EDUCATION OF THE FUTURE: AN ANALYSIS OF DEFINITIONS (LITERARY REVIEW)

The education of the future requires new approaches to the implementation of the target principles of this sphere of social activity. The reason for the transformation of educational principles and ideas is a cardinal change in the format of educational space associated with the active introduction of globalization factors and elements of information and digital technologies. The purpose of scientific exploration is to systematize the definitions of future education in the context of the content and format of educational activity. The objectives of the article are to identify the main priorities for the development of education in the short and long term. Methodology, which is able to ensure the implementation of goals and objectives of scientific research, is based on general scientific (analysis, forecasting, systematization), philosophical-scientific (synergetic), and prospective scientific and pedagogical (developmental pedagogy, digital pedagogy, pedagogical modeling) elements. A promising direction of research is structuring the definitions of future education in accordance with the actualization of certain clusters of the educational activity (socialization, digitalization, humanization). So, 4 clusters of definitions of future education perspectives are proposed: existential educational dimension, long-term educational strategies, short-term educational planning, futuristic projects in the educational space. The fundamental principle of planning of prospective models of education development will be the concept of education quality, which will include aspects of the purpose of education as a socio-cultural phenomenon and elements of the format of educational space.
