Abstract
The epistemological basis of modern education is based on an open and developing world map that matches the innovative character of the present-day society. This approach is incommensurate with the classical pedagogical theory that handles classroom knowledge in the form of textbooks listing scientific facts. The paper is aimed at describing a set of pedagogic ideas from the leading edge of the cognitive interest of the knowledge society. The author formulates the notion of generative didactics, revealed through the concepts of "cognitive flexibility", "cognitive generacy" and "socio-cultural interaction" within the educational process.
