Тривилизация образования как модель социальной динамики в современных информационных условиях

Abstract

Philosophical consideration of social dynamics is presented in the article. Transformation of education serves as a basis for investigation of social dynamics. Evolution of educational (curriculum) ideologies, which reflect the understanding of what education is for, along with information technologies development are presented as the necessary and sufficient conditions of learning models transformation. Undertaken analysis of ideas, concepts disseminated by the considered educational ideologies, including the learner centered ideology, reveals the so called trivialization of education. Proclaimed humanitarian orientation to a learner with its ideas of freedom, equality, respect to individuality has led to the massification of educational services based on the principles of simplification, fragmentation of the learning process as a whole. Education as a process tends to be replaced with the state of accomplishment, being graduated, certificated, seemingly prepared for professional activities. Such an education is characterized with the unexamining, frivolous approach to the sources of information. Information technologies opening free access to “knowledge” in the conditions of weakening of demand for the substantive, nontrivial educational services creates opportunities for what we call trivialization of education. To overcome the observed inertness, lack of strive for education the renewed concept of united conscious and praxis is found to be important.
