Аннотация

The article describes modern tendencies of development of psychological and pedagogical knowledge. The socio-psychological foundations for future research are formulated and the outstanding questions of the existing theoretical concepts in the field of training and upbringing are indicated. Particular at­tention is paid to the issues discussed in the round table “Topical problems of pedagogical psychology and psychology of education” at the conference “Fundamental problems of psychology”. The needs and challenges on the problems of educational psychology at the levels of state, society and man, which practice formulates for scientific community, are identified. The relevance and logic of the research for a new under changing old concepts of education leads to the transformation of social institutions caused by changes in the cultural, humanitarian, social, scientific-technical, economic, political. Today, the range of psychological and pedagogical research has gone far beyond the university and is no longer limited to the problems of education and upbringing, traditionally included in the competence of pedagogical psychology. The concept of “long-life learning” has defined the prospects for new research focusing on the diversity (personal, interpersonal, cognitive, rehabilitation, etc.) of changes in a person’s life when they are included in the field of education. Thus, the tasks that previously lay exclusively in the context of the psychology of teaching and upbringing, as well as the psychology of the one who teaches, have now expanded to the level of general humanitarian, humanistic, and socio-cultural.
