Classification of Models in Pedagogy

The paper reflects the results of activities related to the development of models of fragments of reality: their purpose, features and classification, in relation to the study of processes in pedagogy. The analysis of scientific research is carried out, revealing the basics of mental formation, construction and implementation in practice of the model–representation of the original, answering the questions “what should the model be and what properties should it have?”, “what information to carry and in what form to display?”, “how to characterize the developed model without revealing its content and features? The article includes examples of classification of models distinguished by the authors according to specific characteristics: the principle of conformity to the properties of the object and the degree of materialization, the sequence and periodization of their construction, the similarity of the model with the original, the direction of the main information flows circulating between the subject and the world around him. In order to organize knowledge and indicate the subjective position of the author, the principles of model construction, the requirements for their content and their inherent individual properties, taken as a basis in the work, are given. A variant of classification of models according to characteristics is proposed: relation to the original in the process of activity, method of implementation, form of representation and reflection of the state of the simulated object. The typology is based on the principle of a universal decimal classifier with the possibility of making changes and additions to the structure and content. The models mentioned in the works are included in a separate list, but due to functional similarity with other models (or rather a clear lack of originality), the presence of controversial issues in the issues of application in pedagogy, were not reflected in the proposed classifier.
