TASKS OF MODERN EDUCATION IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT TRENDS

A successful example of the integration of modern science into the educational process is the activity of the Club of Rome, the materials of each report of which become an important component of the educational “product” of many higher educational institutions, and especially those which are providing adult education. The perception of the ideas of the Club depended largely on their inclusion in the agenda – political, economic, cultural etc. The quality of such perception depends on the level of competence of those who perceive and on whether they evaluate the forecasts of the Club only as information, or take them as a value. The value perception of predictions of social development enables them to form principles of personal behavior and methodology for the perception and transformation of the social and natural environment. The combination of information and value influence on the individual can be done in different ways, but one of the most effective is the educational means of influence. Indirectly the participants in the activities of the Roman Club have become more than one generation of globalized humanity – since 1968, one can count the life of the third generation.
