SPIRITUAL-DEPT METHODICAL HEURISTICS IN THE CREATIVITY OF V. SUKHOMLINSKY
Abstract
The article deals with V. Sukhomlynsky’s educational innovation, which is due to the unique and immeasurable depth of his spiritual world. He had in his heart a spiritual-transformative impulse that warmed and guided each child into the spiritual life. Therefore, V. Sukhomlynsky cannot be repeated, he can only be imitated, approached, and this is enough to be successful both as a scientist and a practitioner. It is about educating one’s self. This is the highest degree of spiritual transformation of the child. It is emphasized that educating of one’s self as a spiritual-transforming action has a complex and as yet unknown psychological structure. According to V. Sukhomlynsky, the central category is «wisdom’ as the unity of perfect thinking, perfect word, and perfect feeling. Moreover, V. Sukhomlynsky included the fourth component of «action» as a spiritual person’s activity to the abovementioned triad. As a result, the perfect inner world is combined with the individual’s perfect act, behaviour, life in the wisdom. The wisdom of the personality is the top of the value pyramid of V. Sukhomlynsky, which differs from the corresponding pyramid of A. Maslow, designed only for the average person.
- Sukhomlynsky focused on the highly transformative power of interpersonal relations. According to V. Sukhomlynsky, interpersonal relations must acquire signs of friendship, which has educational potential for spiritual worlds of children. This role of interpersonal relations will clearly manifest itself when they are mediated by socially meaningful activity, productive labour. This is the educational meaning of child labour.
