Compose in the information space. Personal information space

In the conditions of the modern dynamic development of society and its rapidly developing technical and social infrastructure, information becomes the most important strategic resource. The level of informatization, in addition, is becoming one of the essential factors for the successful economic development and competitiveness of the region both in the domestic and foreign markets.

In the modern period of development of society, characterized by fundamental changes in the socio-economic, political and other spheres, the goal of education is the formation of creatively thinking students with a high information culture, able to quickly adapt in a rapidly changing world. The need to develop new approaches to education is dictated by society's dissatisfaction with its quality. Changing the conditions of society inevitably leads to the improvement of educational concepts.

The education of a student is a social order of society, which is determined by the socio-psychological needs of society, the level of its development, the moral and moral values of this society. Unfortunately, the process of modernization in the education system is difficult.

Main purpose of use information technologies in the educational process as an innovative approach in education lies in the development of students' abilities on the basis of self-regulation and self-education; the formation of a scientific foundation for the successful forecasting of one's own professional activity, the creative development of the individual and the right choice of an individual program of a person.

Psychologists distinguish the following personal spaces of a person: bodily, objective, space, information space, emotional space, time. Personal information space is a mandatory attribute of a person of the 21st century, and skills for its formation can be considered as important information competencies. The creation of the information space is aimed at information interaction between subjects, satisfaction of their information needs.

In recent years, a new generation of parents brings their children to school, possessing high level computer literacy. The class teacher's own blog as one of the types of information space will help the teacher to quickly and more conveniently exchange information with students and their parents, actively use the latest technical achievements and technologies in class and extracurricular activities. Having your own blog, a teacher can solve many problems. Communication with students goes to a whole new level.

Blog(eng. blog, from web log "," network log or event diary") is a website whose main content is regularly added entries in the form of text, images or multimedia.

When creating blogs, teachers do not always realize what additional opportunities open up both for themselves and for other participants and readers of their blog. First you need to decide what types of web diaries exist.

blog for the professional community;

teacher's personal professional blog;

blog in support of the educational project;

abstract blog (this is a blog for posting educational content
any topic).

D
For my work as a subject teacher and as a form teacher, I have created two teacher blogs. Class blog (http ://ucheba -i -zhizn .blogspot .ru /) and computer science teacher blog (http ://region -info .blogspot .ru /).

A class blog is a living organism that grows and changes.

Readers of the blog, and this is primarily students, find all sorts of useful information on the blog pages: class schedule, calendar of classes and vacations, information about the school, school administration and teachers, homework (students themselves are responsible for maintaining this page), there are useful links to informational educational resources of the Internet in all subjects, going there, students get the opportunity to prepare for their lessons by watching the necessary video lesson materials. There are necessary links to pages and sites with useful tips psychologists for parents and students. Links to official educational portals for obtaining important timely information and preparing for the final certification. I quickly fill out a cool electronic journal, access to this resource is limited only to students of our class and their parents, unlike all other blog materials (everyone can view them). There is a page with information from the parent committee (information is uploaded there by the parents themselves). Pro safe work On the Internet you can find a lot of advice, both for students and for their parents. On the home page relevant messages are posted with announcements, interesting articles, birthday greetings, etc., photo and video reports on past events at school and in the classroom. Using the capabilities of the modern Web-2, I conduct surveys, testing, questioning students on various necessary topics, the answers can be processed immediately, because. tables are filled in automatically. The blog works well Feedback, all readers have the opportunity to leave comments, visits are recorded, you can organize a chat in real time. By clicking on the link from the class blog, you can already get to the computer science teacher's blog and use the materials for the lessons. This is my second blog, which I use as a personal information space in my work on the subject with students throughout the school.

The development of the creative and intellectual potential of students through the use of ICT is one of the main tasks of the teacher. The network has ceased to be an information transmission medium and a transport channel for the delivery of knowledge. It has become a place where students are constantly, where they perform actions with the help of social services to help you think and act together.

The use of a computer in teaching makes it possible to control the cognitive activity of schoolchildren; in this case, training is built within the framework of a student-oriented model. Web-resource of the teacher, which contains tests for interactive computer testing, creative work and materials for lessons. The blog is a kind of electronic portfolio of a teacher. Blog site additional opportunity introduction of information technologies into the practice of a subject teacher.

The Internet is, above all, an important source of information. In connection with the growth of information volumes, it is necessary to form an information culture. It is understood as knowledge of sources of information, techniques and methods of rational work with them, their application in practical activities.

In the future, I plan to work on the personal information space of students. The personal information space of students is formed on the basis of personal computers. A close option is for the student to create his own personal website based on one of the many free hosting or a similar diary of events - a blog. In this case, the student creates and stores their documents at the remote site. Simplification of the publication procedure, accessibility various services leads to the fact that there is a transition from the concept of "school site" to the concept of "personal student site". This personal student site serves as a personal informational learning space. A teacher's blog appears, then a student's blog appears, the teacher sets the norm for communicative behavior on the network. Such blogs are elements of a modern educational environment in which equal participants develop - students and teachers.

The very emergence of the concept of personal learning space reflects a change in attitudes towards what the student is doing. From a paper portfolio with diplomas and diplomas, a transition is being made to a model in which the student is more responsible for his learning, he collects and presents not only his final, but also intermediate results of his activities.

The last decade has put the school in a situation where it is necessary to introduce significant changes in the system of teaching and educating students. These changes should be ensured by the reform of the school, which is dictated by the modernization of education, the computerization of schools. All this will allow to form a positive motivation for learning activities, to implement a differentiated, individual approach to learning at the student level, to individualize the learning process, to create reliable system monitoring the assimilation of knowledge, to carry out the learning process in the mode of cooperation between the teacher and the student, to improve the pedagogical qualifications of the teacher.

Information space

Today, the Internet already has an information base available for experiments of such a volume that it was previously difficult to imagine. Moreover, the volume of this database exceeds by several orders of magnitude everything that was available a decade ago. In August 2005, Yahoo announced that it had indexed about 20 billion documents. Last year's achievement Google amounted to less than 10 billion documents, i.e. in one year, the amount of open, accessible information from the Internet has doubled. According to the Web Server Survey in August 2005, the number of Web sites exceeded 72 million. Thus, the presented data confirm the exponential nature of information growth.

This growth is accompanied by a number of challenges, such as:

1) a disproportionate increase in the level of information noise;

3) weak structured information;

4) repeated duplication of information.

The traditional Web also has such disadvantages as an abundance of "information garbage", the impossibility of guaranteeing the integrity of documents, the practical absence of the possibility of semantic search, and limited access to the "hidden" Web.

The information space is a set of results of the semantic activity of mankind. It can be understood both in a figurative sense and in an idealistic one, the latter approach is developed in philosophy, as well as in para- and pseudo-scientific studies, then the information space can be understood as “the world of names and titles associated with the ontological” (physical).

The information space can also be considered a set of banks and databases, technologies for their maintenance and use, information telecommunication systems operating on the basis of general principles and providing:

1) information interaction of organizations and citizens;

2) satisfaction of their information needs.

Strictly speaking, the information space, being one of the primary concepts, cannot be precisely defined. Most often, this term is understood as a logical opposition to the objective (objective, physical, material) world.

It is generally considered that the information space is the same as the semantic space. From a practical point of view, it is.

The main components of the information space are: information resources, means of information interaction and information infrastructure.

The problem of "knowledge", most likely, will never be reduced to any set of tasks that could be finally solved in a purely technological way. On the contrary, it will apparently require serious research in various directions, including at a sufficiently high theoretical level. One of the central issues in this regard, in our opinion, is the relationship between the information and semantic space, which, as a rule, is given unreasonably little attention. In the literature, they are often even identified, without any reason. The fact that these two categories are in no way identical, obviously follows from the difference in their nature: the information space is formed by data physically recorded on various media, while the semantic space is generated by complexes of abstract concepts associated with subjective assessments given by a person. It seems most natural to define the network semantic space as a set of units of meaning that are relevant in a given socio-cultural context and represented in the network. Under the unit of meaning, we, as usual, understand an elementary category that allows us to build subjective value judgments about things and processes related to the world around us. AT real life between them, of course, there is a very definite connection, but finding this connection, apparently, is a very non-trivial task.

Fundamentals of searching for information on the Internet.

The search for information is a task that mankind has been solving for many centuries. As the volume of information resources potentially available to one person (for example, a library visitor) grew, more and more sophisticated and sophisticated search tools and techniques were developed to find the required document.

All the means and methods of information search found over many years are available and effective when searching for information on the Internet.

Consider general scheme: The author creates the document. The user has an information need. This information need often (as a rule) cannot even be accurately expressed in words, and is expressed only in the assessment of viewed documents - suitable or not suitable. In the theory of information retrieval, instead of the word “suitable”, the term “pertinent document” is used, and instead of “not suitable”, “not pertinent”. The word "pertinent" comes from the English "pertinent", which means "relevant to the case, suitable in essence." The subjectively understood goal of information retrieval is to find all pertinent and only pertinent documents (we want to find "just what we want and nothing else").

This goal is ideal and yet unattainable. We are often only able to evaluate the pertinence of a document in comparison to other documents. In order to have something to compare with, a certain number of non-pertinent documents are needed. These documents are called - "noise". Too much noise makes it difficult to identify pertinent documents, too little noise does not give confidence that a sufficient number of pertinent documents have been found. Practice shows that when the number of non-pertinent documents lies in the range from 10% to 30%, the seeker feels comfortable not getting lost in a sea of noise and considering that the number of documents found is satisfactory.

When there are many documents, an information retrieval system is used. In this case, the information need must be expressed by means that information retrieval systems "understand" - a Request must be formulated.

A query can rarely accurately express an information need. However, many information retrieval systems, for reasons described below, cannot determine whether a given document matches a query. To solve this problem, a synthetic criterion was introduced - the degree of compliance of the document with the request, which is called "relevance". A relevant document may not be pertinent and vice versa.

The structure of the information space.

Structure is a set of stable relationships and connections between the elements of the system. The structure includes the general organization of the system (subject, process, phenomenon), spatial and temporal location constituent parts systems, etc. The structure is formed not by any connections and relations, but, first of all, by natural, essential ones. The most important connections and relations (among the essential ones) are called integrating; they affect other regular connections, causing the general specificity of structures within the system.

The main structural components of the information space in its synergetic representation are information fields and information flows.

The information field is the totality of all concentrated in given volume space-time information, regardless of its form and state, which is in isolation both from the object of reflection and from the subject of perception. The information field is formed by objective, genetic and idealized information. The movement of information in the information field is carried out through a physical connection between the recipient and the source of information materialized in the information flow.

The information flow is generally a set of information moving in the information space through a communication channel. Information flows can flow both within individual infospheres and between them, depending on the availability of communication channels. At the same time, the meaningful nature of the information flow depends on the characteristics of the communication channel, so to transfer the information flow about a graphic object, it is necessary to use a communication channel that ensures the transmission of visual images (images), in otherwise inaccuracies and distortions of the content of the information transmitted in the information flow and its perception by the recipient are inevitable.

In the organizational and technical aspect, the structure of the information space is a set of databases and data banks, technologies for their maintenance, information and telecommunication systems, networks, applications and organizational structures that operate on the basis of certain principles and according to established rules providing information interaction of users, as well as satisfaction of their information needs.

An information system is an organizationally ordered set of specialists, information resources (document arrays) and information technologies, including using computer science and communications that implement information processes - obtaining input data. Processing this data and / or changing one's own internal state (internal connections / relations), issuing a result, or changing one's external state (external connections / relations).

Information systems are conventionally divided into simple and complex.

A simple information system is a system whose elements function in accordance with the rules generated by the same mutually consistent set of axioms.

A complex information system is a system that contains elements that function in accordance with the rules generated by different sets of axioms. At the same time, it is assumed that among the rules for the functioning of various elements there may be mutually contradictory rules and goals. Violation of protective barriers in the interaction of elements of a complex system with each other leads to the reprogramming of these elements and / or their destruction.

The means of providing automated information systems and their technologies include software, technical, linguistic, legal, organizational means(programs for electronic computers; computer equipment and communications; dictionaries, thesauri and classifiers; instructions and methods; regulations, charters, job descriptions; schemes and their descriptions, other operational and accompanying documentation) used or created in the design of information systems and ensuring their operation.

The composition of the technological and organizational components of the information space in a generalized version includes:

1) Information and telecommunications infrastructure - computers geographically distributed in the country (countries, world), interconnected in a network by means of communication and telecommunications.

Information infrastructure is an environment that provides the possibility of collecting, transmitting, storing, automated processing and dissemination of information in society. The information infrastructure of society is formed by a combination of:

a) information and telecommunication systems and communication networks, the industry of informatization, telecommunications and communications;

b) systems for the formation and preservation of information resources; systems for providing access to information and telecommunication systems, communication networks and information resources;

c) the information services industry and the information market;

d) systems for training and retraining of personnel, conducting scientific research.

2) Information resources on machine media, primarily specialized information arrays in the form of automated databases, as well as information resources distributed over WEB sites in Internet networks. Information resources include individual documents and individual arrays of documents, documents and arrays of documents in information systems(libraries, archives, collections, data banks, knowledge bases, other information systems). Information resources are objects of relations of physical, legal entities, states. Information resources can be state and non-state and, as an element of the composition of property, be owned by citizens, bodies state power, local governments, organizations and public associations.

There are a number of features that distinguish information resources from other types of resources:

a) they are not consumed and are subject not to physical, but to obsolescence;

b) they are inherently intangible and irreducible to the physical medium in which they are embodied;

c) their use allows to sharply reduce the consumption of other types of resources, which ultimately leads to enormous cost savings;

the process of their creation and use is carried out with the help of computer technology.

3) Methods and means of applied mathematics - algorithms and software(complexes) that ensure the functioning of hardware platforms (systems).

4) Organizational measures that ensure the functioning of the components of the information space (conferences, activities of working groups of specialists, etc.).

5) Legal measures (norms) - information legislation, international agreements and treaties, other national and international normative legal acts.

6) The market of information technologies, means of communication, informatization and telecommunications, information products and services.

The information space of social systems includes the following:

1) Information space units that generate information:

a) in the media - group communicators (editions of the media) and key communicators (communicators directly included in the editorial offices of the media, personifying the information of this media);

b) newsmakers (eng. Newsmaker - literally "creator of news") - leaders of public opinion (politicians, economic leaders, representatives of the cultural elite, etc.);

c) experts (interpreters) - specialists who actively and professionally work with information, the nature and form of information flows depend on their comments (interpretation) (political scientists, economists, sociologists, etc.);

d) opinion leaders - enough active people, unlike the above categories, not tied to certain channels of information dissemination, having a cumulative need for information dissemination (in small and medium social groups);

e) producers of special information (theater, cinema, advertising in all its manifestations outside the media, fashion, goods, money (in mass communications), architecture, etc.).

2) Communication channels:

a) formed by the media and MC (printed, electronic and other media);

b) channels of interpersonal communication (interpersonal communication);

c) specialized - aimed at narrow groups - professional, elite, etc. (specialized professional publications, partly - Internet);

d) the rest (commodity-money channels).

3) Areas - in social systems are formed according to certain socio-psychological principles, are included in certain network(information channels). Areas included in certain channels in this moment time, may overlap; there are also areas that are not included in the channel (s), but are influenced by the context, the general rhythm information processes and synchronized through secondary influences.

In relation to information, areas (in social systems) are divided into:

a) information generators (superinnovators) ~ 3%;

b) innovators (quickly accept new things from generators) ~ 15%;

c) center (moderate innovators / moderate conservatives) ~ 30%;

d) superconservatives (practically do not perceive changes due to rigid internal barriers to everything new) ~ 15%.

One of these components, in particular, is virtual reality, which is formed in the form of virtual analogues of real objects and processes (for example, chats and forums, electronic banking, e-commerce system, geoinformation systems, electronic document management systems, computer-aided design and simulation of physical processes, etc.), which are based on the corresponding software and hardware platforms and information and telecommunication networks and communication systems. Which is perceived by a person (user) as a model-substitute for the actual reality or as a kind of reality that is primary in relation to objective reality.

The mass creation of information resources integrated into the global information space, such as WEB sites and the publication of materials in the "online" mode (from the English on-line - "on the line"), creates a situation where users cannot benefit from this, because as the amount of information resources they need to control becomes too large. Thus, information that is important for users (in principle, available in the information space) is not technically available, since it requires too much time and / or money to “bypass” the necessary resources. As a result, there are qualitatively new changes in the structuring of the information space. These changes are in the "professional segmentation" of the information space of global information networks, primarily the Internet. Members of a particular professional community use a common standard for presenting their resources online. This allows them to launch a network service that, with a given regularity, collects additions / updates from private information resources (WEB sites) into a single database. If this system of resources includes all the information resources of the professional community, then control over receipts in this integral database replaces control over the content of the original set of resources.

Mass "professional segmentation" of information resources in global networks in principle provides significant advantages. It is possible, first of all, where there are sufficiently large professional communities (or interest groups), whose members conduct their information activity online.

Thus, the information space is a rather broad concept that different researchers interpret in different ways, but most scientists agree that the information space is a virtual opportunity to receive and use information, part of what we touch and see.

One of the promising areas is the creation and development of the information space of scientific communications, designed to provide info-communication support for the process of scientific research. Next, we will consider in more detail the structure and functions of the information space of scientific research.

CREATING A TEACHER'S PERSONAL INFORMATION SPACE

History teacher MBOUSOSH No. 57, Tula - Pimenov Alexander Nikolaevich

One of the main competencies of the modern educational process is the ability to work with information. Informatization of the educational process makes it possible to effectively provide educational and methodological assistance to students. The use of a computer in teaching makes it possible to control the cognitive activity of schoolchildren; in this case, training is built within the framework of a student-oriented model. In connection with the growth of information volumes, there is a direct need to form an information culture. The very appearance of the concept - personal learning space - reflects a change in attitudes towards what the student and teacher are doing.

The main goal of using information technologies in the educational process, as an innovative approach in education, is to develop the abilities of students on the basis of self-regulation and self-education; the formation of a scientific foundation for the successful forecasting of one's own professional activity, the creative development of the individual and the right choice of an individual program of a person.

Psychologists distinguish the following personal spaces of a person: bodily, subject space , information space , emotional space, time. Personal information space is a mandatory attribute of a person of the 21st century, and skills for its formation can be considered as important information competencies. The creation of the information space is aimed at information interaction between the subjects, satisfaction of their information needs.

Computer literacy has become a component of the professional level of a teacher. Thus, the informatization of the educational process makes it possible to effectively provide educational and methodological assistance to students in independent work over educational material. The development of the creative and intellectual potential of students through the use of ICT is one of the main tasks of the teacher.

The network has ceased to be an information transmission medium and a transport channel for the delivery of knowledge. It has become a place where students are constantly, where they take action with the help of social services that help them think and act together.

The use of a computer in teaching makes it possible to control the cognitive activity of schoolchildren; in this case, training is built within the framework of a student-oriented model.

The Internet is primarily an important source of information. In connection with the growth of information volumes, it is necessary to form an information culture. It is understood as knowledge of sources of information, techniques and methods of rational work with them, their application in practical activities.

The use of digital educational resources (DER) in the learning process has become commonplace and necessary, as it allows the teacher to more clearly demonstrate phenomena and processes, helps students to better understand the material, prepare for the lesson on their own or complete project work.

The Creative Teachers Network portal was created for educators who are interested in improving the quality of education through the use of information and communication technologies. On the portal, you can register and take part in the discussion of problems, exchange experiences with colleagues. Portal address: it-n.ru.

DERs (Digital Educational Resources) are widely used both for preparing for the lesson and in its conduct, they greatly facilitate the work of the teacher, from this we can conclude that they occupy a central place in the information space of the teacher.

Digital educational resources are digitally presented photographs, video clips, static and dynamic models, objects virtual reality and interactive modeling, cartographic materials, sound recordings, symbolic objects and business graphics, text documents and other educational materials necessary for the organization of the educational process.

By creating their own DERs and using those already created by someone, the teacher joins the information culture, which is currently developing very rapidly, to lag behind which means to get lost in information society.

DERs do not require cabinets or libraries to store; they are compactly stored in computer memory or on external media. They are not so difficult to structure and systematize than materials that are in printed form. This is one of the many advantages, because by accumulating DERs over the years, structuring them and “sorting them out”, the teacher creates his own system, on which he relies in the learning process.

This will make it possible to form a database of stored resources, and with a sufficient set of them and reasonable systematization and cataloging, organize a quick and accessible search and selection of the most appropriate DER topic of interest for both the teacher and students.

Internet technologies refer to personality-oriented technologies, since they are aimed at active cognitive activity and relate to the humanistic approach in psychology and education.

Email(e-mail) - important information resource The Internet, the most massive means of electronic communications, through it you can receive or send messages.

I use EP as a means of communication with students. On ep, the guys send me completed tasks, presentations.

For example, there is a site where you can take tests in various subjects and get a certificate of passing it. Multifunctional online designer of tests, surveys, crossword puzzles. It is better to register there, so that not an Anonymous Guest is written on the certificate, but the surname and name of the student. The guys send me these certificates by mail.

The teacher needs a personal information and educational space:

The last decade has put the school in a situation where it is necessary to introduce significant changes in the system of teaching and educating students. These changes should be ensured by the reform of the school, which is dictated by the modernization of education, the computerization of schools. All this will allow to form a positive motivation for learning activities, to implement a differentiated, individual approach to learning at the student level, to individualize the learning process, to create a reliable system for monitoring the assimilation of knowledge, to carry out the learning process in the mode of cooperation between a teacher and a student, to improve the pedagogical qualifications of a teacher.

Organization of the information space

§ 1.6. Representing an information space using a graphical interface

Representing an information space using a graphical interface

Information space. When working on a computer, the user runs programs and uses data stored in files. Files with programs and data available to the user are his information space.

If the computer is offline, then the information space includes the hierarchical folder system of this computer.

If the computer is connected to local network , then the information space includes a system of folders available to the user on computers connected to the network.

If the computer is connected to the Internet, then the user's information space is expanded due to files located on computers connected to the global network.

The information space is the folders and files available to the user on local computer and in computer networks.

Representing an information space with GUI. Information space, available to the user computer, appears in the form of a folder system. In Windows and Linux operating systems, the top of the graphical interface is the image on the monitor screen of the Desktop folder. Physically, the Desktop folder is located on system drive in the computer's user folder.

The next level is represented by folder icons A computer(Root folder in operating room Linux system), Basket and User personal folder (users), the analogue of this folder in Linux is home folder (Fig. 1.35).

Rice. 1.35. Desktop icons:
in the operating room Windows system(a); in operating system Linux (b)

In folder Computer (Root folder) there are folders of the next level - the root folders of the hard, optical and removable drives available on the computer.

The root folder of each drive in the Windows operating system contains a hierarchical subfolder system that displays a hierarchical file system this disk(Fig. 1.36).

Rice. 1.36. Displaying a hierarchical folder system
in the graphical interface of the Windows operating system

In folder Basket stored remote folders and files.

In folder Net there are folders of computers connected to the local network.

Icons and shortcuts on the desktop. After loading the operating system on the monitor screen appears Desktop, which automatically places some folder icons. For quick access to frequently used folders and applications, the user can create their shortcuts on the Desktop (links in the Linux operating system). To open a folder or launch an application, just click on the corresponding icon or shortcut (link).

Task bar. At the bottom of the screen is Task bar, which has the Start button on the left (the Menu button in the Linux operating system). Mouse click on a button Start brings up the Start menu (application launch menu in the Linux operating system), which allows you to start programs.

In the center of the taskbar minimized windows of applications and folders are located.

On the right side of the Taskbar is the Clock. To the left of the clock are system status indicators, including the keyboard layout indicator. Meaning indicator Ru indicates that the Russian keyboard layout is currently being used, eng denotes the English layout.
