Therefore, finalizing main principles of the transformational learning and the difference between instrumental and transformational learnings we can share the following suggestion:

"Instrumental learning is the acquisition of skills and knowledge (mastering tasks, problem solving, manipulating the environment: the "how" and the "what"). In contrast, transformative learning is perspective transformation, a paradigm shift, whereby we critically examine our prior interpretations and assumptions to form new meaning the "why." This perspective transformation is achieved through (1) disorienting dilemmas, (2) critical reflection, (3) rational dialogue, and (4) action" [Mezirow"s 10 Phases of Transformative Learning].

Conclusion

New educational paradigm offers the concept of cognitive effectiveness and how to reach it through educational technologies. It includes topics of creative thinking, teambuilding abilities, effective decision-making, engagement in the learning and teaching processes, cognitive skills improvement, etc. The idea is application of innovative cognitive technologies (interactive visual communicative technologies, gamification, mediation, etc.) in to the system of education. It will change the existing approach to the teaching and learning in secondary schools and universities. The perspective direction of further researches is to find a methodological base for the platform for realization of innovative services for educational programs: integration of flexible teaching methods, the latest hardware and software, digital 3D-objects and multimedia content and elements of augmented reality.

In addition, the focus on transversal competences and their development by the way of applying the cognitive technologies in education will improve the process of real cognitive effectiveness and human adaptation. First, it leads to the theoretical and practical implementation of the achievements of cognitive sciences and technologies on the matters of educational motivation, creativity, values, cognitive effectiveness, etc. To increase social and personal impact it is necessary to deliver tailor-made courses on visualisation, gaming, decision-making, creativity, mediation, facilitation, non-violence communication, etc. These courses should help to improve the human adaptation strategies. However, our analysis, in any case, does not purport to cover all the problems of human adaptation strategies. We have

highlighted just the areas and identified the ideas, on the basis of which we will build proper development of cognitive technologies.

Therefore, we have considered the implementation of new cognitive technologies, primarily focused on the development of the "21st century skills." transversal competences. These competences connected with the social intelligence, in particular, with the social cohesion development. These types of technologies are very effective because of their impact on the development of human"s social adaptation.
