SCIENTIFIC SCHOOLS IN THE INSTITUTE OF PEDAGOGICAL AND ADULT EDUCATION OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCES OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The leading trend in the development of Ukrainian and world pedagogical science is fundamentalisation, which is the basis of the "advance" education in the context of sustainable development of society. The primary principles of pedagogy in its interdisciplinary measurement was established through the activities of the university and academic centres where scientific schools were formed in retrospect. Accordance to this, the elaboration of methodological, theoretical, and practice- oriented achievements of scientific schools in the pedagogical and educational environment occurs through the continuity of generations of scientists, the actualization of achievements of experienced scientists, and their combination with the innovations of young scientists. The synthesis of these two layers of science allows solving present issues that arise in modern pedagogical science and educational practice. There is the need to globalise the experience of development of scientific schools in the contemporary education and pedagogical environment of Ukraine, particularly in academic centres, that represents the development of pedagogical science in the personalised dimension and confirms the crystallisation of its fundamental principles and innovative nature of scientific research.We summarised the achievements of the leading academic institution of Ukraine – the Institute of Pedagogical and Adult Education of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine – in the personalised context and outlined the prospects for the development of scientific schools of the Institute to meet modern challenges of reforming education and science.We described the trends in the development of scientific schools of the well- known Ukrainian scientists and educators (I. Ziaziun, S. Honcharenko, N. Hychkalo, L. Lukianova, L. Khomych), which were formed on the values of pedagogical mentoring, intellectual leadership, empathy, ethical and aesthetic philosophical guidelines.
