Abstract
The article deals with the content-related components and the objectives of the professional education in modern Russia. The author claims that the activities of educational institutions should be oriented to the formation of “homo creator” in the era of post-industrial modernization. It is argued that for this purpose in the Federal State Educational Standards there should be consolidated the disciplines of the basic part of all educational cycles, increased the number of the academic subjects of the variable part (mainly the “courses by choice”) and strengthened the research component of the curriculum. The author emphasizes that homo creator is not the “all-round developed person”, but it is the person whose constitutive feature is the personal independence.
