Abstract

As the experience of the world pandemic has shown, constraints are also a source of innovation. Education was able to cope with the challenges that confronted the world during the lockdown. Since then, education has developed in an environment full of uncertainty. The paper analyzes the problems of the development of the modern educational environment. The aim is to describe the main trends of changes in the educational environment, to identify the triggers of new trends in the perspective of modern educational reforms and global transformations. Theoretical methods were used: analysis of scientific-pedagogical research, synthesis of research results, and the main transformations of education in Poland. The empirical method of research in combination with the modern method of the survey online focus group, observation, and survey (closed questionnaire survey) was used. The closed questionnaire method of the study, observation, and survey of teachers of experimental and control institutions of higher education allowed to highlight the main issues of the study. The results of the study showed that new trends in the educational environment are influenced by external and internal factors and processes: global, geopolitical, technological, and socio-cultural. Among them: accessibility of education, changes in teaching methods, new learning skills, lifelong learning, the introduction of new educational start-ups, educational technology. Scientific novelty - the results of the work allowed to identify problematic points, the main trends of development, and to express a hypothesis about the presentation of the education of the future. The practical significance of the article is that further research into the trends of educational changes in order to identify the problems and prospects of creating an effective educational environment will ensure the quality of education and the needs.
