Abstract

The article is devoted to a critical examination of modern transformations in the educational process. The author seeks to substantiate the philosophical meaning of modern transformations. The article draws attention to four main aspects. First, the article reveals the shortcomings of the modern educational model based on competencies, which, having a formal character, control the free manifestation of personality. Secondly, the advantages of "paideia", which unites education, training and culture, are shown. Attention is drawn to the meaning and potential of the model of personal knowledge. Thirdly, the article describes a wide range of basic methodological approaches. The focus of attention is shifted to heuristic methods and cognitive practices that are related to motivation and a value-oriented approach. Fourth, the negative effects of the info-centric world are critically analyzed. The author shows the deformations of the cognitive structure of thinking, which arise in the conditions of the infocentric world. The conclusion in the article is that the philosophical meaning of the transformations of the educational process is based on philosophical wisdom and the ideals of genuine humanity. In this connection, the article highlights the significance and role of the socio-humanitarian examination.
