All pedagogical phenomena arising in the evolutionary process of formation and development of educational activity find explanation in the structural changes of the elements of the pedagogical system as well as in changes of the properties of its elements or the nature of the connections between them " (p. 6). |

At the same time, the pedagogical system is a complex continuously changing social management system, in which educational tasks are solved and pedagogical goals are achieved " (p. 7). |
