Aesthetic event" as a form of embodiment of situations of aesthetic education of students: logic and principles of construction based on the material of O. Wilde's work "The Birthday of the Infanta"
The article reveals the problem of updating the content of aesthetic education and its means for student youth. The methodological basis of the research is the post-non-classical approach. The purpose of the study is to consider aesthetic education as a system for constructing situations and methods of a value -semantic nature, which are based on the joint aesthetic and semantic activity of a teacher and students. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are set: 1) to identify the target and content characteristics of aesthetic education from the standpoint of the post-non-classical paradigm; 2) to develop the logic of designing an "aesthetic event" as a form of embodiment of situations of aesthetic education. In the course of the study, theoretical methods were used: analysis and synthesis of theoretical provisions reflected in the philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature; scientific theorization in the context of the ideas of post-non-classical science and on its methodological basis. Hermeneutic Methods: Interpretation, Comprehending Students' Reflective Descriptions. Empirical methods: observation, questioning and diagnostic methods (questionnaires, conversation), reflective essays, analysis of students' creative works. The scientific novelty of the results of the study lies in the substantiation of the aesthetic and semantic experience as the content of the aesthetic education of students; development of the situation "aesthetic event" - the technology of value-semantic interaction of the student with works of art, natural phenomena, other people. The structure of the "aesthetic event" consists in the implementation of the joint aesthetic and semantic activity of the teacher and students of the four components: introduction, interpretation, comprehension, metaphor. The logic and principles of designing such a situation are considered. The author refers to his own experience of constructing an "aesthetic event". The article describes in detail the logic of the English lesson "Collision of the beautiful and the ugly in the work of O. Wilde's «The Birthday of the Infanta»" in the form of an "aesthetic event". The theoretical significance of the results of the study lies in the substantiation of the pedagogical means of aesthetic education of student youth from the standpoint of the post-non-classical approach. The technology of aesthetic education of students tested in the course of the study is of practical value for organizing the educational activities of university teachers, curators of student groups.
