ENOn the basis of works by Kavolis (1991), Želvys (1998), Hargreaves (1999), and other authors, the article presents the analysis of causes for the change in education. The causes are as follows: improvement of knowledge and abundance of information, increased development of science and technologies, interaction between the humanity and the environment, the influence of changes on social and personal life, and creation of the democratic society. In the context of these causes, it is possible to indicate certain issues: dynamics and unreliability of knowledge, increase in competition, retaining national identity, a wider context of the work place, instability of the boundaries of an organization, survival of the humanity, etc., the solution of which requires critical thinking. Critical thinking is a response to global problems of the creation of democracy (dynamics and unreliability of knowledge; increase in competition; preservation of national identity; a wider context of the work place, instability of the boundaries of an organization, in determination of the hierarchic structure and alteration of person's roles in an organization; preservation of the global environment; survival of the mankind; interpersonal relationships; disappearance of psychological boundaries; development of a freely-thinking person). Critical thinking is defined through the necessity to: be (by adapting to changing situations without losing one's heritage); know (how to select the necessary information, how to foresee knowledge necessary in ten or more years); act (living and working in a complex changing world and creating the democratic society).
