Nature-aligned Education Technologies as the Basis of Forming an Individual Noospheric Consciousness
Abstract
With the aim of identifying the mechanisms of the emergence of positive changes in the formation of students’ consciousness, factors determining natural conformity of perceiving reality are considered. A number of features of shifting from sinistrocerebral to holistic thinking are considered. It is shown that the introduction of noospheric consciousness into the realization of individual basic functions displays his/her ability to self-awareness of an integrated system of structural-functional dynamics of the psyche. The problem of bringing the education system into line with the major trends in the development of scientific research is set up. In this regard, a mental image in the shape of a holographic form is considered as a holistic holographic image of an event, phenomenon, and subject filled with information and perceived by all senses individually. It is shown that consideration of dynamics of forming mental images in educational processes is a factor of ensuring psychological health. It is shown that nature-aligned consciousness is emergent in the organization of cognition and comprehension, when it unexpectedly arises from the gross properties of consciousness and is projected onto each individual consciousness able to engage in a global neural network – the noosphere, the information layer, the collective unconscious and superconscious. It is shown that instead of a trained sinistrocerebral, clip, terminal way of thinking, when human capabilities are limited and health is exhausted, a nature-aligned, holistic, neural network, emergent way of thinking is possible that opens up new possibilities of the pupil, and, most importantly, saves health. Such feature of the brain as its permanent activity is considered, which is presented by specific cerebral oscillations of the brain rhythms: delta rhythms (0.5 to 4 Hz), theta rhythms (4–8 Hz), alpha rhythms (8–13 Hz), beta rhythms (14–40 Hz) and gamma rhythms (over 40 Hz) and sigma-rhythms (10–16 Hz from 13 to 14 cycles per second). Each of the rhythms is a symptom of a certain state of consciousness. The importance of changing the mode of operation of the brain and nervous system is shown: activity – relaxation in the learning process. It is discussed that the modern system of education and personal development faces the task, the solution of which noospheric psycho-pedagogy offers: how to shape nature-aligned consciousness of the individual, which allows discovering unlimited resources of a person’s alpha theta, sigma and gamma states. It is argued that in the light of the latest scientific discoveries on the modern stage of society development the teacher should know and use in their activities to nature-aligned educational technologies, aimed at forming nature-aligned noospheric consciousness of the individual. A teacher can and should contribute to the harmonious work of a brain of the student in the learning process. This is possible if the teacher applies bioadequate methods of teaching and uses bioadequate textbooks. It is recommended for the teacher to take a refresher course “Holistic thinking” and “Nature-aligned methods of teaching academic disciplines.”
