The problem of informal education is currently relevant, as the concept was officially introduced by the Law of Ukraine «On Education» of 05.09.2017 № 2145-VIII and in this regard, for some time informal education and informal learning were incorrectly interpreted and, accordingly, were not always applied in time and accurately. Such scientists as I. Zhukevych, V. Isaenko, L. Nikolenko, N. Pavlyk, R. Presner, O. Samoilenko, L. Sigaeva, S. Yablokova and others devoted their works to the issue of informal education. The term «informal education» comes from English and means such form of education that is purposeful and carefully planned, but not institutionalized. Informal education is the most innovative and everyday simultaneously. It covers home, leisure and self-education. Priority trends of informal education are self-development and self-realization of participants in this process, as well as unconscious acquisition of knowledge. The principles of informal education have been defined. Among them: the principle of voluntariness, personal orientation, systematization, social orientation, and initiative and amateurs activities. The main trends we have defined are disorganization, high motivation of students, spontaneity, lack of a clear plan, the pressure of learning and a certain time; the ability of everyone to be a teacher. Informal education is put into practice due to its own activity in cultural and educational environment. And a person transfers social educational potential into effectual factors of his development. Such education can implement through goal-seeking communication, reading, aching TV programs, attending cultural places of interest, travelling, etc. This type of education can be analyzed as one of its minisystem that is close to self education and is aimed at creating necessary resources for a candidate. The importance of this issue is insufficient development and inaccurate understanding of informal education. Key words: informal education, informal learning, self-development, innovative education.

В статье исследуется проблема формирования понятийного аппарата нового раздела педагогики — эргономики образования. Актуальность обусловливается необходимостью обеспечить комфортность и безопасность процесса обучения, что достижимо посредством формирования эргономической образовательной среды. Целью является теоретическое обоснование процесса формирования эргономической образовательной среды, обеспечивающей развитие личности и сохранение здоровья при наличии образовательного потенциала. Рассматриваются разработки отечественными и зарубежными авторами терминологической структуры эргономической образовательной среды. В работе в качестве методологического выступает эргономический подход, а также применяется анализ и обобщение научных исследований по проблеме формирования эргономической образовательной среды в системе образования. Исследуя формирование эргономической образовательной среды, мы выявляем, что данный феномен в педагогике не изучен. Лишь фрагментарно представлены положения педагогической эргономики как раздела педагогики. Нами сформулировано несколько понятий: «эргономическая образовательная среда», «эргономическая образовательная система», «эргономичность», «эргономическое образовательное пространство», «эргономизация». Раскрыта их сущностная характеристика и наполняемость, дана характеристика эргономической компоненты образовательной среды, отмечены этапы, принципы, параметры, требования и показатели процесса формирования эргономической образовательной среды, а также указан компонентный состав технологии создания и применения комфортной среды в образовательном процессе. Делается вывод, что при формировании эргономической образовательной среды на основе эргономического подхода учет учебной деятельности обучающихся и трудовой деятельности педагога обеспечит развитие личности и сохранение здоровья. The article investigates the issue of creating the conceptual apparatus of a new branch of pedagogy, namely educational ergonomics. The relevance of the research is accounted for by the necessity to ensure comfortable and safe education, which can only be achieved through an ergonomic educational environment. The aim of the research is to provide a theoretical substantiation of the necessity to create an ergonomic educational environment which ensures learners’ harmonious development and health preservation coupled with learners’ educational potential. The article investigates Russian and foreign scholars’ works devoted to the investigation of terminology related to educational ergonomics. Having researched the formation of ergonomic educational environments, we can maintain that the phenomenon is largely underinvestigated. Pedagogical ergonomics is only treated as a branch of pedagogy. We have formulated a number of notions such as ergonomic educational environment, ergonomic educational system, ergonomics, ergonomic learning space, ergonomization. The article characterizes the essence and the content of the notions, characterizes the ergonomic components of educational environments, speaks about the stages, principles, parameters, requirements and indices of the process of ergonomic educational environment formation. It also discusses the components of the technology of creating a comfortable learning environment. The author concludes that when an ergonomic educational environment is created, the analysis of teachers’ and learners’ academic activities can ensure both personality development and health preservation.

Informal learning has always been part of humankind, but only in recent decades has it attracted the attention of educational researchers. This chapter examines four challenges (conceptual, methodological, institutional, and pedagogical) related to informal learning. The section on the conceptual challenge addresses the distinctions between informal learning, informal teaching, and informal education, and identifies three forms of informal learning: self-directed, incidental, and tacit. The section on the methodological challenge discusses the difficulties of researching informal learning (particularly incidental and tacit forms), describes an approach to elicit informal learning, and presents a critical analysis of its strengths and limitations. The section on the institutional challenge discusses issues related to the assessment and recognition of informal learning. Finally, the section on the pedagogical challenge highlights the potential of informal education to nurture informal learning.

It is known that an informal learning environment (i.e., out-of-school) increases the quality of teaching and learning activities. Informal environments also provide many advantages such as enriching the content of learning. Moreover, it is emphasised that the science-technology-society-environment (STSE) learning does not effectively involve in the Turkish education system. From this point of view, informal learning environments should be considered in order to enable students’ understanding of the STSE relation. Within the scope of this study, it was aimed to determine the effectiveness of study visit on students’ understanding of STSE. The research was conducted with 14 male students in the 5th-grade level in the 2016– 2017 academic year. This research, which used a recycling-solid waste collection centre, a botanic garden, a planetarium, a science centre and a zoo, a few informal learning environments, was conducted according to the case study design method. In the study, views on science-technology-society questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, observation forms and diaries were used as data collection tools. The data indicated that the informal learning environments were inadequate to promote conceptual change; however, it was effective to comprehend newly learnt concepts. In addition, it was also concluded that informal learning environment provided students to capture the understanding of STSE relations. Keywords: Science-technology-society-environment (STSE), informal education, out-of-school environment.

The purpose of the article lies in the comprehension of theoretical aspects of distance learning as the most efficient cultural and organizational paradigm of educational field development, specific nature of its realization, and prospects for cultural and artistic education development. The methodology of the research is based on the application of methods of hermeneutic interpretation (to determine specific features of distance education in foreign and national higher education establishments), comparative analysis (with the purpose to discover reasons for active development and peculiarities of realization of distance education technologies in European and US higher education establishments), structural and functional method (to discover the role of distance education in a time of civilizational globalization and social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic). The scientific novelty lies in carrying out a theoretical analysis of distance education development in European countries, the USA and Ukraine, determination of advantages and disadvantages of implementation of distance education in the educational environment, the discovery of priority ways of distance education development for cultural and artistic disciplines. Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic provided conditions due to which adoption of distance education technologies to the traditional education system – internal and external – became the only possible form of implementation of the education activity. The new conditions caused the creation of a brand new educational environment that determined potential ways of higher education development in the future. The conceptual framework of search and realization of a new educational strategy needs to take into account a paradigm basis for cultural and artistic education and science development that is possible on the condition of adoptive integration of information and communication technologies into the cultural and artistic field.
