Education as a unity of understanding and will
This work is devoted to a discussion of the problems of modern education associated with its understanding as a service and bureaucratization. In the conditions of information redundancy in modern society, solving these problems requires abandoning the strategy of unlimited transfer of knowledge and a transition to providing the student with an understanding of the basic material that ensures the work of his critical thinking. The teacher from the main provider of knowledge turns into a mentor. The high speed of changes in modern society requires a fragmentation of the levels of education and a wider use in its organization ofjoint creative projects of students with a teacher in the role of a moderator and consultant. An important role in education should be played by interest groups oriented towards common values and participating in creativity, which requires the development of will. All this creates the foundations of value-oriented personal education, which have numerous prerequisites in the history of Russian education.
