Research of new spatial parameters in the education sphere: analysis of development vectors determined by digital and non-digital aspects

In modern education sphere, which is subject to constant change under the influence of socio-cultural, environmental, and economic changes, there is an urgent task to create methods and directions in the educational process consonant with the transformations. The purpose of the study is to identify promising areas of research in the context of continuing education. The methodological tools were: analysis of interrelationships between concepts that combine philosophical, sociocultural, economic, and educational categories; critical analysis of our own pedagogical practice in the context of formal, informal, and incidental learning; organization and implementation of a survey of experts via the Internet in December 2023; qualitative analysis of detailed answers of survey participants to the questions posed. New sources for an interdisciplinary methodology creation have been identified, the development of which is envisioned at the boundary of diverse knowledge domains and in the framework of practical research on transdisciplinarity. The author’s analysis has revealed significant methodological innovations present in science and contemporary philosophy when considering lifelong learning as a vital aspect of a modern man. The potential and perspectives immanent to innovative combinations and interactions between previously autonomous spheres of knowledge have been analyzed. In the era of rapid technological and educational development, where the human aspect is merging with artificial intelligence, human values preservation becomes critical. The article gains its significance by exploring the methodological approaches most suitable for developing a progressive psychological and pedagogical concept within the phenomenon of continuing basic education.
