Abstract

The study deals with educational activity as the basis for solving the problems of contemporary education in the context of globalisation. Our research methodology is a social and philosophical analysis of educational activity problems. We attract attention to the existing contradictions between rationality and morality, virtuality and reality, transnational globalism and national cultures, all of which lead to conflicts and crises. Changes in the specifics of social development requires actualising the consolidating function of educational activity, fighting the dominance of mass culture, the reasons behind terrorism, environmental disasters and other global problems. We specify those properties of educational activity that ensure optimum interaction of all components of social development and stability of the social and natural system consisting of educational activity, the individual and social being. We validate the necessity of transforming educational activity into any other activity that deals with transferring knowledge and forming specific skills and abilities and transforms a standard type of activity into an individual activity style that consolidates the society. Transformation of educational activity into economic, political, environmental, scientific and other types of activity consolidates the society in the context of globalisation and ensures stable development on the global scale.
