Education for the information society: problems and priorities

Abstract

A systematic analysis of the problem of the formation of the information education system in Russia is carried out and it is shown that its solution is a necessary condition for achieving the national goals of our country for the period up to 2030 and beyond. The urgency of this problem is due to the global digital transformation of modern society, the pace of development of which outstrips the ability of members of this society to adapt to the new conditions of their existence. The education system should reduce the severity of this contradiction by making adequate changes in its structure and content. The totality of these changes is proposed to be considered as an integral system of information education, which should have a proactive nature and the necessary scientific and methodological support. The structure of the information education system and its tasks at various levels of education are considered. The role of information education in the formation of the culture of information security, information ecology and modern scientific worldview is shown. The potential of Russian science, which can and should be used to solve this urgent and strategically important problem of our country’s development, is shown.
