THE FOURTH PARADIGM: DATA-INTENSIVE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances depends on how well

its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of

eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud

computing technologies.

•Subjecthood• Personalized Knowledge vs. Standard Curriculum• Structurisation. Decreasing of Entropy• Subjectiveness of Content

•Collaboration• Teacher as a partner. Leader vs. driver• Personal, naturally formed, multidimensional status of a participant• New assessment. Monitoring of personal achievements vs. standard grades

•Redundancy• Redundant educational environment. Variety of knowledge sources

(media, culture artifacts, people of different ages and qualification)• Personal way of learning• Role of a teacher as an organizer of students activities but not as a

provider of the content

CONCLUSIONS• Both technology and education can be presented in the

space of three types of culture - spiritual, social and technological

• There are three contemporary phenomena corresponding to the three types of culture: Personal Identity Online, Social Media and Data Intensive Science

• Personal Identity is formed in Cyberspace in addition to real identity• Social Media forms social consciousness• Science becomes data-intensive

• Crisis of the cultural value of Science Education and domination of Data Intensive Science

• Education 2.0 provides a common platform for both personal and social components of educational process
