Contemporary Russian socio-humanistic cognition is experiencing an active process of foundation the integrative science of education, which complies with general laws of integration and differentiation of scientific knowledge. The phenomenon of education includes issues transformed in different historic contexts, while conforming to their specific space and time. The problem of interaction between education and culture in a wider context both prevails over and determines the strategic trends of developing the integrative science of education. The most general principle of interaction between education and culture can be defined as follows: the system of education and culture have to conform to each other. The information revolution has fueled a new type of sociocultural organization - a culture of information society. The research is aimed at explicating the main aspects of interaction between education and culture that determine the strategic trends of developing the integrative science of education. The article reviews the role of philosophy of education in the integrative science of education and provides the detailed analysis of the following trends in the integrative science of education: - the problem of shaping and rendering the cultural and spiritual values; - changes in sociocultural environment and the problem of preserving a personality; - the problem of daily awareness development; - the problem of philosophy of education foundation; - development of compensatory mechanism in carrying out variative and level-based education; - development of pedagogical experiment theory. The paper makes conclusion that these strategic trends surround the primary attractor which is the problem of forming new human being mentality, who is able to communicate volitionally in the information society and be preserved as a personality either. In this context, the problem of keeping and rendering the value core of Russian education that preserves a personality and ensures further progressive development of modern Russia is the major challenge of integrative science of education.
The author declares, modern education is intended to be an assertion and action; and concepts of moderntimes are characterized by interest in the unrendering of religious experience, language, dictionary, mentality, which has greatly to do with education. The article provides an analysis of the interaction between uncertainty phenomenon and the ideas of cosmism in educational discourse. Uncertainty is considered as an event and reflection. This gives the opportunity to understand not only the ontological, epistemic and ethico-aesthetic aspects of uncertainty, but also to outline the prospects in the field of education, which is associated primarily with the construction of a systemic and holistic picture of education in dialogue with the ideas of cosmism. Cosmism as the thought event focuses on approving educational action. In cosmism correlated religious values and the projective thoughts, images and ideas of philosophy, natural science views, prose and poetry. The article presents semantic and categorical analysis of images and concepts that arise in topological unity of uncertainty and cosmism. Because the concept of uncertainty is invariant significant for group and personal self-actualization of social actors, a concept explored in the context of cosmism, with the utmost fulness of ideas about the Genesis of society and the individual. Ultimately, the topic of uncertainty facing the problem of overcoming of postmodern relativism and the constructive comprehension of the meanings of the generic unity of philosophy and new educational programs.
The advanced education system should be capable not only to train students, but also to shape the necessity in lifelong self-studying self-education skills and knowledge and personal creative approach to the knowledge. There is much tension about the issue of educational quality improvement and specialists training corresponding to the modern society requirements in the social life. The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic endorsed many important documents in order to solve these problems. They endorsed “The National strategy of sustainable development in the Kyrgyz Republic in 2013-2017” of January 14, 2013, which contained “Any even the most advanced content of education will be absolutely not necessary if new technologies in education aren't applied. It is necessary for secondary education, vocational training and higher education to focus on training of specialists of new generation in the sphere of information and communication technologies that can become one of the key factors defining the subsequent accelerated development of economy, science and culture in the future” [1, P. 42]. The tasks mentioned above require the vast reforming of higher professional education. Thus, reforming of education and its compliance with the requirements of Bologna Process defines purposes of its integration in the international educational standard.
The paper pays attention to complicated problems occurred due to the modern reforms in education and declares they have much in common. This similarity is systematic and takes place due to changes in society. Education movement is one of the components of the similarity mentioned above. It reveals as a social common good to the individual one. This tendency was described by the authors in the article published in the previous volume of journal “Professional education in the modern world”. The authors attempt to consider one of the main ways of this “movement” which is transformation of education from an individual good to a service. The authors consider education as educational service and it stipulates the statement that reproductive education is based on economic factor and not the cultural one. Educational space is considered as educational service market and educational subjects (state, civil society, family and individual) are reviewed as subjects of economic relations. The publication adheres to the opinion that this process is like modernization of “factory” education interaction and not its exact new model. That is why the process leads to destructions in sense and values of educational space belonging to individual and family and to the state educational policy inappropriate for requirements of VI technological mode.
The paper stipulates, that theory of national security is based on the classical canons of philosophical culture, its main achievements that are always theoretical, methodological and praxeological basis in all the spheres of human activity. The nature of existence and development of society assumes implementation of the fundamental forces, revealing social basic needs, interests and productive forces. Applying of the forces mentioned above leads to selective attitude to the world revealed in differences and conditions of its existence and sustainable development. It should be mentioned, that focusing on national security issues should be followed by the fact that the prevailing trend in building a legal state must assume changing the vector from the state security towards the public safety. This attitude focuses on the real conditions. The society defines the goals of its activity, which perform as ideals when implementing the productive forces and needs. Achievement of the goals is followed by searching the efficient means, which are found among the real conditions. The real social situation only can lead to safety and security. The origin implies realization of the phenomenon of national security. Nowadays, national security assumes qualified human resources as the technological security and safety is impossible without human resources and scientific developments and social security is impossible without education and science reviewed as fundamentals; environmental safety can be achieved by means of mental development and new culture of survival. Neither social systems nor a country can develop efficiently without a system of values, as the nation with no values becomes the crowd. Education takes the first places in people’s values. No doubts, the person should be considered as the most important one in the problems of security as the human security defines the extent the national security and social security are close to the efficient standards. Thus, the prominence of any country is determined by people education.
This article deals with a problem of integration of Russian higher professional education into the Western European educational space. The European countries signing an agreement in Bologna represent one of four or five world centers on economy, politics and social spheres.

Thus, he reviews two criteria levels distinctions in scientific and pre-scientific knowledge; they are scientific level and methodological one that are common for science and methodology. The paper reveals the weak points by means of which quasiscientific learning could influence the educational process. The author explains the necessity to develop the defence mechanisms for modern education from quasiscientific influences. The article makes conclusion that the formation of scientific knowledge criteria is a nonlinear process. Therefore, these criteria are constantly being clarified and supplemented under the influence of science and philosophical concepts. Various philosophical and scientific schools offered and offer their own scientific criteria. This resulted in the criteria recognized by the scientific community and which form the scientific “defence mechanism”. The mechanism is aimed at keeping scientific holism and scientific professional education.
