Pedagogical Paradigms Of Modern Education System

The methodological grounds for studying education as an element of social and cultural reproduction are revealed. Theoretically, the tools for managing the paradigmatic specifics of the development of education are substantiated. Over the past decades, the pedagogical component in managing education has been completely replaced by the managerial one. That led to the emergence of the following contradictions: contradictions between the needs of the world community in elaborating programs for the development of national education systems adequate to the social and cultural processes of reproduction of social relations and the applied limitations of the educational policies of states; contradictions between the need to develop a new methodology for studying education and underestimating its importance as a factor of social and cultural reproduction; contradictions between the need to manage the paradigmatic specifics of the development of education and the lack of theoretically grounded tools. Globalization has failed to understand the idea of spiritual and cultural unity (which is clearly demonstrated by the problems of refugees in modern Europe) and has not proposed any principles, grounds, or ideology of "universal" values, which would be based not on a humanitarian, but on a natural scientific justification of humanism (unity of species survival). Humanitarian knowledge today is interesting and, perhaps, necessary only for the development of specific personality at the level of its self-fulfilment. No other structures and social institutions are interested in it anymore. However, such picture of reality contradicts the goals facing the future.
