Abstract

The pedagogical and psychological views of the Ukrainian educator   V. O. Sukhomlynskyi, well-known throughout the world, and their use in the process of of the New Ukrainian School concept realization are considered in the article. In today’s context, the professional activity of a teacher has undergone a significant transformation and is dependent on socio-cultural changes in Ukraine. The psychological and pedagogical system in Pavlysh secondary school, in the center of which the child is a unique personality, enriched science with innovative ideas, significantly expanded educational practice, is a kind of a modernization stage in the national education development and deserves its use in the pedagogical education. The role of postgraduate education as an independent link in the educational psychological and pedagogical process, has especially increased in the context of the New Ukrainian School ideas. According to V. O. Sukhomlynskyi, pedagogical and psychological culture represents a certain degree of the teacher’s socio-cultural experience of humanity mastery, deep knowledge of the methodology and the ability to use it in practice through innovative forms in the educational process. He was convinced that high psychological and pedagogical competence was an integral part of the teacher’s professional culture. The innovative approach of V. O. Sukhomlynskyi to solve this problem with the pedagogical staff of Pavlysh secondary school is reflected in the organization of the psychological seminar, as well as the psychological commission. The New Ukrainian School concept advances requirements not only to the educational system, but also to the teacher himself. The concentrated expression of these requirements is innovation, a constant desire to work in the chosen profession, to show creativity, to research, to use new methods in the practice of educational institutions work. V. O. Sukhomlynskyi, by his own scientific and practical activity as a principle of a rural school which became the world laboratory of innovative use of pedagogy and psychology, left relevant tips on managing the educational process on a psychological and pedagogical basis in the New Ukrainian School context.
