Modeling situations in the organization of educational environments // Pedagogical Review. 2026. Issue 1 (65). P. 23-34

The article is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of modeling situations in the organization of educational environments. The situation is considered as a means of creating pedagogically appropriate conditions for the formation, development and practical application of knowledge, skills, functional and personal qualities by students; It is a necessary prerequisite in the organization of education for students to gain personal experience in solving subject problems in self-assessment of ambiguous situational contexts, independent search for solutions in the changing reality of life and activity, free creative interaction with the environment in proactive and responsible activities. A typology of situations is proposed, developed on the basis of the methodology of personality-oriented (V.V. Serikov) and situational-environmental (N.V. Khodyakova) approaches: a strictly regulated situation; a situation of objective-activity certainty; a situation of value-semantic certainty; a situation of uncertainty. Each of the presented types of situations has its own appropriate incentives for subjective activity, procedural opportunities for mastering the environment and situation, and meaningful sources for organizing activities and gaining new experience. The chosen research perspective allows us to determine the innovative role of modeling real situations in the organization of education and shift the focus in the teacher's activities from the translation of the knowledge component to the management of environmental factors, from stimulating cognitive activity to supporting subjective activity in solving situational problems. The role of the student is also being transformed and involves not only finding a solution to a situational problem, but also showing full independence in this process.
