PROJECTIVE ILLUSTRATIVE METHOD “DRAW PHILOSOPHY” IN THE RESEARCH OF THE VALUE-SENSE SPHERE

Abstract

The development of methods for diagnosing worldview positions becomes particularly relevant in war conditions and emergency situations. The transformation of value orientations of modern youth in turn actualizes the search for new forms of philosophical research. Our review of works on social psychology indicates the popularity of the least formalized projective methods for research in the value-semantic sphere - pictorial.
The article presents the projective drawing technique “Draw Philosophy”. The technique was developed by the authors in 2019 at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” for teaching philosophical disciplines. This technique was used by us in classes on the academic discipline “Introduction to Philosophy” for a number of engineering specialties, starting from 2020. Simultaneously with “Introduction to Philosophy” at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, future specialists in STEM fields study a discipline from the block of psychological educational components, so familiarizing students with various projective drawing techniques is useful for the educational process as a whole.
The article also describes the features of the application of this methodology in the educational process both during stationary and distance learning formats. The possibilities of applying the methodology in philosophical practice and philosophical counseling are considered. The differences in the application of the methodology for the educational process and philosophical counseling are noted.
In philosophical counseling, we have been focused on reflective practices in the field of the axiosphere. The demand for projective pictorial methods among students is also partly due to the fact that the awareness of the social nature of human existence occurs in modern young people not through texts, but through visual information on the Internet. The play of words and meanings in memes, which is common for online communication among young people, modernizes the use of pictorial methods in philosophical practice and creates comfortable conditions for philosophical counseling among students.
