Summary
The key approach to teaching in the modern education is the teaching process as a systematically arranged teacher-student interaction aiming at solving and revealing educational and development tasks. Modern school should equip the growing generation with the basic means of socialization (Khoraskina, 2010). The up-to-date content of education at all stages including higher education is developing together with the world trends in informational, tolerant and civil society and demands of making up a free and harmonious personality. In the post-industrial society education ceased to be a way of acquiring generally recognized and ready knowledge. The perfection of education consists in rethinking the scientific knowledge and solving a number of problems including mistakes and delusions. Revealing the truth of knowledge is up to a student. The majority of pedagogical theories of the past century and educational practices were guided by the idea of achieving some definite educational standards
