THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO THE PROBLEM OF MEANING AND MEANING MAKING IN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
The paper considers one of the most important problems of modern psychology - the problem of meaning and meaning-making in the educational process. The authors ground the topicality of the research; present various approaches to this problem. Basing on the value system of students as original purpose and guide to the learning process, the authors conclude that it is possible to predict spontaneous meaning-making, and therefore, to enrich value orientation and an individual’s value regulations. They emphasise the need to pay special attention to ideational self-organization of students in accordance with the synergistic laws.
