Социокультурная трансформация современного отечественного образования

Abstract

The article is devoted to the current problem of sociocultural transformation of modern domestic education. Based on an analysis of reality, its aggressive social agenda, the tendency towards the dominance of irrational thinking against the backdrop of a decrease in critical perception and internality, the author confirmed the idea accepted in the scientific community about the transition of society into a certain phase of an unstable state. Previously projected system characteristics of the global society demonstrate failure, axiological assessment of Western civilization as universal has exhausted itself, humanity is on a civilizational turn. Faced with the prob-lem of conceptual cultural nihilism, Russia is once again rethinking its own civilizational path of development, searching for meanings, correlating traditions and innovations. The primary role in this process is assigned to the phenomenon of education as an imperative of spiritual formation of society. Based on a comparative anal-ysis of the Soviet and post-Soviet education systems, the article concludes that the latter, which represents a permanent process of change, not only did not resolve the contradictions of the Soviet socially oriented model of education, but even more served to artificially separate the meaning of education from the idea of develop-ment our civilization. Considering reform as a semantic construct, including analysis of the existing situation, clear goals and objectives, measures adequate to the situation and the system of results assessment correlat-ing with them, the author summarizes that the socio-cultural transformation of modern domestic education should be associated with the traditions of Russian society, and the leading problematic of its concept should be anthropological – as posing the question of the formed person.
