Abstract

The world has appeared today in the phase of innovation development. An innovative type of progress with the main characteristic that can cover the essence of the changes that take place as a result of globalization and information revolution. The influence of these processes is felt in all spheres of social life and education is not an exception. Implementation of innovative processes in the education system is the main direction of its modernization in modern conditions. Meanwhile, the specificity of innovation processes in the education system has not been fully understood yet.First-priority research in this context requires, first of all, the theoretical and methodological foundations of innovative processes in education, in particular, the problems and contradictions in the positioning of innovative processes in the strategy of modernization of education. Attention is drawn to the innovation of any process, which involves a high level of education of its subjects and the ability to study in professional life and throughout life. It can be argued that the categories "innovation" and "education system" are mutually connected immanent categories. Their definition and structural-functional analysis require an integrated conceptual-theoretical approach. The educational system of any country becomes a national foundation for the innovative development of society. Only a high level of education provides a significant pace of innovation progress. This is evidenced by the rapid development of countries with advanced educational systems that have made a significant innovation breakthrough precisely thanks to the powerful advancement in the application of the latest educational technologies and principles. The national philosophical-educational and conceptual-theoretical discourse actively addresses the issues related to the innovative modernization of the Ukrainian educational system. The topicality of our research defines philosophical and outlook developing, and practically directed issues. Without a reflexive analysis of the innovation specificity of modern education and upbringing, it is impossible to implement a national strategy for the systematic modernization of education, without which Ukrainian society can`t become a competitive and progressive European-type society.
