Cognitive Analysis in the Context of Media Education: An Oriented Graph Modeling Approach

Cognitive analytics could initiate development processes in media culture and media education in Russia. Cognitive analytic models in the context of media education appear to be organizational schemass for managing people’s cognitive activity. They are an abstract model of search, receiving and processing of media-information. Cognitive models form an image of cognition process thus allowing to visually explain a comprehend structure of interactions and interlinks. Theories of cognitive development by Piaget and cognitive perception form theoretical framework of the given research. In order to formalize structures of cognition, a method of oriented graph is adopted. Learning model based on double loop by Argyris and Schoen forms the basis of analytical research. We consider to what extent it is applicable to the analysis of cultural dialogue and media education theory as a trigger for developing critical thinking. We suggest and study cognitive models of media education with the growth accelerators. We outline solutions for increasing the media education efficiency and highlight that cognitive analytics applications are not limited to revealing critical aspects of media education only. Instead, it contributes to widening common view of management strategy. Cognitive models thus can potentially replace conceptual and instrumental means of group interaction and active opinion exchange for elaborating consolidative positions.
