The world believes today in the importance of education and aspires to supply a good education. The question is in what way? For achieving the purpose, a significant change is required rather than another temporary solution. This type of change might reduce the number of matriculation exams and the number of studied subjects, and on the other hand, in¬clusion of humanistic, scientific and artistic subjects. Such teaching emphasizes – the structuration of knowledge by the studier under supervision and control, a combination between personal and mutual learning, alternative evaluation that emphasizes the inclusion of a pupil in the various stages of the process and includes his self-evaluation and the eva¬lu¬ation of his peers in class. The comparative analysis of study programs in Israel, United Kingdom and Finland offers opportunities to examine va¬rious models of studying according to the needs of the 21st century. Following the conclusions in Israel and European countries, a new test is under consideration that would be in¬ter¬ac¬tive, conducted by means of a computer, would call for reasons and explanations and maintain interaction and debate with the pupils. In the Pisa test of 2012, exercises in solving problems and economic literacy will be added to the tra¬di¬ti¬o¬nal tests that demonstrate dealing with routine dilemmas in the field of finances, solving problems as a team – exa¬mi¬na¬tion of skills of the 21st century [1].

The modernization of education requires the implementation of technologies that would create real conditions for independent cognitive activity of pupils. One of the most effective technologies that forms and develops cognitive skills is the modular education. Technology is an activity, which maximally reflects the objective laws of the discipline of study and ensures the best correspondence between the results and the set goals for the given conditions. The structure of the national curriculum in physics is based on the principles of integrated-modular education technology; it means the study of the objective content in large blocks. This structure requires the development of modules in the activity of teachers, in other words the central moments of topics which combine operational objectives, content, technology of goals achievement and "feedback". The main feature of the module is the technology of mastering of the educational content, which allows organizing an independent cognitive activity of each learner. The application of modular technology changes the functions such as of pupils as well as of teachers. The student independently masters content through certain activities, the teacher accompanies the learners in achieving the goals.

This article describes the main aspects of the worldview of Niccolo Machiavelli – one of the biggest thinkers of the Re¬naissance. Machiavelli's doctrine is based on a deep knowledge of social and psychological patterns of human be¬ha¬vior. Historically Machiavelli is shown as a keen cynic, who believed that the basis of political behavior is profit or power, and that policy should be based on force, not on the morality, which can be neglected for a good purpose. Machiavellianism is understood as a political activity, which does not neglect any ways to achieve the goal, and is based on the belief that in communication with others you not only can, but need to manipulate, and manipulation is not just some¬thing natural, but also it is the most effective way of interaction. In this article, however, is explained the thesis about pro¬found psychological realism of Italian thinker doctrine and, in particular, his following fundamental thesis that nature has created people so, that they may want anything; between two poles - the desired and actual - there is a dangerous voltage (dissatisfaction), which can fracture the human being, and make him envious, greedy or in¬si¬dious. Machiavelli - one of the few figures of the Renaissance, who in his writings raised the question about the role of the leader’s personality. He believed, basing on the realities of his day Italy, which suffered from feudal fragmentation, that it is better to have strong prince at the head of the unified sovereign country, even if he has no remorse; than com¬pe¬ting specific rulers. Machiavelli in his writings on the place of religious dogmas placed the man. According to him, all the processes which are taking place in the society and, consequently, in the country as its main political institution, are determined by the human nature (instincts), or the human mind. Moreover, Machiavelli indicated the presence of certain dependence between the social structure of society and form of government. Machiavelli set the ancient valor against Christian humility. The last he considered something evil, that makes the world become weak and give it to the power of unopposed villains. Thus, Machiavelli gave a psy¬cho¬lo¬gi¬cally reasoned response to the question of relationship between moral norms and political expediency. However, it should be noted, that Machiavelli wasn’t the first who spoke about the social contradictions as one of the main element of society. Before him, it was indicated by Plato and Aristotle, but he was the first of European non-ancient thinkers who attempted to link the processes taking place both in the society and its political system.
