Abstract
Scientific and technical progress, besides its positive role in the development of mankind, is accompanied by a number of negative side effects. Among them are the excessive technocratization of modern life; deepening world-outlook crisis; the loss of a number of humanistic orientations; the loss of understanding that it is the human being, his/her personality and welfare that should be the main goal of social development. The corresponding deformations are observed in all spheres of public life, including education; this is a destabilizing factor in the development of the society. The necessity is substantiated of humanization of science education for improving the educational space of Russia, eliminating the negative effects associated with scientific and technological progress. The author distinguishes and specifies possible directions of humanization of education, using the example of the physics course in the higher education institutions.
