Foreign experience of the social consequences of scientific and technological development: a place of education

The social aspect (the restructuring of thinking, way of life and activity, quality of life, education) is determined by the deficiency of fundamental scientific information on trends, issues, necessary conditions and possibilities of using foreign experience in managing the social consequences of scientific and technological development (progress) at the present stage of Russian modernization.

In this context, the changes, introduced by the scientific and technical progress (STP), which invade all aspects of human life, changing labor incentives, education and representation of human happiness, become an important object of study.

Purpose of the study. The study of foreign experience of social consequences of scientific and technological development (progress) at the present stage to assess the possibility of fragmented or integrated use of the new knowledge in the formation of long-term strategies for the development of science and technology, taking into account the social needs of society.

R & D tasks. To effectively address the problems of modernization and restructuring of Russia it is necessary to explore and identify patterns and trends in the development of scientific and technological progress and social aspects of thinking changes, lifestyle and human activities for their subsequent use in the measurement and control of the social aspects of human life. To this should be investigated:

1. Peculiarities of scientific and technological development in the next stage of the «long wave» of progress, which leads to the need for programming the development of the social aspect of the measure and the regulation of the quality of human life.

2. Positive and negative social consequences of the development of scientific and technical progress.

3. The impact of new challenges, factors and conditions, caused by the development of science and technology.

4. Proposals for the analysis of the linkages and the risks of introduction of science and technology in everyday life.

5. The role of education in preventing the consequences of scientific and technological progress

Materials and Methods: The methodological and theoretical basis of the research were the works of foreign researchers, who have studied the problems of the infl uence of NTP on the development of human society. In order to ensure the comprehensiveness and reliability of research results publications on research topic in the press and the Internet were used in the work.

When conducting research and presenting the material philosophical and scientific methods and approaches, specific institutional methods of analysis: system-structural, functional, comparative, evolutionary, interdisciplinary, comparative analysis method were applied.

Results: The study data were obtained, indicating the complex nature of the impact and far ambiguous and contradictory infl uence of NTP on the life of human, taking place «lag» awareness of the consequences of scientific and technical progress.

Conclusion: Formation of the scientific and technical policy of the state must be carried in the conditions of state control systems for development of the of NTP in a risk society.

Key importance in this system belongs to education as one of the major factors directly affecting the understanding of the effect of NTP on all aspects of human life, the formation of advanced consciousness, and, as a consequence, enhance the security of human society life.
