Concept and content of educational paradigm

Volodymyr Mokliak Stanislav Tarelko

It is determined that the educational paradigm is a fundamental aspect of educational practice that shapes the way learning is conceived, structured and assessed. Research has shown that different paradigms have a significant impact on student learning outcomes, emphasising the importance of adopting a more learner-centred and constructivist approach to education. It is found that enshrining educational paradigms in laws is important to ensure that education meets the desired goals and outcomes. By incorporating the desired paradigm into the curriculum, teacher training and development, assessment, and resource provision, legislators can create more effective and meaningful educational experiences for students. The article argues that curriculum development is one way to incorporate educational paradigms into laws. The curriculum is the foundation of education, and it determines what students learn and how they learn it. By incorporating a particular educational paradigm into the curriculum, legislators can ensure that teachers provide education that is consistent with the desired paradigm.   The current educational paradigm in the European Union is considered, which emphasises the importance of providing high quality, relevant and inclusive education and training that prepares learners for active participation in society and the workforce. The EU's focus on key competences and lifelong learning reflects a broader shift in educational paradigms towards more learner-centred, flexible and personalised approaches to learning that emphasise the development of 21st century skills. The relationship between educational paradigms and educational programmes is analysed. It is established that they are closely related concepts that together form the way of conceiving, structuring and evaluating learning. An educational paradigm defines the goals and outcomes, content, structure, and methods and strategies used in an educational programme. By understanding the relationship between these two concepts, educators can design more effective and meaningful educational programmes that are consistent with their educational paradigm
