learning is a group form

of work that increases cognitive motivation of students and

decreases a level of fear to be incompetent in solving some

problems. By working in a group educability, effectiveness of

acquisition and actualization of knowledge are increasing.

Nowadays school has all possibilities for developing “project

thinking” by a special type of pupils’ activity, so-called “project

work”. Project work usually has a target that is personally

meaningful for each student and it is stated as an issue. By

solving this issue, the author of this project decides his strategy,

arranges his time, uses a lot of sources, including informational.

The involvement of students into project activity is happening

gradually. The experience of project activity at school shows

that the interest in this significantly independent work appears

in primary school. Students of secondary school have enough

knowledge, experience in doing research work, skills of using

a computer for searching information and arranging their

written work. They also have necessary will power to overcome

difficulties and not to lose interest in a continuous duty. They

are able to keep the main and most important goal in their mind

for the whole time of work.

Using of interactive technologies helps to develop a child’s

personality, it creates a special pedagogical sphere, intensifies

the educational process, that increases the effectiveness of work

and the quality of education. The main sense of innovations is

increasing the quality of education.

The innovational process is a continuous process that does

not have the exact ending. It is not about an exponentiallyincreasing sum of knowledge that was collected by the whole

humanity. The peculiarity of the innovational process is its

cyclical pattern that can be expressed in the structure of stages

that the innovation passes: creation, hasty growth in contestation

with opponents, readiness, absorption, expansion, saturation,

routinization, crisis, the bottom [3, p. 79]

Only when innovations are understood as a continuous

cyclic process, the quality of education considerably increases.

This means that education itself is not as valuable as the ability

to create new knowledge based on earlier experience and the

ability to use it properly according to the theoretical base that

was given at school
