DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ COGNITION IN CONDITIONS OF INTERACTION OF SUBJECTS OF THE ERGATIC EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT OF ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The paper examines issues related to cognition as an integral internal feature of a personality, due to which its further development and transformation into professional competence takes place. The work proves that the construction of the learning process based on a situational and functional approach contributes to the performance of the essential actions of the participants of autonomous functional systems – the teacher’s system and the student’s system. The research shows that the interaction of participants of the ergatic educational environment provides not only acceptance and understanding of the task set by the teacher, but also the development of students’ cognition. The article presents the process of formation of new knowledge – cognition, which occurs gradually and is determined by the goal, namely, increasing the current level of mastering educational and/or quasi-professional activities and information resources provided by simulators with actual software and proposed tasks set by the teacher.
