QUALITATIVE SPECIFICITY OF HIGHER SCHOOL DYNAMICS AS A BASIC FACTOR OF INNOVATIVE TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE SOCIETY
Abstract
The paper is devoted to the analysis of the qualitative aspect of the higher education system as a special part of the process of social reproduction and a basic factor of innovative transformation of the economic foundations of modern society. Modern economy and society can overcome the accumulated contradictions and advance to a new level of positive dynamic development exclusively due to the transition to a new way of sustaining the material and spiritual life of society. This is based on the technological application of the transformative potential of a new knowledge paradigm. According to the author, a transformative, creative and innovative way of production that ensures the direct technological application of new knowledge requires the presence and development of general universal intellectual and innovative personal and professional competences in all producers of that product. It calls for a system of higher education where the sector of social reproduction is more fully represented in the modern economy; it is in fact the only sphere which combines a complex of generation, spreading and application of new knowledge. The author comes to the conclusion that nowadays the higher education sector objectively becomes a key sector in the process of generation and reproduction of innovative dynamics, as well as in the realization of a necessary socio-economic transformation of modern society based on new intellectual and innovative principles. Universities and other organizations of higher education are the basis of the sector of social reproduction.
