Lack of clarity of the educational goal as a reason for imitation of the educational process

Abstract

The object of the study is an educational goal that is relevant to the educational process of schoolchildren. The subject of the study is the understanding of the purpose of learning by the main participants of the educational process. The author examines in detail the issue of awareness of the educational goal by children, their parents and teachers. Identifies the essential properties of the child's educational goal and correlates the idea of it with the vision of the educational goal of the main participants in the educational process. Special attention is paid to the structure and orientation of the formed educational goals. The differences in the understanding of the educational goal of a modern student, teacher and parents are highlighted, which may be one of the reasons for the decrease in the effectiveness of the educational process. A special contribution of the author to the research of the topic is the actualization of the issue of the presence, formation and understanding of the educational goal by schoolchildren. The novelty of the research lies in the disclosure of ideas about the purpose of education by modern children, their parents and teachers. Significant ideas about the educational goal of the child and the main participants of the educational process are highlighted. The article presents the results of an empirical study indicating a partial lack of clear educational goals for children, parents and teachers. With the help of specially designed questionnaires, basic data were obtained, which were interpreted taking into account the expert opinion of teachers. The paper argues for the need for an educational goal for all participants in the educational process and pays attention to the need for further study of the process of forming an educational goal for children, teachers and parents.
