Abstract

The article studies the changes in the education ecosystem in the context of the increasing turbulence of society. The continuous and often aggressive nature of these changes requires appropriate philosophical reflection to prevent various deformations, including in the educational system. The problems of changes occurring under the influence of COVID-19 in education as a specific problem of the article, the authors are supposed to consider the standpoint of functional, structural, and interdisciplinary approaches. Contradictions in the development of the educational system are initiated by many factors. Today it is a pandemic, something different. The authors believe, that the determining factor for the increase in turbulence is the uncertainty of state policy in the formation of ecosystems of learning and education. The pronounced consequences of this are the fictitiousness of education and a decrease in the quality of human capital. These consequences have been further exacerbated in the context of the pandemic, the forced transition to distance education, and the accelerated digitalization of educational interactions. The authors consider these phenomena as aggressive enables of social turbulence. The quality of learning and education ecosystems turned out to be not quite sufficient to quickly overcome the current challenges; this led to multiple organizational and psychological stresses; this pushed society towards new foundations for optimizing educational interactions; human capital (students, schoolchildren, teachers, family) are forced to solve the problems themselves. Before the state solved it. Problems arose that had not yet been subjected to psychological, philosophical, and pedagogical reflection.
