Abstract.
The article examines the issue of social and personal influence of the modern model of education management mostly on teachers. The analysis made from the standpoint of the Philosophy of Education proceeds from several theses: the need to clarify the anthropological ideas that always lie in the foundations of education; the relationship between social and personal and organizational and managerial elements in the education system; the correlation of the management model with the pedagogical model, and that – with the model of pedagogical education. The topicality of the study is due to the situation in the world and the Russian education, covered by the analysis, showing the conceptual shifts in the education interpretation as well as occurrence of new phenomena that need philosophical comprehension. The research is carried out on the basis of the shared methods of the Humanities, corresponding methods of Philosophical Anthropology, Social Philosophy, Philosophy of Education, Comparative Pedagogy and the review of the Russian and foreign literature. The foreign scientific literature contains a great number of studies on neoliberalism and managerialism integrally (D. Harvey, P. Bourdieu, T. Klikauer, G. Becker, D. Plehwe, Th. Biebricher, J. Peck, W. Brown, C. Crouch, W. Davies, R. Thaler, etc.). There are also works on neoliberalism in connection with education (S. Ball, B. Lingard, F. Rizvi, B. Davies, P. Roberts, S. Shepherd, etc.). The issue, touched upon in the article, however, as the subject for study, in the provided by the author pattern of aspects examined, is original and acute. The given article comprises a general review of the model under discussion – that of the model of “new state management” (NSM) in the context of education management; the analysis of its genesis as the result of establishing a managerial paradigm under the influence of neoliberalism and “economic imperialism” and a set of problems arisen by this; analysis of the idea, compiling the latter, of a human-being as Homo economicus; consideration of a certification problem in the context of the management model under analysis as obliviousness of real aims of certification and assessment of a teacher; comprehension of socio-personal essence of the problems of education management in their influence on the teachers, discover of founding of absolutely different versions of managing the management understanding as control or care, revealing new forms of detachment and deformation of a teacher’s professional identity (professional cynicism, the loss of a pedagogical identity); development of correspondent solutions in respect of education in general, and of the teacher education in particular. By way of conclusion, the findings of the conducted research are given. They provide the main features of the negative socio-personal influence of NGM in education and approaches to solving these problems.
