A systematic approach as a methodology for studying and building a holistic educational process: socio–philosophical analysis

Abstract

The article considers the system approach as a set of methods of cognition, research and construction of reality, as a way of describing and explaining the nature of analyzed or artificially created objects or their models. It is noted that the theoretical and methodological basis of the systematic approach is the dialectical–materialistic principle of consistency. The main objectives of the research from the standpoint of the system approach are the development of tools for the analysis and synthesis of constructed objects as systems, the construction of generalized models of education with the allocation of specific properties, the study of various system concepts and developments. To understand the purposeful behavior of education from the standpoint o a systematic approach, the processes and forms of information transfer from one subsystem to another, ways of influencing the system and subsystems on each other, coordination of the lower levels of the system with the higher (managers), the influence of all subsystems are identified. It is noted that an important feature of the system approach is that not only the object, but also the process of managing it acts as a complex system, its task is to combine various models (components) of the system–object into a single whole.
