САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:


This article looks into the trends in education, aimed to customize with the needs of the information age, from the aspect of the interests of the individuals as social beings. The subject is the problematized in the value context, primarily the of the community, as a framework for the functioning of individuals. To this end, the response of education system to the circumstances imposed by the information age have been analysed functionally and, with respect that value context involves perception of challenges, also phenomenologically. The information age is imposing important changes in daily activities of professionals, in terms of speed and quantity of information with which they are faced, as well as the globalization of markets. These changes require the adjustment of production and acquisition of knowledge in the direction of training individuals for professional competitiveness at a global level. The result is expressed in specialized education, that deduces knowledge down to problem expertise. A consequence of this trend is the lowering of education on economic functionality and overriding of its function of producing cadres able to lead the communities, through the deprivation of the value components. These consequences have a direct effect on national security, as an expression of the vital values of survival and the free development of a political community. The analysis shows that education solely for economic needs in the information age does not include the interests of the quality of life of individuals, primarily in the field of democratic preconditions, and in that sense generates a challenge that requires access to and from the point of view of national security.
