Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of finding effective educational environment formats, focusing on such innovative practices as the “educational ecosystem” and the diversity of its capabilities in comparison with traditional systems. The article analyzes the concept of “educational ecosystem”, its development trends, and describes the functional capabilities of the appropriate education format, using the example of some types of educational institutions (hub schools, immersive, growing and other schools). The article focuses on the assessment of new architectural and spatial design of modern schools, operating on the principle of ecosystems. We provide some requirements, taking into account the new training format. Based on the study of existing assessments of a number of educational ecosystems’ effectiveness, the article systematizes the risks of transition to a new model of the educational environment. The practical part of the study summarizes the practices of schools in the Republic of Tatarstan, operating with a focus on creating educational ecosystems. The article concludes that modern schools and educational centers are certainly not fully capable of abandoning the traditional system, but there is no doubt that educational ecosystems give ample opportunities to provide special comfortable conditions for the learning and development of schoolchildren and require further study.
