Abstract
The paper describes the problem of transformation of the institution of education which experiences a transition process from the standardized to the open educational space. Some new aspects of this transformation have been distinguished, which are connected with modification of the socio-cultural context of the modern society and are conditioned by the intensification of information-related transformations and the change of the role of knowledge. In the paper a definition of the notion of knowledge is given; the problem of a creative subject is outlined as an answer to the challenge faced by modern civilization conditioned by the increase of demand in the knowledge growth 'from inside' rather than its introduction 'from outside'. It is shown that the content of the modern institution of education is being evolved from the model objectively created for the object of teaching to a model of the subject's 'lively' knowledge of educational experience.
