ПЕДАГОГІЧНА ОРТОБІОТИКА ЯК СКЛАДНИК ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНЬОГО ВЧИТЕЛЯ

Health for a person as a living being should be an absolute, natural vital value, because the satisfaction of almost all human needs, the quality and durability of his life depends on his level. Only a healthy, vital organism is capable of the full and qualitative interaction of a person with the external environment: with the world of nature and social conditions of existence. However, recently in modern Ukrainian society there has been a rapid deterioration in the health of citizens, children, and youth, which causes the search for new ways to maintain health and a responsible attitude to their own health as value. In this regard, it is relevant to increase the professional competence of the teacher by using the ideas of orthobiotics. In the end, for the teacher, it is important not only to acquire knowledge, skills to take care and consciously relate to their individual health, but also to teach students this. In this case, a powerful mechanism is a personal example. Ortobiotics as a science of self -preservation of human health, offers personality means of practical mastery of the technique of maintaining their own health (physical, mental, and spiritual) to continue the productive, high -quality, optimistic life as long as possible. It is pedagogical orthobiotics that should find its place in the content of professional education, the purpose of which is to form sanogenic thinking, by developing a personal strategy for health care, mastering several methods to prevent, and overcome those situations and conditions that threaten the personal health of the teacher and the collective (pedagogical and student) generally. The purpose of the study is to study the essence and significance of orthobiotics as a technology that contributes to the preservation of health, for long -term activities and ideas about this among students at a pedagogical university as future teachers. The results of pedagogical diagnostics have shown that many students do not have sufficient knowledge about orthobiotics, and their current state of health leaves much to be desired. This indicates that there is not enough professional training and healthcare skills for students as future teachers, that motivation to increase the level of healthcare culture is insufficient. Thus, it is necessary to enrich the content of the professional and practical training of future specialists with healthcare technologies and pay more attention to the formation of a culture of their own health and motivation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Key words: health, healthcare, orthobiotics, the competence of the teacher.

Ballet in Ukraine: From Uncertainty to Defiance and Independence

This article is dedicated to analyzing existing cultural tensions between nationalism and neo-imperialism through the prism of oral narratives of ballet training in post-Soviet Ukraine. I present and reflect on the results of a three-month-long ethnographic field study, which took place at a primary state-sponsored ballet school in Ukraine—the Kyiv State Choreographic School. My article seeks to investigate the role and position of Ukrainian state-sponsored ballet at a crossroads of political and cultural crisis, when a new identity may rise from the ruins of a previously constructed cultural monolith of Soviet ballet. I explore the complex history and present condition of classical ballet training in Kyiv, Ukraine, and reveal it as both a contested cultural space and an important barrier to political radicalization. I show that ballet training centers of Ukraine successfully resist co-optation by both neo-imperial and nationalist ideologies, forming robust and inclusive dancing communities that in many ways mirror structures of modern Ukrainian society.

Analysis of the modern functional field of effective implementation of public control in the system of public administration in Ukraine

AbstractThe relevance of this article lies in the fact that the study of the public administration system in Ukraine is an important issue. In modern Ukrainian society there is a clear demand for effective ways to involve the general public and create real mechanisms for implementing democratic principles of public administration through European integration processes. The aim of the study is to analyse the current functional field in the processes of public control in the public administration system of Ukraine. The following research methods were used: analysis and synthesis of information, comparative method, method of sociological research, as well as the method of induction. At the final stage of the study, an analysis of scientific sources on the research topic was carried out. According to the results of the study, it can be argued that the effectiveness of public control in Ukraine directly depends on the state of development of civil society and the level of interaction of its subjects with state authorities and their officials. This largely depends on the motivation of the competent authorities, since state institutions, especially in the legal and organisational spheres, ensure the development of civil society and form the basis for public participation in governance. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that the research presented in the article and the analysis of literature sources provides an idea of the implementation of public control in the public administration system in Ukraine, and also opens up new opportunities for its improvement.

The role and place of women in the army of Ukraine in the context of gender equality

The article is the analysis of the current issues related to gender policy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article presents the principle of equality that has a number of manifestations, one of which is the principle of gender equality meaning equal approach to all relevant issues regardless of gender. Gender stereotypes, gender behavioural norms and problems of gender identification in the modern Ukrainian society are analysed. The problem of gender differences is associated with the fact that due to the continuous dynamic changes in the world, more and more questions arise as to the impact of certain gender stereotypes on professional activities of a person. One of the currently discussed issues is the impact of gender mainstreaming on the role of women in the military, as well as the impact on the effectiveness of military operations with their participation.The results of the research confirm that the principle of equal rights and possibilities for the service people of both genders is implemented in the army; however there is still the necessity to strengthen educational activities among the personnel, first of all, among the units and subdivisions of Ukraines Armed Forces. For the last few years, considering the fulfilment of assigned tasks in both everyday life and combat operations, the role of servicewomen has increased. To determine theoretical foundations of that problem the theoretical methods of generalisation, scientific analysis and synthesis were implemented. Corresponding software was used to process empirical data and to conduct analytical calculations. Analytical processing of information was engaged to solve the problem of scientific analysis of the events as a holistic phenomenon.

Реінтеграція ветеранів гібридної війни: особливості вимірювання та характеристика рівнів реінтеграції

The article examines the results of research into the process of reintegration of veterans of the hybrid war in the conditions of modern Ukrainian society. Special attention is focused on the characteristics of the areas of work on reintegration and the levels of implementation of interaction. Methods of measuring the effectiveness of reintegration activities are also proposed. The results of an empirical study conducted using the test methodology “WHO Quality of Life (WHOQOL) – 100” are presented, which reveals the subjective assessment of a veteran’s quality of life in various areas of its manifestation. The possibility of using diagnostic results in planning and adjusting the reintegration program is outlined. The purpose of the article is to determine and analyze the features of the social reintegration of hybrid war veterans by measuring and characterizing the levels of their integration in modern Ukrainian society. To achieve the set goal, a number of tasks were solved: an analysis of the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the research problem was carried out and, based on the generalized experience, to substantiate the leading provisions of the reintegration of veterans as a social process; the conformity of the defined areas of social work with veterans to the basic needs of this category of citizens was analyzed; the components of social work with veterans of the hybrid war and the main levels of its implementation are defined and substantiated; methods of measuring the effectiveness of reintegration of veterans at different levels of implementation of activities are proposed. Implementation of the set tasks was achieved by using a complex of theoretical, practical and statistical research methods. The scientific novelty and theoretical significance of this study lies in the study of the features of measurement and characteristics of the levels of reintegration of veterans of the hybrid war in modern Ukrainian society with the help of socio-psychological diagnostic tools. The conclusions indicate that according to the basic needs of veterans, the leading directions of reintegration activities are social-legal, social-medical, social-pedagogical and psychological-social, which are implemented at the personal, institutional and state levels. The possibility of using the “WHO Quality of Life (WHOQOL) – 100” method as a diagnostic tool for the current needs of veterans and determining the directions of reintegration work has been confirmed.

MILITARY STYLE DESIGN AND ITS IMPACT ON HUMAN SELF-REALISATION

The statement of basic materials. Military style design can evoke feelings of power, authority, and discipline, as well as detachment, conformity, and violence. In this context, the role of the military component in modern Ukrainian society is justified. It is urgent to study the critical and ethical understanding of the use of design in military style and its potential consequences for human identity and well-being, taking into account historical and contemporary examples, as well as the diverse contexts in which it is applied.

Sociálna činnosť ukrajinskej gréckokatolíckej cirkvi v ukrajinskej spoločnosti: trendy a vyhliadky

The main directions of social activity of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church are revealed in modern Ukrainian society. The influence of the Church on the formation of the system of moral and ethical values of the society and its role in overcoming the spiritual crisis in the conditions of globalization processes of the postmodern society. It is proved that the decisive role in the search for answers to the civilizational challenges facing Ukraine and its culture undoubtedly belongs to the Church, education and science as the universe that connects all spheres of human being. The social activity of the Church indeed directs life processes, ensures the formation of the young generation of Ukrainians with harmoniously developed intellect, inherited experience, moral principles and values. The author of this article highlighted that the war in eastern Ukraine, the economic crisis, pervasive corruption, failed social reforms, poverty, and the endless transformation of Ukrainian society have led to many social problems and daunting challenges for the Christian churches in Ukraine. The development of social thinking of religious organizations, the search for the spiritual meaning of the development of society, effective social work, and the spiritual and moral health of society are the most important, key areas of Ukrainian society in the conditions and context of globalization.

Формування моральної свідомості студентів закладів вищої освіти в умовах сучасних трансформацій українського суспільства

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical aspects of the moral consciousness formation of higher education institutions’ students in the context of current military aggression in Ukraine. The authors prove the relevance of the outlined problem that is determined by the main contradictions of our time. The researchers reveal the essence of the phenomenon of “morality” as an evaluative and imperative way of mastering reality, which regulates human behavior in the concept of “the good and evil” and as a way of spiritual self-determination of a person; “moral consciousness” as a medium of reflection the main principles and norms of morality in human minds that regulate the human relationship as well as their attitude to society, from the standpoint of internalization of public moral concepts and values, cognitive and evolutionary concept and activity approach. It is identified a four-component structure of moral consciousness (cognitive, worldview, emotional and behavioral components) that based on the individual’s activity in various activities. It is emphasized that all structural components of moral consciousness work as one. The issues of the formation of university students’ moral consciousness are characterized, including such as the peculiarities of the situation of age development, the leading type of activity and the social situation in modern Ukrainian society, which poses a number of difficult choices and moral tests for nowadays young people. The qualities of students’ mature moral consciousness at the present stage are defined. Among them are: communication skills, management of their own behavior, skills of making responsible decisions, high level of consciousness, ability to navigate in difficult life circumstances. Prospects for further research in terms of searching and theoretical substantiation of effective pedagogical conditions for the formation of moral consciousness of students in higher education institutions are outlined.

REVIEW OF THE COLLECTIVE MONOGRAPH "POPULATION OF UKRAINE. ESSAYS ON THE DEMOGRAPHIC STATE OF UKRAINE IN THE FIRST THIRTY YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE"

The monograph "Population of Ukraine. Essays on the Demographic State of Ukraine in the First Thirty Years of Independence" is a significant contribution to the study of demographic processes that took place in Ukraine during the period of formation of the new Ukrainian statehood. Introducing a systematic approach to the analysis of population dynamics, its structure, trends in marriage and family processes, birth rate, mortality, migration processes and socio-demographic policy, the authors reveal a comprehensive picture of the country's demographic landscape. The relevance of this monograph is obvious, as it analyzes important trends and challenges faced by modern Ukrainian society in the context of demographic development. In particular, the authors consider in detail the impact of regional economic difficulties and socio-political changes on demographic processes. They draw attention to the importance of improving the demographic policy and developing strategies to preserve the health of the population. The special value of the monograph is that it not only analyzes the past, but also makes scientifically based forecasts of the future development of events. Analyzing new demographic indicators, the authors try to determine possible prospects for the development of the population of Ukraine. The cruel, unjustified war unleashed by the aggressor country in Ukraine is the most painful stage of recent national history. In this context, the pages of the monograph are important, where the impact of the war and political crises on the demographic processes unfolding in the country is considered.

СУСПІЛЬНО-ПОЛІТИЧНА ОБСТАНОВКА В КРИМУ НА ПОЧАТКУ РОСІЙСЬКОЇ АГРЕСІЇ В 2014 РОЦІ

The article analyzes the socio-political situation in Crimea in 2014 at the beginning of the Russian armed aggression. The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to study the methods of hybrid warfare used by the Russian aggressor against Ukraine. At present, there is no doubt in modern Ukrainian society that the seizure of Crimea was another aggressive act of the Russian Federation on the way to unleashing an insidious war aimed at eliminating Ukrainian statehood. In early 2014, Russian special services organized illegal anti-Ukrainian protests in Crimea, supported by local collaborators. Pro-Russian sections of the Ukrainian local population, with the support of the Russian military and special services, seized administrative buildings of local authorities, blocked Ukrainian military units and obstructed the work of law enforcement agencies. The leading role in those destabilizing actions belonged to Russian curators, and local collaborators did not deny their secondary role. With the assistance of the Russian special services, local collaborators managed to hold an illegal so-called «referendum» on the separation of Crimea from Ukraine, which was a political method to legalize actions to destroy Ukrainian statehood in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. All of the above took place in the context of a complete loss of control over the socio-political situation by local authorities and law enforcement agencies and complicated involvement of Ukrainian military forces. Despite Ukraine’s efforts to stabilize the situation through political means, the Russian Federation did not take appropriate measures and continued to act as a destabilizing factor in Crimea. The subsequent events of 2014 demonstrated that the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea led to an escalation of social tension in the southeastern regions of Ukraine, which subsequently led to an open armed conflict in Donbas.

СУЧАСНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ СОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНОЇ ТА РЕЛІГІЙНОЇ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА

The study of human problems in the modern socio-cultural space presupposes a comprehensive consideration of many aspects of hisexistence in the context of spiritual and religious values. Now, this problem is actualized also because the process of formation of an internally moral and undoubtedly multifaceted worldview-wise person takes place at the same time as the contradictory process of formation of modern Ukrainian society based on the principles, principles and values of the civilized world. The juxtaposition of two components, spiritual and religious, in the context of the study of values involves a processual analysis not only of mastering, assimilating and appropriating the surrounding reality, but also, most importantly, that mastering itself is a form of manifestation of a person as a spiritual being, his self-determination, self-identification. The formation of a special system of values is an important component of the human essence, which is not based on the idea of opposing the flesh, but on the activity of a person's moral will. If a person acts, then he reveals his subjective will in the existing being. Manifestation of human will be its average desires, which are expressed in the essential, substantial characteristic of the act itself. Therefore, the article focuses on the analysis of those values that are directly contained in the events that have taken place, are taking place, or will take place in the modern socio-cultural space of Ukraine. The formation of the modern Ukrainian national worldview is not possible without the presence of a moral component, since morality is an integral element of the existence of the Ukrainian people. Therefore, there is a full right to state this problem as a problem of the spiritual world of man, because the concept of "moral" is closely related to such aspects of human existence as: ontological, metaphysical, epistemological, psychological and finally religious. Of course, when forming a national worldview, one should also take into account one's historical past, in order to avoid troubles in the development of modern Ukrainian society. Due to the belated awakening of the "democratic revolution", the modern Ukrainian state has somewhat lost interest in religion and its effects on citizens and especially the youth. Therefore, the human problem in the socio-cultural space of modern Ukraine must be solved on the basis of new civilizational, moral and ethical principles and principles, including the principle of tolerance in relations with other people and nations. Because tolerance is not ordinary "patience", but primarily understanding, respect for others through self-respect and, of course, compassion and mercy.

СТАНОВЛЕННЯ ПОЛІТИКО-ПРАВОВОЇ АКТИВНОСТІ МОЛОДІ В УКРАЇНІ

The article analyzes the formation of political and legal activity of youth in Ukraine. The main forms of youth political activity are characterized. Considerable attention is paid to the characteristics of the mechanisms and tools of youth participation in the formation and implementation of youth policy. On the basis of the analysis of the legal framework of youth policy, conclusions were made regarding the main trends and specifics of youth participation in political processes, which is expressed through the activities of various public organizations and movements. The purpose of the publication is to study the process of formation of political and legal activity of youth in Ukraine and the role of the state in its formation and development. The methodological basis of the study is based on the use of philosophical, general scientific methods, methods of a systematic approach to analyze the ways and means of forming the political and legal activity of youth, in determining the socio-political situation of youth in Ukraine. The structural-functional approach is used to determine the functions of political activity in the conditions of the transition of society from an authoritarian to a democratic political system. The institutional approach is used to analyze the interaction of the process of political and legal activity and the political system of society, where political institutions, political parties, and public associations play the main role. The normative-value approach was embodied in the analysis of the system of political values, their formation and role in the process of political socialization of the young generation. The scientific novelty of the publication lies in the comprehensive analysis of political and legal activity of youth in Ukraine and its significance for political and socio-economic development. Conclusions. Youth is a dynamic component of modern Ukrainian society. Since young people have to implement the reforms initiated by the state, the state, determining the ways of formation and development of society, focuses primarily on young people, whose potential and knowledge can become a guarantee of progressive development. The political and legal activity of youth is aimed at the formation of a young person who positions himself as a responsible person who respects the rights of other people; is tolerant of political, moral, aesthetic, worldview orientations and preferences; shows a desire for such forms and directions of activity that would consolidate social efforts, make the life of every person meaningful, civilized and promising; is active in the political and legal sphere. Despite the difficult political, economic, and social situation in the country, the public structures of the youth movement are actively developing, preserving their historical traditions, roots, occupying an appropriate place in the political system of society and have now acquired a rather clear outline and certainty, which is due to the presence of support and the implementation of an active policy from the state and local authorities.

Теоретичні засади та практичні завдання оптимізації політичної системи сучасного українського суспільства

The article deals with the need to further improvement of the functioning of the political system of modern Ukrainian society. The relevance of this task is determined by the severity of manifestations of opposition from higher authorities. Today, there is a rather complex and contradictory system of relations between the institution of the head of state and the supreme bodies of all branches of power in Ukraine. The most acute contradictions have developed in the executive branch, which are manifested primarily in the relations between the Office of the President of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The author substantiates the objectively existing need to develop new theoretical foundations and define practical tasks for modernizing the political system of modern Ukrainian society. At the same time, the author prioritizes measures to harmonize the foundations of a particular form of government with the most effective practices of organization. The author emphasizes that there are a number of contradictions inherent in the regulatory framework, which significantly complicate the organization of interaction between the supreme bodies of all branches of government. It is emphasized that the process of further development of the political system of Ukrainian society requires a thorough restructuring of the regulatory framework for the organization and functioning of the leading political institutions of modern Ukrainian society. First of all, improvement of the regulatory framework for interaction between the branches of power in Ukraine should be aimed at overcoming the manifestations of power dualism enshrined in the powers of all supreme bodies of state power. The author substantiates the tasks of regulatory support for the main directions of optimization of the political system of Ukrainian society through a more complete implementation of one of the classical forms of government.

DIFFERENTIAL APPROACH IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

The stages of the future physical education teachers career formation in the Ukrainian higher education system are analyzed, the content and structure of the future physical education teachers career formation are defined and proved; the most essential directions in improving the content structure of sports and teacher education are highlighted.
 Social and political processes taking place in the modern Ukrainian society show that the faster it moves through scientific and technological progress, improving the welfare of citizens, the more significant is the question of formation the spiritual, mental and physical health of the future teacher, in particular the specialist in physical education. However, in addition to acquiring profound professional knowledge, specialist in physical education should be able to demonstrate his citizenship position and defend the public interests, build and assert personal relationships, self-assert in the process of professional activity, and fully meet the level of modern requirements imposed by new social and economic conditions of modern Ukrainian society. The concept of «pedagogical conditions» is extensively used in the dissertations on the problems of future specialists’ professional training, and therefore it is considered to be appropriate to conduct a deeper methodological analysis of the phenomenon.
 Analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature indicates that the formation process of any skill can be effectively realized only under certain conditions that reflect its essence and specificity. It is well known that any science as a special form of thought, awareness of a sphere of objective reality has its own peculiar categorical apparatus.
 There are many scientific approaches to the interpretation of the term "condition". In philosophical dictionary, the term "condition" is considered as a factor (Lat. Factor), that is the driving force, the reason of any process.

The communicative potential of multinational communities to counter destructive ethno-rumors in modern Ukrainian society: a socio-political analysis

The aim of the study was to provide a sociopolitical analysis of approaches and means to engage members of multicultural communities in active participation to counteract the effects of destructive ethnic rumors and build their own spaces for coexistence. The need for sociological research on the effects of rumors is highlighted by the importance of finding means to counteract their manipulative use for destructive purposes. The empirical research method used was a questionnaire survey with the aim of creating new opportunities for interaction between people of different backgrounds, for the sake of harmony and exchange of experiences and thus being able to establish partnerships between the cities participating in the Intercultural Cities Network of Ukraine (ICC-Ukraine). It is concluded that the research allows us to affirm the effectiveness of using the method of counteracting ethnic rumors "Antitumor" proposed by the program "Intercultural Cities" of the Council of Europe in Ukraine, as a systemic means of solving the problems of communicative interactions in multicultural communities.

ФОРМУВАННЯ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОМОВНОЇ ОСОБИСТОСТІ МОЛОДШОГО ШКОЛЯРА НОВОЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ШКОЛИ У СВІТЛІ ІДЕЙ ІВАНА ОГІЄНКА

In the conditions of modern Ukrainian society, the primary school teacher faces the problem of acquiring the spiritual heritage of his nation and using it in the process of formation of junior pupils’ national-language personality. In this regard, the question of learning the scientifi c heritage of Ukrainian scientists of the past and present is of great importance, especially in the process of New Ukrainian school development. Among the important and bright outstanding fi gures in Ukrainian culture and pedagogy, Ivan Ohiienko, known as a prominent fi gure in science and education, takes a special place. His scientifi c works contain a number of recommenda-tions and advice on the content, forms, methods and means of education, the use of which will contribute to the improvement of the primary education system. According to Ivan Ohiienko’s ideas, the tasks of primary education are realized fi rst of all through learning and understanding of the native language, history and national traditions.I. Ohiienko believed that only a competent teacher, aimed at self-improve-ment, can properly ensure the intellectual and spiritual development of the young generation. The teacher occupies a central place in the pedagogical process in the case of the pupil’s positive attitude to him, and aff ects the child’s consciousness, subconscious and feelings. Modern teacher has to rethink his own position in the educational process, update his professional thinking, focus on self-education and systematic analysis of his own teaching activities, tracking the eff ectiveness of their work through a monitoring system. The new teacher should teach children activity, teamwork skills, when they can complement each other, stimulate their self-development and self-improvement.

ГЕНДЕРНА ТЕРМІНОЛОГІЯ В ПРОЄКЦІЇ НА ПРАЦІ ІВАНА ОГІЄНКА

Modern Ukrainian society strives for the formation of gender equal rights for men and women, which should be manifested at the level of social needs, as well as at the level of consciousness. The living word is a mirror that projects a verbal refl ection of a person’s intellectual level, his emotional and mental state, which passes through all the fi lters of consciousness. It is also important to skillfully and appropriately use terms, tokens, and understand the lexical structure of the language. The concept of feminine/masculine is the subject of scientifi c studies in the aspect of linguistic, literary, sociocultural, biological, etc. Scientists distin-guish the represented opposition from the opposition of female/male, or identify these oppositional pairs. Pavlychko S. confi rms that the sex/gender pair cre-ates an opposition that contains a radical diff erence between the two members. Gender does not always follow sex, the body of a man or woman does not neces-sarily correspond to the cultural construction of «woman», «man». Summarizing her statements and researching the works of I. Ohiienko, we come across the terms of the word-forming series related to femininity. Femininity is a larger dimension, of which certain gender stereotypes are a part, because femininity is an ethical-aesthetic category that denotes the personal, aesthetic, and socio-psy-chological qualities expected of women by culture and describes the normative standards of the ideal woman. We present the following comments in the article: comments by Ivan Ohiienko regarding the state of the Ukrainian language and the idea of femininity in it; Professor Ivan Ohiienko writes about the evolution of the genus category; Ivan Ohiienko uses the borrowed term “feminize” and explains it as the Ukrainian equivalent of «ozhinochyty» (to make feminine); Ivan Ohiienko uses and describes the term «law of feminization»; Ivan Ohiienko, having studied gender pairs in natural language, points out that the process of feminization of language occurs much more often than masculinization; Ivan Ohiienko comments on the spelling of 1945, which forcibly stopped the process of feminization (making feminine) of the genus in the Ukrainian language; in the book «Ridna Mova» («Mother Tongue») a separate section is devoted to the description of the role of women in Ukrainian society; a woman, according to the scientist Ivan Ohiienko, has a duty to speak her native language. A woman in the works of Ivan Ohiienko appears socially signifi cant, which causes the actu-alization of the problem of researching the derivational subsystem of nouns with the modifying meaning of the feminine gender (feminitives) in the Ukrainian language and a certain objection to their normative use in the modern Ukrainian.

Levko Bykovskyi’s Training Concept of Library Specialists

Problem statement. Modern Ukrainian society is changing as a result of irreversible demographic, intellectual and cultural losses. The tasks of reconstruction and development of the country cause new challenges for the educational, scientific and industrial sectors. Resistance to Russian expansion requires innovations in information activities too. The transformation of the public role of library institutions is observed. There is a need to transform libraries into modern socio-cultural institutions that fully meet today’s requirements of a society. The key to successful changes in the library industry is the improvement of its staffing and effective innovative management. This, in turn, requires a thorough analysis of the national and global experience of librarians.
 The purpose of the research is to study the curricula on book studies, bibliography and librarianship, which were used in Librarianship higher course for librarians at the Warsaw Public Library.
 The methodology of this study is based on a complex approach, that combines both general scientific and problem-specific methods. Among them there are methods of systematization, data processing, terminological analysis, generalization, as well as logical, descriptive, historical-genetic, and retrospective ones.
 The results. The curricula on book studies, bibliography and librarianship, used in Librarianship higher course for librarians at the Warsaw Public Library, are concluded according to a single principle. Each course contains a curriculum and a thorough list of literary sources, as well as methodological recommendations on the scientific organization of work, ergonomics, etc. The curricula are divided into content modules and thematic blocks. The authors assume that mastering the proposed curricula was a sufficient basis for the successful professional implementation of the course graduate.
 The scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive study of the dynamics of the library field development and the librarians training experience with the aim of borrowing the best elements of it into the modern educational process and abandoning unsuccessful methods.
 The practical significance lies in the attempt to focus attention on the training curricula for librarians at the Warsaw Public Library, developed by scientists of the Ukrainian diaspora, who in the period of the 20-30s of the XX century were the leaders of the library industry, since in the Soviet Union bibliography, like a number of similar educational courses, were in decline.
 Conclusions. The analyzed brochure, despite its small volume, is quite informative. Its author emphasizes the need to write a textbook on library science and at the same time points out its practical significance for the scientific studies of graduate students, the effective work of librarians and their managers. In addition to the idea of librarians at that time, the brochure indirectly gives us information about the life and activities of Ukrainians in emigration, as well as the level of development of the centers of Ukrainianism, in particular in the city of Kalisz, illustrates the relations between the scientific communities of the Ukrainian diaspora and post-Soviet Ukraine. Any scientific papers containing extensive bibliographic lists serve as reference points for scientific research activities since, unfortunately, library funds suffer irreversible losses after the horrors of war.
