Abstract

The purpose of the article is to characterize the main activities of the Vinnytsia Pedagogical Institute based on archival documents, in particular, to analyze the personnel com- position, the state of educational activity and research work, to show the fi nancial situation of the institution in general, and the participants of the educational process in particular. Public-political and cultural-educational activities remained out of the author’s attention, which will be the subject of a separate publication. Th e methodological basis of the research is the principles of historicism, systematicity and comprehensiveness, problem-chronological and diachronic methods. Th e scien- tifi c novelty of the publication lies in the fact that for the fi rst time, based on archival materials of the fund of the party organization of the Vinnytsia Pedagogical Institute, the main areas of activity of this institution of higher education have been analyzed. Conclusions. Th e party organization of the Pedagogical Institute, in addition to ideological and ideological and educational work, tried to control other areas of the higher education institution’s work. At the meetings of the party bureau, personnel issues were considered, personal cases of party teachers who violated party discipline were heard, and the state of career guidance work and the progress of student admissions were analyzed. Th e subject of the discussion was the organization of the educational process: attention was paid to improving the quality of teaching, improving the pedagogical skills of teachers, using visualization in lectures, ensuring full-fl edged independent work of students, etc. Measures were taken to bring the activities of scientifi c and pedagogical workers closer to the practice of school- work and to improve the professional training of students. A number of documents characterize the state of the scientifi c work of individual teachers, in particular, their writing of theses, scientifi c and popular science works, etc. Th e material and technical base was expanded and strengthened: study areas increased, students received a new dormitory, a dining hall was put into operation, and some teachers received apartments. Most of these changes occurred in the 1960s. However, it was not possible to fully resolve the issue of providing the institute with an educational space, and teachers with housing, at that time.
