Prokopenko A. Education as a Factor of Social Changes (Methodological perspective)

The thesis is dedicated to the methodological research of education as a factor of social changes. It is analysed the forms of social influence of education: as a part, as a factor and as a result of social changes. On the basis of analyse of the prevailing methodogical aproaches to the research of the social changes, on the one side, and education as a integrative social system, on the other side, it is proposed to take the philisophy of pragmatism as a mean for the proper study of the social changes as well as education. It is proposed the term division between factor objectivism and factor subjectivism, as a concrete definition of difference between institutional paradigm of education and personality-oriented paradigm of education.
