Abstract
The article examines the impact of modern civilizational processes on the formation of educational paradigm. In modern conditions of globalization and standardization of social production, there arises a contradiction in the structure of the education system, society and culture. There are created and disseminated the so-called universal values. Through the transmission of a new axiological system, there is formed a new generation which has no unity with the specific historical and cultural space. The negative role of unification is indicated, because of which the need for unity of different national cultures in their diversity is negated. The author defines the role of holistic humanitarian education, built in accordance with the national cultural characteristics. This system makes it possible to carry out spiritual production in society in relation to the specific historical conditions that generates an adequate value system. The man-creating essence of the education system is emphasized, rather than its task of forming future professionals for the process of material production. The classical education system has its roots in the structure of spiritual education, and has been formed for a long time under the influence of philosophical systems. In the period of rapid development of natural sciences, the criterion of truth started to be based on rational-logical and consistent forms of thinking, which is also a result of influence of the civilizational processes of social being. Dialectical thinking, where contradiction is a starting point of knowledge, allows revealing all the potentialities of the younger generation which are in the richness of a particular culture. The excessive aspiration to the abstract in the education system does not allow connecting a large amount of information with the surrounding reality, seeing the unity of various processes of life. The article also focuses on the dialectical unity of the individual and «symphonic» personality, specifies the dialectical relationship between the individual and the collective, determines an inextricable link between the individual personality and the specific historical form of social community. They dialectically interpenetrate and condition each other. Formation of personality affects the entire community, and vice versa. Construction of a particular education system should be based on concrete historical forms of culture and spirituality. This will allow the younger generation absorbing all the wealth of the world culture without tearing the roots to the national culture. The article examines the impact of global civilizational processes on the formation of educational paradigm. The crisis of culture and society as a whole is indicted due to inclusion of economic interests into all spheres, including education.
