Abstract. The urgency of the study of "stem-education" as a factor in the development of "smartsociety"
is that this kind of society (smart-society) is a continuation of information (network) and
"knowledge society", which is developing on the basis of smart technologies. The concept of smart
society is at the heart of modern state-owned development programs of South Korea and Japan. In
South Korea, the National Social Agency has developed a "Smart Society Strategy" that introduces the
technological foundations of smart societies. The central issue of Smart-society is business, which
makes managing more intelligent (flexible, intelligent) and activities aimed at using knowledge and
innovation. The objectives of the study are to identify the "stem-education" endpoint through the use
of electronic and collective technologies, which become more massive and effective, and through the
use of natural, engineering and maternal education. It is no coincidence that this concept is
documented in the Europe 2020 Strategy: Smart Growth Strategy, which includes the development of
an economy based on knowledge and innovation, fosters sustainable growth, more efficient use of
resources, and inclusive growth and strengthening of high employment. Countries such as the United
States, China, Australia, the United Kingdom, Israel, and Singapore carry out state-of-the-art stemeducation
programs. The methodological basis of the study is systematic, structural, axiological,
synergetic methods and approaches that have allowed disclosing stem-education as the leading trend
in the world of educational space. Conclusion - It is proved that stem-education is an innovation that
combines the traditions of natural and mathematical education, is based on the principles of
fundamentalism and knowledge-based, combining technological, organizational, material and
technical resources and human capital. As a result of the development of stem-education at the
expense of ICT, business processes, governance, and management reform are undergoing change,
leading to economic, social and managerial processes at a higher level in some of those
societies. Smart society is a new quality of society in which the combination of the use of new
technologies will allow people to improve the quality of their lives. This article presents philosophical
and educational reflection of smart-society as a new model of the information society and presents its
impact on human (intellectual) capital. It reveals timeliness of this topic, which is innovative and
hardly developed. It analyses international experience in establishment and growth of smart-society
and dimensions of axiological field of smart-society, which is based on axiological matrix of
information and knowledge, which are considered and being civilized dimensions of modern society.
The main idea is to prove the evolution of the information society to smart-society and the possibility
of establishment of smart-society in Ukraine. The analysis of smart-society formation was made and
its characteristics were defined, which claims priority role in the world information space formation
and contribute to the competitiveness of Ukraine in the international information space.
