DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF COMICS

In the article, the author analyzes the conditions for
a subject’s existence in the post-informational society, which lead to forming a new style of thinking
in the younger generation, functioning outside the
textocentric paradigm. The author raises the actual
problem of the education system, since it is impossible to build a successful learning process without
meeting the demands of the time, without taking
into account the peculiarities of perceiving the
world by modern people. In the youth environment,
the screen (clip) style of thinking has long prevailed,
which in the process of cognition is based on visual
images. In the course of the study, the author
comes to the conclusion that, responding to the
new style of thinking, it is necessary to strive for
a combination of methods of working with linear
text and visual sources of information, to which a
modern person is so receptive. This harmonious
combination is provided by a comic strip with rich
didactic potential. The article describes the positive
aspects of using comics in the educational process
and examines an example of using comics in philosophy classes.
