THE USE OF MODERN TOOLS OF RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW RESEARCH AREAS IN EDUCATION

The contemporary reality is dominated by the processes of globalization including in particular the clear separation of time from space, creation of abstract systems and reflectivity. In practice, this means that it is possible to coordinate some social activities without taking into account the specific local. Certain behaviors and attitudes are becoming global significance, so the lack of participation in the transformation of the modern reality is impossible. Abstract systems consisting of symbolic and expert systems also have an impact on our daily lives, in view of the trust mechanism as the basis for their operation. Due to rapid flow of information accurate understanding of each area of knowledge is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore trust in expert systems is necessary for normal functioning in the contemporary reality. However, improved access to knowledge runs the reflectivity, that is a change in attitudes and behavior due to the acquired knowledge or experience. The knowledge is an integral part of modernity as well as a source of existential anxiety of ordinary people. The above reasoning provides a context for reflection on the number and quality of scientific research today. Dynamic nature of the era of late modernity indicates the need for continuing research on the changing reality of the social, economic, ecological, etc. High level of expectations in speed knowledge creation is not always for the benefit of the quality of research proposals. An increasing number of research makes their performance is getting smaller, because people know how to answer the questions and how to behave in their course. Therefore, it is necessary to search for modern tools of research and analysis that will be able to provide more accurate and reliable empirical data. The use of modern tools of research and analysis such as DVR retina or ratio analysis software, etc. allows to identify new research areas, including in education. The analysis of children's drawings can bring unexpected results for key information on their further development within the school system.
