Abstract

The article considers the key characteristics of future education, defined by the digital era. The author reviews the prospects for education and justifies the need for a new type of subjectivity corresponding to the requirements of the sixth technological wave. The main aim is to identify characteristics and values of foresight education. The article dwells on four aspects of the issue. Firstly, the author analyses the problem of the "rented knowledge", generated by the dominance of digital skills. Secondly, the dilemma of "living" education vs. "digital" education is considered with due regard to a "new social network". Thirdly, value priorities of modern educational strategies are revealed. Fourthly, the author justifies the importance of wisdom as the fundamental principle of transformations in education. The methodological base of the study involves the dialectic method, the categories of content and form, the principle of realism and the systemic approach. The article claims that there exists an intermediate educational model – "rented knowledge", with digital skills being its resource. The modern education strategy is based on a mixture of traditional educational practices and mass online education. The strategy of future education involves adopting a new type of subjectivity within which humanitarian priorities of education are complemented by digital skills. The formation of genuinely human value orientations is connected with the concept of wisdom indicating a state when theoretical awareness and moral maturity are translated into practical application. The higher the potential of wisdom, the greater its influence on educational landscape with a focus on universal human values.
