Educational network of Lvivska oblast: trends and problems of functioning

The decentralization of the education system and the increased role of local authorities in financing and managing the educational network have become the main focus of the country’s education reform. This requires local governments to take into account changes in the main trends in education and its financing and the correspondence of the number of institutions and staffing to the demographic situation and labor market needs in the region. The article aims to identify the main trends and problems of the functioning of the educational network in Lvivska oblast. The systematic methodological approach in combination with statistical research methods was used in the course of the research to realize its purpose. The article reveals the main trends of changes in the network of pre-school and general secondary education institutions in Lvivska oblast. Problems related to the overcrowding of pre-school educational institutions in the region are clarified. The main problem in the field of pre-school education lies in the discrepancy between the existing needs and the financial possibilities of ensuring the acquisition of pre-school education in territorial communities with a low level of financial capacity. The number of general secondary education institutions has significantly decreased due to the optimization of the educational network in the region. At the same time, inclusive education is developing at a dynamic pace through the creation of inclusive groups and classes, inclusive resource centers, and professional communities of specialists in such centers. The war has made its corrections, in particular, the need to strengthen the security of the educational process. An offline form of education is possible only if there is a suitable shelter in which all students and teaching staff can fit in. The vast majority of educational institutions have created their own shelters, while issues of creating sanitary conditions and compliance of shelters with established norms remain problematic.

The city as a factor of socialization of preschoolers: routes of movement and semantic points

Based on the materials of sociological surveys, the article reveals the routes and semantic points of urban movements of preschoolers. The subject of the study is the city as a socio-territorial education and a space of socialization, with the main focus on the mobility of preschool children. The city, being a factor in the socialization of children, promotes the development of cognitive interest and communication skills, ensures integration into communities and the accumulation of social capital. Moving around the city forms identity, develops skills and promotes social integration, emphasizing the role of the city in the reproduction of connections and relationships. The study was conducted using the principles of the concept of Sociology of mobility of J. Urry and M. Scheller. The article presents the results of two studies conducted in 2021 and 2023. The object of the first study is the parent community of Yekaterinburg, which has preschool children (n=163), the objects of the second are teachers of preschool educational institutions (n=412). The research includes online surveys and interviews with parents, identifying travel routes and their social contexts in an urban environment. Four routes of urban movement are identified: educational, leisure and gaming, household, educational and recreational. Parents with preschool children do not limit themselves to the proposed trajectories, also visiting relatives, friends, shopping malls, cafes/restaurants. The study of mobility routes contributes to the study of children's space, which depends on factors of different order and level (type of territory, material wealth and type of family, etc.). The work argues that the socialization capabilities of the city for the development of children, on the one hand, are limited by the local infrastructure of the family's residential neighborhood, on the other hand, the choice of parental community routes urban mobility and a semantic map of movements.

The current situation of forming number symbols for children aged 3-6 according to the Montessori Method in independent preschool education institutions in Tuyen Quang City

This study examines the current situation of forming number symbols for children aged 3-6 using the Montessori Method in independent preschool education institutions in Tuyen Quang city, Tuyen Quang province. Survey results indicate that the awareness level of number symbols among children using the Montessori Method is primarily at an average and weak level. The main reason is that most preschool teachers struggle when using specialized math teaching aids and when planning math lessons for children, relying solely on the researched curriculum content for preschool teachers, uniformly designed for all children of the same age without considering differences in abilities, strengths, speeds, etc., to create the most suitable learning program for each child. This approach leads to a situation where children find lessons boring due to teacher requirements being either too low or too high. As a result, the author proposes several measures to form number symbols for children aged 3-6 using the Montessori Method in the surveyed area.
