SOCIAL-PSYCHOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS OF THE EFFECTIVE USE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

In the context of technological advancement, educational systems face new challenges arising from both unprecedented growth of information and increasing diversity of learners’ needs and expectations. The goal of the article is to analyze the effective possibilities for investing and implementing educational technologies in the context of learners’ individual, cognitive, and social-psychological characteristics giving special attention to synergistic and algorithmic approaches, as well as emphasizing moral and value-based aspects in the educational process.

Research methodology: 1) theoretical analyses related to the issue; 2) consideration of the ideas of synergetics and Karpman’s Drama Triangle model within the educational process; 3) observation conducted through the analysis of Nar-Dos’s work “The Murdered Dove”, aimed at identifying learners’ moral positions and perceived roles.

The research revealed the following results: 1) despite their practical applications, technologies do not ensure a fully comprehensive educational and developmental process; 2) learners’ perception types (visual, auditory, cognitive) require individualized approaches, which are not always taken into account in the educational process; 3) the synergistic approach is effective only when groups have relatively similar abilities; 4) the algorithmic structure of technologies must be understandable to the learners so that they can think in logical steps rather than relying on memorization.
