ROMAN-IRISH EDUCATIVE TRADITION IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF CENTRAL UKRAINE AT THE LATE XIX – EARLY XX CENTURIES

Abstract

The article analyzes the textbooks for elementary schools and gymnasiums of different types, which are located in the library of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. It is found that the content of the textbooks proves provisions of our study that the Roman-Irish scholarly tradition took place in educational process of Ukraine at the late XIX - early XX centuries.The author’s research field includes arithmetic textbooks that contain logical and mathematical problems of Alcuin and his students, ABC books and alphabets with sequential reading and spelling techniques, publicly available guides for sound teaching method of elementary education, which also took place in elementary school. In addition, the article deals with arithmetic courses for repetition in public schools (end of the nineteenth - early twentieth centuries), manuals containing tasks and dictations for undergraduate applicants in classical gymnasiums and universities, rhetoric and higher eloquence textbooks, Greek and Latin grammar books, indexes of current pedagogical literature of the late nineteenth century.Considering that today there has been no systematic analysis of educational publications for elementary schools, different types of schools and gymnasiums, as well as author’s manuals designed for independent preparation of future gymnasium students and university students in the period we have defined (end of XIX - beginning of XX ), author of the article sought to carry out such an analysis and to identify in the textbooks and manuals the component that is defined as the Roman-Irish educational tradition.An approach of K. Govorov, A. Zhdanov, M. Zarnitsky, F. Kodupolo and others to the study of grammar and literature in scientific-school editions shows: first, the importance of initial language learning, as it was in the Carolingian grammar schools; second, the phonetic and morphological approach to word learning at the initial stage of grammar study also confirms the previous postulate. In the period defined by us Rhetoric also occupied an exceptional place in the system of education, it is enough to analyze textbooks of that time (N. Koshansky, M. Speransky, O. Eshenburg) and its rules from the Carolingian era remained almost unchanged.
