The article is devoted to the study of the leading trends in the educational space, caused by its digitalization. The latest information technologies, according to the author, are simultaneously the cause and effect of sociocultural transformations, which largely affect education as a social institution. The author focuses on changing the role of learning individuals in the educational process on the way to obtaining relevant information. Special attention is paid to the principles of differentiation of information and knowledge, taking into account the specifics of the educational process. As a leading factor in the choice of a cognitive algorithm by an individual in the educational process, the author introduces an axiological factor. The article emphasizes that the pursuit of operational information poses a particular danger at the level of the educational process, since sometimes false worldviews can be built. A distinctive feature of the article is the author's attempt to prove the illegitimacy of the thesis on information as a converted form of knowledge, which implies identifying knowledge with the concept content. The attempts of logical positivists (neo-positivists) to create a single universal scientific language are of fundamental importance in this regard. Despite the failure to solve this global problem, neo-positivists prepared the ground for studying the particularities of the cognitive process as dialectics of the form and content, represented as the sequence: information - knowledge - information - knowledge, etc. The author also emphasizes the difference between humanitarian and scientific knowledge, which arises from the various narrative of learning individuals regarding information resources of a particular cognitive subject. The article focuses on the fact that the knowledge holder and its consumer form one whole system of person-to-person educational interaction, always creating an individual pair passing a unique and special way. These trends are considered by the author with due regard to the traditions of the national educational system, on the one hand, and social philosophy, on the other. The formation of a relationship system in the environment of new participants in the modern education contexts requires historical and philosophical substantiation of the very essence of the person-to-person educational interaction.
