Addressing Psychological Mechanisms of Personality Development in Educational Environment Design

The paper discusses the problems and ways of implementing in educational design the relevant educational paradigm that focuses on personality development in students. The authors analyse various approaches in psychology and pedagogics to the phenomenon of educational environment and its special role in personality development of individuals. As it is shown, personality development in students occurs in the process of their situational interaction with educational environment and as a result of actualization of specific psychological mechanisms. The paper provides a typology of situations of personality development in educational environment (cognitive orientation; object and activity orientation; values and meaning orientation; holistic orientation).Each type of situation corresponds with its own basic psychological mechanisms of personality development. It is argued that the major psychological mechanisms of each of the four types of personality development situations are interrelated following the principle of complementing outer activity of the student with inner activity.
