Abstract

The article is devoted to psychologisation as educational strategy in conditions for New Ukrainian school. It calls to move far out from traditional authoritarian system with its overloading and isolating pushes into neurotization. New school should be based on humanism, partnership, integrality. The author compares notions of psychologism and psychologisation; searches for points of link between psychologisation and conceptual basics of New Ukrainian school; structurally defines potential of psychologisation in postgraduate pedagogical education with concrete examples. Psychologisation is identified here as strategy for systematical realization by subject of some ideal model, which is constructed from affiliated social values and psychological notions. Subject can be considered as a person or a command. It is proposed to associate ideal model with psychological criteria of flourishing. In the article are shown few important points in the Concept of New Ukrainian school to which educational psychologisation appeals. They are: pedagogy of partnership, which is based on mutual respect between all members of educational process; motivated teachers who have got necessary stimuli for making integral leadership; direction to unique personality in order to satisfy each student’s needs; making bringing up process with values as integral educational stream; constructing of modern educational environment which stimulates creative resources in both - students and teachers. The author claims that educational psychologisation encourages professional educators to move from authoritarian communicational roles to horizontal partnership with considering both empathy and completing tasks as equally important tools for making flourishing. The link between the challenging uncompleted content of tasks and growing motivation for studying is obvious in interactive forms of study process. Psychologisation in postgraduate pedagogical education contains new research and methodical activity as well as using interactive forms of professional study.
