MODERN EDUCATION AS A WAY OF CREATING COLLECTIVE THINKING
The article deals with the concept of collective thinking. Despite the known advantages and inevitability of its formation in any educational system, the authors pay attention to the negative aspects of this phenomenon. Modernization of Russian education as one of the priorities sees the formation of not just a specialist with the necessary knowledge and skills, but also a creative person capable of continuous professional development and personal self-improvement. However, many innovations aimed at the formation of a creative personality, as a result lead to the opposite results. The introduction of new forms and methods of creative learning is in opposition to attempts to automate evaluation and strict criteria by which it is implemented even for creative tasks. The survey among students and graduates of the Russian Federation revealed that the majority of respondents consider themselves victims of the education system, forcing them to someone else's opinion, especially these impressions are associated with the test procedure for the exam.
