In the conditions of informatization of society caused by the formation of a new type of educational interaction and based on the information culture of the personality, the change of value-related educational priorities, the methods of pedagogical influence on the younger generation, there take place ontological transformations and important changes in the intellectual, spiritual and psychological life of the individual. The sphere of education is inseparable from the social processes and tendencies of their development. The modern school should actively master new information resources. In this connection, the article discusses the following questions: is informatization of social space and education able to become an instrument for human development, ensure comprehensive communication, and not just primitive information exchange, and also contribute to the spiritual development of the individual, his/her intellect and psyche? Is it possible to implement traditional pedagogical influences in the conditions of computerization of various spheres of human activity? These and other issues are traditionally considered by the philosophy of education, which identifies the positive aspects of these processes - diversification and competence that can rely on the reproduction of «collective memory», the ability to link in education the formation of personality with a number of basic social values, such as team, life, health, benefit, etc. In the conditions of dominance of informatization of society and education, the authors attach great importance to the new pedagogical technologies (cyber-pedagogy, methodologies of information cognition, virtual museums, technologies of forming consciousness, information product creation and others.). Particular attention is paid to the concepts of «didactic process», «motivation of learning», «process of independent learning activity», etc.
