Cognitive Turn: Possible Implementation Practices

Improving the system of scientific knowledge inevitably leads to changes in the social reality. In the work “Cognitive Turn: The Change in the Foundations of Intellectual Culture” V.I. Razumov calls the process of changes – “a cognitive turn”. The purpose of the article is to predict their implementation in practice on the basis of the most significant tasks of the cognitive turn. To achieve the goal, the author uses such methods as analysis and forecasting. The main tasks of the cognitive turn include: the formulation of the provisions forming their new base on which science and education will be built; the formation of a new scientific approach to scientific activity; the realization that the most complex subject of the Universe is a man himself. When formulating the provisions forming the new educational base, the orientation of the cognitive turn in education is revealed. Instead of mechanically assimilating information, students get the opportunity to develop as active participants in their own learning, acquire the skills of independent search and processing of knowledge, which makes them ready for the challenges of our time. The formulation of the provisions forming the new base of science required an analysis of existing developments using the example of the application of categorical methodology, which made it possible to determine the existing effects of the cognitive imperative on the components of science: research methods, categories, theories. It is important that the examples are taken from various fi elds of scientific knowledge. The given examples of the resourcefulness of cognitive technologies in the development of science have shown the movement of modern science towards a multidimensional approach. Analyzing the role of cognitive technologies in shaping modern scientific activity, it is shown that it is provided through automation, increased accuracy, improved visualization, decision support and expansion of interdisciplinary connections, which creates favorable conditions for accelerating scientific research and stimulating innovation. In studying Man as an object of the Universe, cognitive technologies will allow for a deeper understanding of his nature as a biological, psychological and social being, through promising studies of his cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects. During the analysis of cognitive turn tasks, an attempt was made to predict the implementation of some aspects of them in practice – in education, science, scientific activity and in research.
