Abstract

The article describes the experience of introducing remote sensing technologies into the educational process of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine as an educational innovation. Ten conditional stages of implementation of this innovation are identified, specified and generalized, in particular: identification of contradiction, generation of an idea, development of innovation, testing of innovation, verification of effectiveness of innovation, correction of innovation in accordance with the results of the previous stage, scaling, verification of effectiveness of innovation in scaling, improvement of innovation and organic integration or stagnation. According to the defined stages of the introduction of remote sensing technologies into the educational process of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the author outlines their effectiveness, in particular, at the first stage — the identification of contradictions, describes some international projects aimed at introducing remote sensing technologies into the educational practice of the school level: The use of Landsat satellite images in school education (UK); FIS project (Germany); Colors of Earth project (Poland); YCHANGE project (Czech Republic­Germany­Estonia­Switzerland); GLOBE project (USA) and others, compared to projects implemented in Ukraine and related to remote sensing: the GIS in Geography section of the Kyiv Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, NASA projects involving students from Ukraine: Sally Ride EarthKAM and GLOBE. A visual representation of the author’s model of information and educational system of science education of participants of the educational process of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for the use of remote sensing technologies is presented. On the basis of a retrospective analysis of the introduction of remote sensing technologies into the educational process of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the current state and prospects for the development of this innovation are outlined.
