Abstract

Not only in Ukraine but also in the whole world pedagogical heritage of V. Sukhomlinsky is valuable, in particular, regarding the preservation of students’ health. Today, in Ukraine there is a rapid tendency of loss of health for schoolchildren as a result of the negative production factors of the educational environment. This makes the appeal to the ideas of a great teacher relevant. This article describes the conceptual ideas of V. Sukhomlinsky about preserving the health of students and defines their relevance in the context of modern theory and practice of secondary school activities. The relevance of V. Sukhomlinsky’s ideas for preserving students’ health in the context of the modern theory of activity of a comprehensive school was determined on the basis of the analysis of relevant literature sources. Determining the relevance of V. Sukhomlinsky’s ideas about preserving students' health in the context of modern practice of secondary school activity is based on the analysis of their own experience in school work and purposeful study of negative production factors of the secondary environment. Theoretical analysis suggests that V. Sukhomlinsky attached paramount importance to the preservation of student’ health. He demonstrated the relationship between the psychological, physiological and social components of the health of the students and provided specific recommendations for their preservation. Practical analysis suggests that in today’s school, the health of students is not given enough attention. And the effectiveness of teacher activity in preserving students’ health is evaluated mainly by the availability of appropriate measures in the educational plan. The relevance of V. Sukhomlinsky’s ideas about preserving the health of schoolchildren and the lack of their implementation in the present conditions are revealed.
