The article considers the model of development of modern megacities and substantiates the need for the formation of a polycentric structure of the spatial development of agglomerations. The current trends in the placement of educational, research, innovation, business and shopping and entertainment functions for the development of the agglomeration territory are analyzed, the structure of the risks of implementing a polycentric model of the development of the St. Petersburg agglomeration and the directions of their leveling and overcoming are proposed. As the most important driver for the polycentric development of the St. Petersburg agglomeration, the author highlights the creation of places of employment, both in the production and post-industrial spheres – the service economy and the knowledge economy, the IT sector.

Constructivist Epistemology

The assumptions underlying this contribution are, first, that educational research, like research in other fields, is expected to yield knowledge. This is rather uncontroversial. It is only when it comes to the definition of knowledge, the kinds of knowledge sought and to questions as to whose knowledge counts, that the debate characteristically becomes more heated. Second, and perhaps more controversially, a discussion of the nature and purposes of educational research will, at some stage, have to engage with the notion of truth. Despite having traditionally been a serious philosophical subject, the idea of truth has in recent times become rather unpopular, an idea non grata. The reconceptualisation of knowledge and the decline of truth are due in no small part to the increased popularity of certain kinds of postcolonial theory, postmodernism, constructivism and feminist thought, the rise of subaltern science and alternative epistemologies in academia. This article critically examines current trends in the theory of educational research: the case against ‘crypto-positivism’ and ‘hyperrationality’, and the trend in favour of ‘epistemological diversity’ and ‘critical constructivist epistemology’, especially against the backdrop of the decline of truth as a significant subject and yardstick that is currently exercising and restraining us, as educational researchers, philosophers and as persons.

In the context of the major influence that ‘effectiveness’ is having internationally, paper studies the contemporary methodological perspectives in educational research when considering teachers’ practice. It shows that current trends can be boiled down to: (1) naturalistic methodology, (2) descriptive methodology, and (3) the nonmethodological solution. It states two main conclusions: first, there is a neat continuity with traditional methodologies, which were in decline long ago; second, contemporary perspectives in educational research fail to provide a consistent methodological model for ‘effective practices’. The author finally draws some conclusions and makes some suggestions for the further development of methodology in educational research and teachers’ practice. This study is noteworthy for teachers’ practice, collaborations and partnerships, and also for the relationship amongst research/practice/policy, which is at the core of the implementation of educational systems.

Resumen: Las tendencias actuales en Educación Artística incorporan de manera decisiva el manejo de la imagen. Fotografía, video, cine, videojuegos, TIC, y audiovisuales en general, forman parte de un entramado amplio y diverso de posibilidades de creación y difusión de las imágenes. El profesorado de educación en artes está utilizando las imágenes de diferentes formas, y lo que necesitamos es impulsar la investigación sobre estos nuevos usos de la imagen en el ámbito educativo de las artes. Cuando hablamos de imagen no nos referimos únicamente a los usos de las TIC por parte del alumnado y el profesorado, sino que estamos hablando de la posibilidad de investigar desde la propia imagen, con las imágenes, como demuestras las tendencias de las A/R/Tography (Irwin y O’Donoghue, 2012), de la ABR Arts Based Research (Rose, 2016) y de ABER Arts Based Educational Research (Rolling, 2017). Así las cosas, debemos prestar atención a todos los nuevos modelos de investigación en los cuales la imagen forma parte de las posibilidades de indagación y justificación científica en materia de arte y educación (Hernández, 2013). Palabras clave: educación artística, investigación, arte, formación de profesorado, educomunicación.   Abstract: Current trends in Arts Education decisively incorporate the management of the image. Photography, video, film, video games, ICT, and audiovisual in general, are part of a wide and diverse network of possibilities for the creation and dissemination of images. Teachers of arts education are using images in different ways, and what we need is to promote research on these new uses of the image in the educational field of the arts. When we talk about image we do not only refer to the uses of ICT by students and teachers, but we are talking about the possibility of investigating from the own image, with the images, as you demonstrate the tendencies of the A / R / Tography (Irwin and O'Donoghue, 2012), ABR Arts Based Research (Rose, 2016) and ABER Arts Based Educational Research (Rolling, 2017). Thus, we must pay attention to all new research models in which the image is part of the possibilities of inquiry and scientific justification in the field of art and education (Hernández, 2013). Keywords: art education, research, art, teachers training, educommunication.   http://dx.doi.org/10.7203/eari.9.13378
