Philosophy of Education in the Digital Age: Transformation of Meanings and Values

Abstract

The current stage of development of society is characterized by intensive digitalization of all spheres of life,including education. In the context of rapid digital transformation, there is a need for a deep philosophicalunderstanding of the changes taking place. This article is devoted to the analysis of the transformation of themeanings and values of education in the context of the digital era. The purpose of this study is to identify andanalyze key philosophical concepts that define the modern understanding of education in the context of thepenetration of digital technologies into the educational environment, as well as to assess their impact on theformation of new ethical, axiological and ontological foundations of the educational system. The study pro-vides a systematic analysis of the fundamental philosophical categories of subjectivity, knowledge, truth,freedom and education through the prism of digital reality. Particular attention is paid to the phenomena ofvirtualization, algorithmization and automation, which transform traditional models of educational interactionand redefine the goals of education. Drawing on the practice of NJSC “Toraighyrov University”, the shift inemphasis from the humanistic paradigm to technocratic logic is considered, within which personal develop-ment is increasingly giving way to competence indicators and digital efficiency. The authors substantiate theneed to preserve the humanitarian and existential dimensions of education in the context of technologicalpressure and offer conceptual guidelines to form a new philosophy of education capable of integrating theachievements of the digital era with the enduring values of humanity, dialogue and critical thinking. The re-sults obtained are of interest both for the development of theoretical discourse in the field of philosophy ofeducation and for the design of educational policy strategies in the digital era
