INFORMATION GLUT AND THE WAYS TO OVERCOME IT IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS (PSYCHOLOGICAL, PEDAGOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS).

Abstract

The problem of information glut is now regarded as acute and urgent. However, traditional approaches and attempts to solve it are not effective because of the mechanistic understanding of the need to accept the increasing flow of information. The author’s approach is based on the rethinking the concept of "information explosion", which today is in the world. In fact "explosion" is not for information but for data that produces humanity.

With this in mind the ways of the effective response to the glut of data flow are proposed. So, we need the reliable algorithm to differ the concepts of "data" and "information" to prevent their misuse. Other way, the threat of  formal approaches to the modern informational trends is actual. This approach should be based on the  key (core) competencies use instead of the cumulative knowledge collection as it has been partially applied till now. Unfortunately there are no universal standards to classify competencies and their groups: every author tries to propose his own system corresponding to the problem being investigated. So, we face the system of 8–12 or more key (core) competencies and a lot of lowest level competencies. The systems of competencies have principal differences.

This paper demonstrates the author’s approach based on the Wittgenstein's idea of elimination of the fuse definitions of concepts and clear, understandable and comprehensible system of competencies use. For example, the top separation provides creativity, subject competency and organization.  It can be argued that the success of cultural activity depends on a combination of factors, which are determined by the wide range of values.

Key words: information glut, internalization of data, technology of student’s studying work,  competencies set.
