METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN THE STUDY OF THE SOCIO-CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION OF MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

The article considers features of the main methodological approaches used in the study of socio-cultural transformations of modern educational institutions: schools, colleges, universities. Three positions of reflection of interrelation of socio-cultural approach in pedagogical science are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the general scientific system approach, which is inextricably linked with other approaches and, in particular, with the cultural and educational approach as its integral part. The article presents the idea that the study of socio-cultural transformations requires the definition of the logic of research, which is determined by the chosen methodological approach. The most deeply socio-cultural transformations are studied by the cultural and educational approach, which is based on modern paradigms of education development.
