Abstract

The article considers modern transformations of education in the digital age. The main purpose of the article is to provide a critical analysis of the approach based on the formal dominance of competencies. The authors offer a historical perspective and reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the paideia model, which combines education, training and culture. Attention is given to the priorities of personal knowledge. Modern transformations of education are analyzed with reliance on the principles of exteriorization and internalization, the principle of development and the activity approach. The focus of attention is shifted to the semantic aspect of transformations in educational practices. With due regard to the collaboration between social and humanitarian disciplines, the article reveals certain drawbacks of the contemporary education system in the digital age. It is also emphasized that in the light of the growing dependence of modern society on the Internet, importance should be assigned to information ethics. As a result, the author comes to a conclusion that the process of combining basic "digital skills" with creative search and critical thinking should be guided by the meanings and principles of humanism.
