Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of education as a social institution and the peculiarities of institutional, social and managerial context, in which its features are manifested at the present stage.
The authors analyze diff erent formats of education, identify common patterns and specifi c factors that have determined its transformation. The authors distinguish two classes of education matrices — individual and group learning. The matrices of individual learning include: 1) self-education, 2) mentoring, 3) governess and tutoring, 4) tutoring; the matrices of group learning include: 1) mass education, 2) traditional education, 3) adult education, 4) the matrix of “turquoise” education. The article characterizes the components of institutional matrices in detail.
The authors believe that looking at the development of education in the context of changing institutional matrices is fundamentally important from the perspective of social management. The article, based on the consideration of the institutional context of the educational process, reveals the current problems of social management in the fi eld of education and proposes some directions of institutional transformation.
In particular, the authors consider the expansion of opportunities for individual education (tutoring and mentoring), active development of elder education in accordance with the concept of lifelong learning, equalization of the status of paid and free education, as well as the active use of information and communication technologies and AI in the educational process. The authors believe that the proposed measures will make it possible to supplement the traditional matrix of education, reducing its negative eff ects, which will serve to expand learning opportunities for all categories of the population and improve the quality of education in general
