- Abstract
COVID-19 and related quarantine measures have become a test of the strength of many social systems: first of all, the political, the economic, as well as the educational. Comparing the concepts of teaching and education of authoritative American (Veblen, Dewey) and German scientists (V. Von Humboldt, Jaspers, Luhmann), the authors of the article come to the conclusion that in the conditions of quarantine, firstly, the immanent conflict between education as a self-referential system and education as an externally referential system clearly manifested itself. The latter is designed to meet the needs of economics, politics, ideology, and not education in its independent social-and-cultural dimension. Secondly, the remote educational technologies are suboptimal, both for the self-referential and for the externally referential format of the education system. Third, the hybrid (part-time) learning format completely disorganizes the learning process, increases the counterproductive self-exploitation of teachers and increases the stress load on students.
