The Methods of Cognitonics as the Basis for Designing Intelligent Tutoring Systems Developing Emotional Intelligence of the Learners
The constructive core of cognitonics, or the science about the human being in the digital world, includes the system of the methods of emotional-imaginative teaching (the EIT-system). This system is aimed at systematic development of emotional intelligence (personal competence and social competence), reasoning skills, sound creativity, language skills, and communication culture at the lessons of language (mother tongue and second language), literature and poetry in two languages (on the example of Russian and English), symbolic languages of painting, sculpture, garden-park art, classic dance. The goal of this paper is revealing to the designers of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) the broad prospects of constructing a new generation of ITSs opened by the EIT-system. The principal peculiarities of the discussed new generation of ITSs are to be: (a) taking into account emotional intelligence of children as the basis for designing ITSs; (b) as a consequence, making much easier for children and adolescents the grasping of the pieces of theoretical materials to be learned; (c) for the majority of the systems belonging to this new class, contributing to early socialization of children.
