Conceptualization of domestic school development: philosophy, theory, practice (according to the «nev ukrainian school» projekt)

Abstract

The article analyzes the program-basic document "New Ukrainian School", which is not only conceptual but also practical and implementation. In particular, the document defines the groups of competencies that should be considered by the pedagogical community as a practical basis for teaching and education. This project envisages significant changes in the philosophy of education, the theory of modernization of its key areas and the branch in general, priority and promising steps to bring the education system in line with trends tested by world practice.

The document of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe identifies 8 groups of competencies, while the Project outlines 10 key competencies. It is worth noting that these competencies are the key ones, so their features are: multifunctionality, supersubjectivity, interdisciplinarity, multi-component, focus on the formation of critical thinking, reflection, defining one's own position. The concept recognizes their equivalence at all stages of learning. This means that each educational field (linguistic-literary, foreign language, mathematical, natural, technological, informational, social and health, physical culture, civic and historical, artistic) has the educational potential which is necessary for the formation of each key competence. This potential must be realized through the learning process of each subject or course. It is emphasized that the formation of the above competencies requires the use of technologies of modular developmental learning, problem-based learning, project methodology, interactive learning, including game technology, case technology, debates, public presentations, various types of training, critical thinking technology, etc. The prospect of further development of the outlined issues is precisely the development of specific initial, methodological, practical mechanisms for the implementation of these groups of competencies in national education.
