ЛІТЕРАТУРНА ПЕДАГОГІКА В СИСТЕМІ ОСВІТИ: ЗДОБУТКИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОЗВИТКУ У ХХІ СТОЛІТТІ

In the conditions of reforming all levels of education in Ukraine in the XXI century, changes in the content, forms and methods of educational fields, in particular language and literature, the issue of developing literary culture and consciousness of students, aesthetic culture, developing the potential, critical thinking and communication skills of students of education is becoming relevant. The article updates the conceptual apparatus used in the description of literary pedagogy in the educational sphere, which requires clarification and specification of the main terms and categories of the researched issue. Attention is focused on such concepts, terms and categories as "literary pedagogy", "literary education", "reading", and "reading competence". It was determined that in domestic and foreign science, the concepts of "literary pedagogy" and "literary education" are not sufficiently developed and established, they need to be specified and detailed taking into account the signs and characteristics of the components of the term, in some sources they are identified with each other. The concept of reading literacy is considered in the context of such skills as perception, analysis, and evaluation of texts to expand knowledge and develop reading potential. The relevance of the study and implementation of literary pedagogy in the educational process of general secondary education institutions in the XXI century in the context of the problem of the attitude of modern children and youth to reading is substantiated. A brief review of the development of literary pedagogy in the historical context of the development of society is carried out. It was found that literary pedagogy is a system of methods, means and techniques of learning, education, development and formation of personality throughout life with the help of literature. The prospects for the development of literary pedagogy in the context of the introduction of its methods, techniques and tools into educational practices, the introduction of an interdisciplinary approach, the role of literary pedagogy in the development of critical thinking, ethical competence and the general culture of education seekers are outlined.

PREPARATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS FOR BENEVOLENCE AND VOLUNTEERISM IN TIMES OF WAR

The Ukrainian education system today faces extremely complex challenges, including a full-scale war that has been ongoing since 2014. Despite Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian education system continues to actively develop. The purpose of this article is to analyze certain aspects of preparing future teachers for benevolence and volunteerism in times of war. Emphasis is placed on the need to address the challenges of professional preparation in the face of modern challenges, focusing on shaping future teachers as nationally conscious patriots and citizens of Ukraine. To cultivate such individuals, it is necessary to draw upon Christian morality, as Christianity serves as a formative factor that enriches and strengthens one's spirit. Benevolence and charity are principles rooted in Christianity, qualities that have been intrinsic to Ukrainian culture throughout history, and values that should be particularly pronounced in professionals. These qualities are nurtured through students' participation in various charitable activities, diverse forms of philanthropy, and volunteer work. The results of active volunteer activities by students of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University and Ivan-Frankivsk College of Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University lead to the conclusion that benevolence is being cultivated in them during their professional training in higher education institutions during wartime. This benevolent activity by students and teachers holds special significance in terms of support and assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), working with temporarily displaced persons' children, volunteer activities at the Gifted Child University, organizing master classes and sessions aimed at comprehensive personal development. Continuous support from the teaching staff and students in various forms of charitable activities, diverse forms of philanthropy, and active participation in volunteer organizations, among other efforts, attests to the widespread charitable movement in Ukraine, with educators and students at the forefront as volunteers and benefactors.

ПЕРСОНАЛІСТСЬКИЙ НАПРЯМ В УКРАЇНСЬКІЙ ПЕДАГОГІЧНІЙ КОМПАРАТИВІСТИЦІ (90-ТІ РР. ХХ – ПОЧАТОК ХХІ СТ.)

The article is focused on the problem of reflecting the personalist trend in Ukrainian pedagogical comparative studies of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It is emphasized that Ukraine's obtaining the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union (2022), the current challenges faced by Ukrainian pedagogical science and education, encourage the intensification of scientific research aimed at synchronizing Ukrainian education and science with European standards. In this context, Ukrainian pedagogical comparativistics is of particular importance, so there is a need for a deep and comprehensive study of the personalist direction of Ukrainian pedagogical comparativistics. It is considered an integral part of pedagogical biography. It is pointed out that, although in the era of restoration of Ukraine's independence, domestic scholars are actively studying foreign personalities, a significant layer of studies on cultural and educational figures abroad as integral scientific and pedagogical phenomena has not been fully clarified, so it is time to study their biographies, as well as the factors and conditions that contributed to their formation as pedagogical personalities, intellectual achievements, professional, pedagogical, educational, social, educational, scientific activities, and determination of their role in both national education and the development of world pedagogical thought. The author identifies generalized works in the field of Ukrainian pedagogical comparative studies that represent the development of foreign education and pedagogical thought in personalities, emphasizes the importance of the NAES of Ukraine, which has two comparative pedagogical structural units, in particular, the Institute of Pedagogy and the Institute of Pedagogical and Adult Education, and emphasizes the role of scientists of the Laboratory of Comparative Pedagogy of the Institute of Pedagogy of the NAES of Ukraine in the development of Ukrainian comparative studies. The conclusion is made about the need for a comprehensive study of issues related to the personalization of pedagogical thought abroad.

Методологічні засади формування музично-слухових уявлень молодших школярів у процесі фортепіанного навчання.

The article emphasizes that the state of modern music education in Ukraine and China requires the introduction of new methods aimed at forming musical and auditory ideas into the practice of teaching pupils’ in extracurricular art educational institutions. Taking into account the complexity and different ways, they are considered in the process of teaching and learning the piano on the basis of environmental, individually differentiated, reflective and creative activity approaches. The author points out some pedagogical principles: realization of the pupils’ personal potential, accentuation of auditory attention during the performance of a musical piece, aesthetic perception of musical works, focus of musical education on the development of the emotional and sensory experience of younger school-age children, encouragement to self-evaluation and personal adjustment of one's own games in accordance with the imagined image, the connection of musical education with national culture. Thus, the selected scientific approaches and pedagogical principles become the basis for using the necessary methods and techniques for working with elementary school-age children. Pedagogical conditions were also substantiated for effective musical education of younger school-age children: 1) selection of the most emotionally expressive musical works taking into account their pedagogical tasks; 2) the introduction of creative tasks aimed at the development of musical and auditory ideas of younger school-age children into the system of primary education of children; 3) orientation of musical and auditory ideas of younger school-age children in the mode of independent development. The step-by-step method covers in teaching and learning the piano of younger school-age children in three stages: emotional-developmental, reproductive-accumulating and communicative-creative. By their essence, these stages correspond to the content of piano learning in extracurricular art institutions and are correlated with certain structural components: motivational, emotional-reflective, active and creative-performing. The theoretical provisions developed by the author regarding the formation of musical and auditory ideas of younger school-age children are presented in the form of an organizational and methodological model, which includes the goal, tasks, principles, pedagogical conditions, structural components, stages, forms and methods. During testing in Ukrainian and Chinese specialized music institutions, it showed its effectiveness and feasibility in the process of teaching and learning the piano.

PROBLEMS OF STUDYING CHOREOGRAPHIC DISCIPLINES IN THE CONDITIONS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION

The article analyzes the process of distance learning of graduates of the Department of Choreography of Kharkiv National Pedagogical University named after H.S. Frying pans Factors affecting the formation of professional abilities of students with traditional and distance forms of education are considered. Introduction of distant education in Ukraine has been stipulated by objective demands of modern Society. Cause-and-effect relationships between teaching methods and the formation of pedagogical competences of choreographers-apprentices have been established. On the basis of the studied facts, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made regarding the improvement of the quality of the educational process of students of choreographic specialties during distance learning. Having considered the positive and negative aspects of distance education of students of the Department of Choreography of the Kharkіv National University, it should be noted that this form of education is effective, but only in a mixed format together with traditional education, along with the acquisition of professional practical knowledge, skills and abilities. There must be specially equipped rooms, but, unfortunately, most of the students do not have any. Moreover, there is a lack of motivation, self-discipline, and a lack of system as for gained knowledge. It is proved that the effectiveness of the distance format of professional training of future teachers of choreography during martial law depends on the level of studentsʼ motivation for learning and their self-organization. Self-organization ensures the studentʼs ability to plan and carry out their own learning activities in accordance with the priorities of professional training. It is motivation that is the driving force behind the studentʼs acquisition of the necessary professional knowledge and professional skills.
 It should be noted that this work does not cover all the issues related to the study of choreographic disciplines in the conditions of distance learning. This study requires further study and determination of the impact of distance education on the formation of competencies of students of choreographic specialties.

EDUCATIONAL, CHARITY AND MISSIONARY ACTIVITIES OF IOANN MAXYMOVYCH (1711-1715)

The life and activities of Ioann Maxymovych (1651-1715), a prominent church figure and writer, have repeatedly attracted the attention of researchers. A significant number of investigations are dedicated to his biography and creative works. Almost his entire life was associated with Ukraine. Ioann Maxymovych – educator, church figure, missionary, spiritual writer, Archbishop of Chernihiv and Novgorod-Siversky, Metropolitan of Tobolsk, belongs to the ranks of saints, enlightener of the peoples of Siberia, founder of the first higher education institution on the Left-Bank of Ukraine – Chernihiv Collegium. Spent the majority of his life working and living in Ukraine, only heading the Tobolsk diocese in Siberia during the last years of his life.
 The research is dedicated to the activities of Ioann Maxymovych, a talented ukrainian educator, enlightener, cultural and religious figure, missionary, and philanthropist. The article examines the last years of Ioann Maxymovych's life, which correspond to the period of 1711-1715. The study highlights the experience of his missionary and enlightening-philanthropic activities. The research emphasizes the importance of his efforts in the development of education and enlightenment (support and care for Slavic schools, financing and maintenance of libraries and the diocesan printing house, etc.) and missionary activities (ecclesiastical-diplomatic missions to preserve and spread the orthodox faith among the population).

STANDARDISATION AND CERTIFICATION OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN UKRAINE

The purpose of the study is to analyse the importance of standardisation and certification in the context of vocational education, as well as to study the dynamics and main challenges facing the Ukrainian vocational education system. To achieve the aim of the article, theoretical methods of cognition were used, in particular, methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, content analysis, induction, and comparison. The results demonstrate that further development of vocational education in Ukraine is impossible without systemic changes in the legislation governing the educational sector and other important regulatory documents, such as the National Qualifications Framework, the classification of professions, as well as documentation from the National Qualifications Agency, etc. Overcoming problems in this area, such as clarifying professional areas and making them compliant with modern requirements, as well as eliminating outdated professions that do not meet modern technologies and processes, are important for adapting educational documents and standards to the requirements of the modern world. In the process of developing new regulations in the field of vocational education, it is important to take into account existing international and European standards, which will allow Ukraine's European integration potential to be taken into account. A flexible response to changes in the labour market is also an important element of the reform. The conclusions note that harmonisation with European educational systems and finding resources for its implementation remains an important task, even in difficult conditions, including the military aggression of the Kremlin regime.

THE MODERN CONCEPT OF ADULT EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

The intensity of transformation processes and the significant pace of globalization in social relations development are increasingly creating new challenges for the educational system. As a result, they define the role of education as a crucial area that shapes the effectiveness of social and economic progress. Today, special attention is paid to adult education. It can be described by personalization of direction in development, close interconnection with other socio-political institutions, and the ability to increase Ukraine's competitiveness in all spheres (science, politics, economy, social sphere, etc.). The article aims to identify the peculiarities and key trends of adult education in Ukraine. Research goals also include identifying key factors of adult education in contemporary society, the fundamental principles of the development of this sphere, and the problems of adult education development as a structural element of the modern education system. During the research, descriptive, comparative, and analytical-bibliographic methods were applied to study the scientific literature on adult education issues. Systemic-structural, comparative, logical-linguistic methods, abstraction, and idealization were used to analyze and process data in the research area.

FUNCTIONING AND DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL AND EUROPEAN ADULT EDUCATION SYSTEMS:

In the imminent future, an accelerated aging trend is anticipated in certain professions, concomitant with the swift emergence of novel occupational domains. Consequently, there will be a heightened demand for fresh knowledge across diverse age cohorts. Adult education emerges as a pivotal mechanism capable of adeptly addressing this exigency. This study examines the evolving adult education frameworks in both Ukraine and Europe, delineating primary commonalities and distinctive attributes. Additionally, an evaluation of the impact of the European adult education system on the maturation of the national counterpart is undertaken. The findings reveal that the adult education system in Ukraine is grounded in the guidance provided by European counterparts in its developmental trajectory, concurrently aspiring towards autonomous and congruent rejuvenation. The delineated legislative and regulatory framework governing the operation of adult education within our nation underscores the imperative for enhancements in this educational domain. The necessity for the advancement of lifelong learning in Ukraine is underscored through a thorough examination of a sociological survey. The outcomes of this analysis substantiate the exigency to elevate public awareness concerning the phenomenon of adult education and to foster an appreciation for the systematic nature of its operation. The potential for the development of adult education in Ukraine appears promising; however, due to objective constraints, this potential has yet to be fully realized.

ADULT EDUCATION IN DENMARK: MODERN DISCOURSE OF LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT

Sustainable and rational adult education is now a crucial component of the European education system due to the demands of a modern, innovative workforce that must be highly educated and adaptable. This article provides a comparative examination of adult education contemporary situation in Denmark and Ukraine. The author’s research interests are in the sphere of the legal frameworks supporting the structural patterns, guiding principles, financing, and acknowledgement of Danish adult education. For the establishment of adult education policies in Ukraine, the Danish setting is essential because of Denmark's unique experience in developing a democratic adult training system that is a part of lifelong learning. In data collection for this study, the author has analyzed multiple legislative sources in European and Danish educational environments at various time points from 2000 to 2023. The conducted research demonstrates that the legal framework in the modern Danish environment encourages adult education in a way that shapes it into a very effective system. On the other hand, significant legislative, structural, and technological changes are needed for adult education in Ukraine, particularly in light of the ongoing aggressive war. This comparative study will contribute to a better understanding of the educational situation with adults in advanced European countries and will help to justify new approaches to the training of adult citizens in Ukraine.

DEVELOPMENT OF A FUZZY COGNITIVE MAP MODEL FOR CREATING STEM PROJECTS IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN ENGINEERING AND PEDAGOGICAL SPECIALTIES

The article examines the issues of STEM education development in the context of the strategy for the development of higher education in Ukraine for 2022-2032. In particular, the emphasis is on the importance of reorienting the educational process to the training of specialists in engineering and pedagogical specialties with practical skills and up-to-date knowledge. It is necessary to strategically rethink educational approaches, giving priority to the training of specialists in engineering and pedagogical specialties who possess not only theoretical knowledge, but also specific practical skills that meet the requirements of the labor market. Special attention is paid to STEM education, which is defined as a key tool in the formation of competencies for future specialists in the field of engineering and pedagogy. This approach involves not only the transfer of theoretical knowledge, but also emphasizes practical aspects, contributing to the development of specific skills and abilities that are necessary in practice. Dedication to STEM education in the context of engineering and pedagogical fields allows future specialists to be ready for the challenges and tasks presented to them by modern labor markets, and to meet the current requirements and standards in these fields. The technical orientation of STEM projects contributes to the implementation of practical tasks and the formation of skills in demand on the labor market. The purpose of the article is to present the algorithm for building a lighting control system prototype using the example of the STEM project “Lighting control system in the library”. For building a logical model, to justify the structure of the system, the NCC is used. The development of the STEM project “Lighting control system in the library” is presented, which involves the creation of a fuzzy cognitive map in the Mental Modeler environment. An algorithm for building a logical model for a STEM project under conditions of uncertainty has been developed and described. The basis of the built model is a cognitive map. A cognitive map is a symbolic directed graph, at the vertices of which the key factors of the object of modeling (concepts) connected by cause-and-effect relationships are placed. A cognitive map is a type of mathematical modeling used to formalize a complex system in the form of a set of concepts that reflect system factors and causal relationships between them, taking into account the nature of their interaction. Based on the analysis of the logical model of the system, it was determined that for each concept it is necessary to set the level of communication on the visual form of the Mental Modeler map, which allows you to set the level of assessment of its dependence. The paper presents a logical model on the example of a prototype of a computer lighting control system in a library using fuzzy logical derivation. Fuzzy cognitive maps were used to justify the structure of the management system. The sequence of building a prototype of the lighting control system in the library and the analysis of the parameters of such a system can be used by students of engineering and pedagogical specialties for the educational purpose of building various STEM projects. Cognitive modeling methodology is used for analysis and decision-making in conditions of uncertainty. It is developing in the direction of improving the situation analysis and modeling apparatus. Therefore, to implement a STEM project in ill-defined situations, it is advisable to build a logical model. It defines the structure of the modeled system. The basis for building this model is a fuzzy cognitive map.

Academic Mobility in the Conditions of Forced Migration in Wartime (experience of Ukraine)

Abstract Forced migration during the war led to significant changes in academic mobility in Ukraine. This challenge received a worthy response thanks to the support of Ukraine from the European Union, the USA and other countries of Western democracy: many Ukrainian students and professors received greater opportunities to study and work in European and Western universities in general. This article aims to identify the main threats to inclusivity and new opportunities to provide additional resources and educational space for the development of inclusivity, which is directly related to forced migration as one of the challenges to higher education in Ukraine during this war. The methodology of this article is a philosophical approach based on the use of interrelated concepts of challenge and response. The case study of challenges for academic mobility in Ukraine is used as well. Obstacles and limitations of academic mobility during the war appear to be partially overcome, thanks to distance education. The new opportunities that have opened up for the Ukrainian higher education system provide broad and strategic prospects for the deep integration of the Ukrainian higher education system into the European and world educational space.

Pedagogical Discourse on the Reform of General Secondary Education in Soviet Ukraine through the Prism of Child Protection in the 1920s: the Struggle against Unification

The article reveals the leading ideas of Ukrainian teachers and civil leaders (V. Arnautov, Ya. Chepiha, T. Harbuz, H. Ivanytsia, Ya. Riappo, M. Skrypnyk, O. Zaluzhnyi, etc.) on reforming school education for the sake of development and protection of a child in the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic (USSR) in the 1920s. It has been proven that after the defeat of the Ukrainian Revolution (1917–1921) and the capture of the territory of Ukraine by the Bolsheviks, the pedagogical discourse focused on the idea of creating a new labour school. It should be based on the following principles: labour, active, social education to protect the child, communist, the principle of Ukrainization and at the same time the imposition of Russification, etc. Ukrainian educators, looking for active methods of teaching children in a labour school, turned mainly to European and world pedagogical science (A. Binet, J. Dewey, F. Freeman, G. Kerschensteiner, E. Meumann, P. Natorp, F. Seidel, Ch. Spearman, W. Stern, L. Terman, E. Thorndike etc.). Pedagogical discourse was aimed at opposing the unification of school education according to the Russian model. The policy of Ukrainization was effective, so the all-Union authorities intensified ideological pressure, seeking to curtail this process. The struggle for the Ukrainian school ended tragically for Ukrainian teachers. This eloquently testifies to how the Soviet ideology during the reform used the ideas of social protection of the child, Ukrainization of the educational process to establish its own ideological and socio-political goals of the totalitarian society.

Modern challenges and prospects for the development of remote education: A systematic review of the literature

The events of recent years in the world and Ukraine (quarantine restrictions due to the pandemic and Russian military aggression) directly affect the format of educational services and create the need to introduce online education, which will guarantee all subjects of the educational process the acquisition of knowledge, preservation of life, as well as psychological and physical health. The research aims to conduct a literature review of the peculiarities of online education at the present stage in Ukraine and analyse its main advantages and disadvantages. As a result of a systematic analysis of the literature, the interpretation of the “online education” concept by various Ukrainian researchers and the peculiarities of online learning under martial law were analysed, and a detailed analysis of the main pros and cons of online education in Ukraine was carried out. The context of the new challenges (the coronavirus pandemic and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine) makes distance learning strategically important for ensuring the provision of educational services and preserving the physical and psychological health of all participants in the educational process. The study confirms the active development of online education in Ukraine, with important improvements in infrastructure, teaching materials and teacher training. The importance of online education in both normal and crises is substantiated, and its advantages and disadvantages are identified. The need to learn how to use these technologies while preserving the value of personal communication in education is emphasised. The studies of foreign scholars are analysed and a comparative analysis of education in crises abroad and Ukraine is carried out. It has been found that online education is a promising and necessary form of education, it is developing very actively and can respond quickly and successfully to the needs of society. The practical significance of the study lies in its contribution to the further development of the field of educational technologies and education reform in Ukraine

COMPETITIVENESS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE PROCESS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION OF UKRAINE

The modern higher education market poses the task for universities to ensure a strong competitive position. The relevance of the presented study is determined by the objective need for a theoretical understanding of the essence of global competitiveness of universities and the factors determining its formation, as well as a comprehensive analysis of state scientific and educational policy designed to increase the competitive potential of higher education in Ukraine in the context of European integration. The possibilities of using strategic marketing tools to assess the competitiveness of universities in the labor market and within the framework of the triple helix model, as well as assessing the attractiveness of universities for applicants are outlined.

European experience of dual education for future teachers in Ukraine

The aim of the research is to determine the effectiveness of the European experience of dual education in Ukraine for future teachers. The aim was achieved through the use of comparison, SWOT analysis, calculation of selectivity factor, effectiveness, correlation index. The comparison of dual education systems in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland was used to determine their impact on the effectiveness of education and employment. It was established that the experience of Germany is the most effective for acquiring the necessary practical skills (f_c=14.2). The dual system of Switzerland is the most favourable for employment (14.5), as it is aimed at adopting the practical experience of the most competitive institutions. It was established that the experience of Germany can be the most positive dual system for Ukrainian education (f_c=14.4) and Poland (f_c=14.2). SWOT analysis was applied to establish that the dual education system has greater advantages compared to traditional education. The practical significance of the research is the possibility of providing a dual system during the teachers’ training as a result of focusing on the favourable experience of Germany and Poland. The prospects for further research may be related to the comparison of dual education experience of European countries, America for Ukraine.

National theater in the aspect of M. D. Leontovych’s pedagogical activity in Tulchyn

Modern complex socio-economic and cultural processes of development of the country are directed at radical renewal of Ukrainian society. The promising gradual development of the latest currents in the field of primary education in Ukraine has always been an important step for the native music and pedagogical science, because in order to use new technologies in practical activities, scientists need to consider in detail, analyze, systematize and adapt the past pedagogical experience of outstanding Ukrainian teachers-musicians. The problem of using the means of theatrical art in the practice of the modern school, which, according to Leontovych, contributes to the formation of important life values and active aesthetic activity, especially in younger schoolchildren, is topical in today's education.
 Turning to the national traditions of the past experience of the theatrical aspect in the pedagogical activity of the teacher M. Leontovych is directed at the spiritual revival of the creative activity of the individual. The essence of the concepts of theatrical art, theatrical activity, theatrical play at school has been clarified; the main types of theatrical performances are given; the most used methods of stage adaptation are considered and the necessity of their use in classes is argued. Thanks to the universalism of the choral theater dramatization method, the teacher revealed the creative inclinations of students in the formation of individuality. Aspects of many creative studies on theatrical pedagogical activities of M. Leontovych require detailed study and innovative approaches in connection with current problems of music pedagogy, musicology, and music folklore.
 The use of the aspect of theatrical art in regular music classes had a significant potential for the harmonious aesthetic development, especially of younger schoolchildren. The teacher in practice proved the evolutionary significance of theater and choral pedagogy (which has an analytical and synthetic character) and revealed the possibilities of influencing the emotional and sensory sphere of the student, equating theatrical art to children's play. The highlighted methods of M. Leontovych show that during the play the independent expression of personality is mostly manifested, and with the help of the group nature of theatrical activity, the emotional impact is enhanced, which inextricably goes along with inspiration, joy, and a sense of unity for the sake of a common cause.
 Based on the analysis of M. Leontovych's pedagogical activity, it can be determined that the artist stood at the origins of children's theatrical choral art in Podilla at the beginning of the 20th century in the context of socio-cultural integration of Ukraine, but it has been proven a priori that the modern process of education is not yet sufficiently studied and needs further in-depth understanding
