Karpov A.O. Cognitive Generative Principles of Research Education in Terms of the Formation of the Knowledge-Based Society

Abstract: In his research article Karpov provides the results of studying the new model of science education that ensures the formation of the knowledge-based society. The main cognitive tool of this education model is the scientific research and the main pedagogical objective is raising young people capable of creating new knowledge. The research education becomes the mission of not only a special research university but also a special 'scientific school'. The need for the continuous cognitive development of a researcher as a person requires development of general epistemological and didactical positions at universities and schools. The purpose of the present article is to analyze the concept of the transformative education programme, based on the results of such analysis formulate and prove cognitive generative principles of the research education, define types of transformative frameworks of education and determine the relation between education and truth. Researcher's attitude to truth is not only ethical but also professional basis for research knowledge. The methodological basis of the research involves interdisciplinary synthesis of contextual activity pedagogy, cognitive psychology, epistemology and education ontology. Karpov shows the role of the research education in the socio-cultural and economic development of the knowledge-based society as well as the importance of research competencies on the modern labour market. The author also offers a definition of generative didactics as the theory of research education. In addition, Karpov views the idea of knowledge transformation in terms of research education epistemology. He also describes the concept of the transformative academic programme that is capable of rebuilding its own structure and the schemes of cognitive activity taking into account generative assessment of a student. According to the researcher, the basic cognitive generative principles include cognitive flexibility, cognitive generativity and socio-cultural interactions. Karpov also analyzes transformative education frameworks associated with these principles including didactical, epistemological and ontological (environmental) concepts. The author underlines that in order to arrange for the research education it is very important to look at research as the way to find the truth.
