Qualitative Changes

в статье рассматриваются вопросы качественных изменений, происходящих в современном обществе. Генерируют данные изменения шестая научно-техническая революция и переход от техногенного общества к информационному. Автор подчеркивает необходимость формирования нового мировоззрения, которое даст возможность осуществить данное изменение не революционным, а эволюционным путем. Особое внимание уделяется системе образования, служащей основой поступательного движения общества в данных преобразованиях. Отмечается необходимость смещения акцента с технических изменений, происходящих в обществе, на человека, его развитие, воспитание и образование. Драйвером этих процессов может выступить экофилософия как мировоззренческий аспект происходящих в обществе преобразований. Именно эколософия может являться тем каркасом, который через мировоззрение свяжет природную и культурною системы в единое целое. the article deals with the issues of qualitative changes taking place in modern society. The generator of these changes is the sixth scientific and technical revolution and the transition from a man-made society to an information society. The author emphasizes the need to form a new worldview, which will make it possible to implement this change not in a revolutionary, but in an evolutionary way. Special attention is paid to the education system, which is the basis for the progressive movement of society in these transformations. There is a need to shift the focus from technical changes taking place in society to the human being, his development, upbringing, and education. According to the author, the driver of these processes can be ecophilosophy as a worldview aspect of the transformations taking place in society. Ecophilosophy can be the framework that connects the natural and cultural systems into a single whole through the worldview.

Meaningful Existence

The study of education systems as social phenomena has led scholars to question the role of education in modern society. The question of how to improve education naturally leads to concerns about what is wrong with the present education system. If education is meant to elevate the next generation, how can it meet the goal of ensuring a meaningful existence for those being educated? Scholars have demonstrated that education has been reduced to a process of the construction of objects, where curriculum as techne commodifies students into products with market value. We propose that the tendency of interpreting techne as technology is a perspective of the modern age, and the rules of modern education are based on the rules of modern technology, under the guidance of the paradigm of productivity. We will introduce a broader interpretation of techne which frames it as the cultivation of virtue, i.e., virtue-techne. On this basis, education could be viewed as techne in the sense of praxis (practice, exercise), rather than as fabrication in the sense of production. We highlight the rising rate of student suicides in Taiwan in recent years, where we determine the education system lacks a focus on praxis. This article investigates alternative praxis-oriented notions of education, from Aristotle's cultivation of virtue to Hadot's "spiritual exercises," to advocate for a shift away from the production paradigm. Indebted to Heidegger, we clarify his "techne as revealing" by emphasizing two frameworks for education: The first, modern education being valued by its adherence to metrics based in the paradigm of production. The second, education as a process wherein its value is derived from the life context of the participating individual. Finally, as a comparative study, we explore the current state of education in Russia and Taiwan, and present the case of one high school in Taiwan which has adopted the practice of spiritual exercises in its curriculum, including a required hike to the peak of Taiwan's tallest mountain, to cultivate a sense of (and value for) the liberated life before its students graduate.

The article raises the question of changes affecting the modern education system in the context of the extensive sociocultural transformations that have occurred in recent decades. The main emphasis in considering the changing conditions for the implementation of educational activities is associated with the study of the development processes of the information society. The theoretical premise of the study is the idea of changing the functional balance of the educational sphere, associated with the need for its conformity with modern social challenges. In particular, the article analyzes the relationship between education and training in educational activities. The study also poses the problem of dynamic discrepancies between transformation processes in society and in the educational sphere. The essence of this discrepancy is that the achievements of science and culture with a significant delay become the property of educational activity, and the structure of higher educational institutions often does not meet the need for training specialists in a number of innovative areas. On this background, specialized courses and various network resources, focused on filling the “gaps” of the centralized education system, are becoming relevant. At the end of the article, a conclusion is drawn regarding the main trends in the transformation of education in modern society.

The Relationship

The article considers the main stages of the education system development, revealing the presence of an ecological component in it, reveals the relationship between environmental culture and environmental education. It is established that the education system still does not include as particularly important goals of personal knowledge and skills that shape its environmental culture, although the role of the latter in the formation of the value system of modern society is becoming increasingly important. The key to the formation of ecological culture is the education system, which, accumulating the achievements of science and practice, is able to change the way of life, human activity and society as a whole in accordance with the changes taking place in the biosphere. The effect of advancement in environmental education includes a number of basic characteristics, the implementation of which will result in an increase in the overall level of environmental culture. Environmental education is initiated by UNESCO (“Planet Survival Program”), the process of “landscaping” receives a theoretical basis and implementation in pedagogical practice, the credo of which is “to prepare people for dialogue with nature”. The public, concerned about the weakening of public attention to environmental education, is taking steps to change the situation to strengthen general environmental training in secondary and higher education, as an integral part of raising the level of environmental culture of the younger generation. It is proved that the family is the main center of society, the ecological component of which can be realized as parents, other family members are open to environmental problems. Preschools are designed to continue to perform the same function. With a favorable course of the process up to 5‒6 years, children form an idea of the relationship of natural phenomena with human activities. Underestimation of the role of this stage of the educational process distorts the perception of environmental problems in the future. New opportunities are concluded in the next stage of environmental education ‒ school and university. This is the main unit of the environmental education system.

To identify and characterize the role of transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary dialogue in modern information society. Theoretical basis of the study is presented by works on essence and development of post-classical information society. A separate block is represented by works on knowledge and science, which are changing in modern societies under the influence of informatization and globalization. Theoretical basis of the study is grounded on ideas about transdisciplinarity, transdisciplinary field of research as a field of dialogue between different sciences and paradigms. Scientific novelty. It is hypothesized that transdisciplinary dialogue is one of the basic principles of modern information society formation, in this double principle of dialogization is implemented - both plurization, dialogization of truth in science and philosophy is performed, and another process - science and transdisciplinary research contribute to the development of new information technologies, mediation and democratization of society, where information society acts as a main customer and consumer of transdisciplinary knowledge, adapting it to new needs of media culture and digitalization. The role of transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue in modern society is shown, as well as the understanding of this dialogue from the point of view of philosophy and the humanities. The need for democratization and harmonization of knowledge is proved, it is shown that with the spreading of interactive dialogue democratic institutions penetrate into information structures, thus providing an opportunity to talk about the plurality of truth and complementarity of different ways of cognition. It is revealed that transdisciplinarity is provided by special procedures of dialogue and scientific research, including reflection and transflection, fractality, «included» view, intersectoral expertise, including environmental parameters. Thanks to dialogue, knowledge is centered around man and civil society, a combination of anthropological, socio-philosophical, physical-mathematical and ecological-biological paradigms. It is stated that the development of transdisciplinary and scientific dialogue leads to overcoming the boundaries between humanitarian and natural approaches to reality, the universalization of science as a way of cognition.

Since the 1960s, a turning point for civilization related to the increasing role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in creating the modern society can be observed. The sustainable information society (SIS) entails a new phase of information society development, in which the ICT adoption by the society stakeholders is the key enabler of sustainability. One of the most important issues in the debate about the SIS is the means to measure it. In this paper, a methodological framework for creating SIS evaluation indexes is presented. In practical terms, an exemplary adjustable index for evaluating SIS in households is created based on the presented approach. During the empirical research, the presented index is used to evaluate SIS in Polish households. The study showed the usefulness of the proposed approach and confirmed the fact that it can be used to build other SIS indices.

The research is devoted to the study of the topic of networkization of the socio-political space that is relevant in the context of the informatization of modern society. The author analyzes one of the displays of modern politics networkization in the paper. Its demonstration is associated with the growing social and political role of territorial Internet communities. The functioning of one of the Nizhny Novgorod Internet communities is studied as an example. The theoretical basis of the study is the theory of the information society and several concepts: the concept of the network community and the concept of the network identity. The paper uses content-analysis and comparative analysis as the applied analysis methods. The results of the study do not confirm the assumption that network communities' functioning contributes to an increased degree of civic engagement. However, the analysis confirms another assumption that public and political communication using the Internet community increases the efficiency of interaction between government and society, as it helps to improve the quality of feedback from the authorities. The author supposes that the display of the network identity factor affects the change in the degree of citizens' involvement in interaction with the authorities.

UNESCO has identified various tensions and crisis of modern society and suggested 4 pillars to be constructed for strengthening the education system. These pillars are: “Learning to Know, Learning to Do, Learning to live together and Learning to be.”The importance of education has been realized by everyone and by every nation. It is quite evident that the strength of the country depends on the strength of education, which in turn depends on the strength efficiency of teachers and the process of teaching. According to Tagore, “The widest road leading to the solution of all our problems is education.” Intelligence is one of the main characteristics that results in individual differences among peoples. This has been attended by humans from many years ago (Bakhtiarpor, 2009). Although study about intelligence has focused on its cognitive aspects such as memory, problem-solving, emotional, social, and spiritual ability have been attended by authors. The role of intelligence tests in predicting academic performance that the effective psychosocial and mental sources has an important role in predicting academic achievement especially in the higher academic levels (Furnham, Chamorro, and Premuzic, 2004).

Abstract Qualitative changes in social life affect accumulating young people’s knowledge as a basis of human capital. The article aims to explore the role of education in human capital development due to ongoing changes in modern society. The study is based on the theory of human capital explaining an economic approach to human behaviour, which highlights effects of investing in human capital on the country’s socioeconomic development. Schultz’s theoretical framework foregrounds the role of education in realising human capital and the relevant research methods such as content analysis and textual narrative synthesis. The main findings embrace opinions of philosophers from different epochs, ideas on knowledge of society in the XXI century, and the role of education described as the basis of the young population ready for socioeconomic development. The results prove the hypothesis relative to exploring the impact of education and training on the youth’s human capital.
