Modeling of ecophobic tendencies of consciousness of higher education students

Abstract

The article reveals the peculiarities of the formation of strategies for the development of ecological consciousness (ecophilic educational strategies) of higher education students on the basis of digital models of ecophobic tendencies (intentions, values). Based on the application of the developed “Fedorets-Klochko mini-questionnaire "Ecophobic consciousness of the industrial epoch"” an experimental study of ecophobic and ecophilic intentions and values of higher education students. This mini-questionnaire reveals the environmental aspects of consciousness by actualizing the culture and psychology of everyday life. Based on the application of digital and mathematical modeling, ecological and value comprehension of the results of experimental research conducted using this mini-questionnaire, a model of “Archaic ecophobic intentions and values” was formed. This model contains the following digital models: “Matrix of coefficients (weights) for determining ecophobic intentions and values” and “Cluster model of ecophobic intentions and values”. Based on the application of these digital models, the concept of sustainable development and other concepts and approaches, three ecophilic educational strategies have been developed: “Synergistic strategy of personal security through care for the Earth”; “Strategy for harmonization of needs based on care for the Earth”; “Strategy for harmonization of human-Earth interaction”. When using the “Matrix of coefficients (weights) to determine ecophobic intentions and values” determines the system-organizing value and the dominant influence of the “Synergistic strategy of personal security through care for the Earth”. This strategy has a genetic and semantic connection with the basic vital (vital) value – food security (individual and collective). The application of this strategy can be relevant in educational theory and practice and in everyday life (life, work) to optimize and minimize human needs.
