Prospects of higher education for sustainable development of the society

 

Technical and economic evolution of the society in which economic activity is focused on the prevalence of "production for production's sake" leads to negative consequences of scientific and technical progress, including finite resources, environmental issues, demographics, "information explosion", financial security, anti-technological, military, natural disasters and so on. Identified problems identified priority of the state to stabilize the economic growth and the development of social and economic policies in order to achieve sustainable socio-economic development of society.

Under the sustainable socio-economic development is understood as the balance of external and internal factors of the national economy, providing a positive trend change its parameters without jumps and failures together with the identification and prevention of the negative effects of economic activity in the future. Among the factors of sustainable economic development, competitiveness and quality of isolated human resources are inextricably linked with technology, information, financial and others. Resources that provide overall improvement of the environment, improving the quality and life expectancy.

One way to accomplish the task - to develop a strategy of rational use of human resources with an emphasis on staff development, career planning and business activities of employees. Considering the higher vocational education, as a public institution in the plane to overcome the negative effects of human economic activity in the future, the educational policy of the state aims to increase its competitiveness, its sustainable socio-economic development. In connection with what is so urgent task of formation of professional competence of university students in the process of higher education, which is reflected in the federal state educational standards of higher education. In these circumstances, the educational system of universities is seen as a source of intellectual capital and innovation in technology upgrades, as a source of formation of personnel reserve for sustainable socio-economic development of the country.

In today's society is widely known, became anecdotal phrase:

- to include in the process of higher education students, "Now remember what they taught you in school ...";

- for graduates includes professional activities "Now forget what you taught at the institute ....".

However, in higher education institutions take on the learning outcomes of the previous level of education, and to work without a diploma did not accept. This allows us to conclude translates modern education plays an important role in modern society. Education in schools is one of the foundations on which to base subsequent human activities requiring further continuing education, professional training, and training. Of course, learning life as a natural process plays an essential role. In this case, the formation of personality as a natural evolutionary process and information is due to adaptation to life and everything in it is happening. According to I.V. Ilyin and A.D. Ursul this model of unsustainable development, forming the "lagging" life consciousness, her momentary display [2, 6].

According to A. D. Ursul educational process, whose motto is "Survival through education" refers not only to the individual, but also the whole of humanity as a whole [2]. The way this innovative educational process associated with overcoming internal contradictions interrelated:

- Education - inertial, conservative system in which the transmitted "obsolete, outdated methods established knowledge";

- The education system is in crisis and no longer meets the needs of modern life and basically simulates a significantly deformed as past of our civilization and science. [2,3,4].

Understanding the impact of these new conditions socio-cultural reality resulting from the technical and economic evolution of society, can not use the exhaust earlier approaches and requires a fundamentally new and innovative leading solutions in the education. An education consistent with the process of evolution and survival of humanity is called advancing.

Theoretical background of advanced training are presented in the works of Vygotsky and other scientists involved in developing training (P. Y. Galperin, V. V. Davydov, A. Disterverg, L.V. Zankov, A. N. Leontiev, N. A. Menchinskaya, I. H. Pestalozzi, S. L. Rubinstein, K. D. Ushinskii, D. B. Elkonin).

"Education is only good when it is the creator of development. It encourages and brings to life a variety of functions, which are in the stage of maturity and are in the "zone of proximal development". Training should run ahead of development, accelerate and cause tumors"(L. S. Vygotsky)  [1].

Education is called a leading, if:

1) advancing acts systemically property pedagogical system and defines the requirements for all of its components;

2) the content of education is based on the anticipation of future requirements for the person as a subject of social activity, contributing to the disclosure of the student's cognitive activity, enabling effective self-education, formation of individual converting intelligence as the ability to compromise multiple criteria in assessing the consequences of decisions;

3) educational technology actualize the potential of the individual as an individual human essence in the process of constructive activity in the emerging problem situations that require the transfer of methods and activities to new conditions in the actual process of scientific knowledge;

4) the impact of education is determined by:

a) the formation of free and responsible individual, combining professional competence to civil liability, having humanistic worldview and moral consciousness;

b) the development of intelligence of the person, manifested:

- in clear and concise terms, which operates a man;

- awareness of the connections between objects and phenomena;

- the ability to establish causal relationships between phenomena;

- the ability to anticipate events by analyzing trends in cash, which determines the possibility of predicting the future, and thus extends the sphere of human activity;

- the ability to find new ways to solve problems in the presence of well-known.

Analysis of scientific literature, research Institute of Human Rights and other work allowed us to determine the essence of advanced education the following provisions:

- advanced education is designed to carry not only the traditional social function of knowledge, experience and culture from past to future generations, but also the function of preparing the person to advancing action on the survival of civilization in the global crisis and the transition to sustainable development [5];

- overcoming conservative translation mechanisms obsolete knowledge and culture, advanced education puts emphasis on the problems associated with the strategy of sustainable development and will be the basic mechanism for solving global problems [4, 5];

- advanced education as prognostic allow a certain extent predict the future, to take forward-looking action to resolve the crisis, which requires the formation of a collective integrated intelligence, acting as lead and vision of social life, manage preventive action of the international community (which is why it is often called the noosphere formation ) [7];

- advanced education should be developed at a faster rate compared to others, especially the material kinds of social activities, and be guided by the enduring fundamental values ​​and objectives, on the coming culture conducive to the survival of civilization [7];

- advanced education involves consideration of the subject of the educational process, not only in this "here and now", but as a subject able to take responsibility for the future is not yet known threats and challenges, as the subject is able to develop this condition, its features during the development of new ways to work in the conditions its increasing complexity and updates.

Thus determined advancing higher professional education requires a specification and substantiation of principles of construction of educational content and the choice of educational technologies, ensuring the development of personal and intellectual capacities of the subject of the educational process.
