DESIGN OF DISTANT DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENT

The article covers psychological problems emerging in designing of modern distant environments for self-development under the newer computer technologies (Web.2.0). As a basis, the student-centred paradigm of instruction is used, which reflects the model of the student's self-development. Its principal design characteristics were analyzed, and the relevant psychoeducational characteristics considered. This approach is closely related to the view of the context (i.e. environment) as a dimension for self-development where all explicit and implicit possibilities can be used as resources, including other people, potential of the Internet etc. The evidence is given that the conception of the personality self-development offered by G.S. Kostiuk proposes effective approaches to solution of the problem of supporting developmental potential of distance learning.
