RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PRECONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION OF LEADING PEDAGOGICAL STAFF OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines the historical and pedagogical preconditions for the formation of the system of postgraduate education of heads of educational institutions in the first half of the twentieth century. In the context of successive transformations in the system of postgraduate pedagogical education, the peculiarities of the historical period of the first half of the twentieth century in which the formation of the national system of postgraduate pedagogical education took place are revealed. It is substantiated that the process of development of postgraduate education of leading pedagogical staff is inextricably linked with the development of the entire system of postgraduate pedagogical education, and is a consequence of historical awareness of the importance of effective management of educational institutions on the quality of educational process. On the example of censuses of educators conducted in 1929-1933, a description of the quantitative and qualitative composition of teachers was given, including the level of professional training of management teachers to manage educational institutions. The main forms of professional development of teachers in the first half of the twentieth century are described, among which as such, which was of special importance for the professional development of school principals, correspondence pedagogical education is singled out, describing the are as in which training was carried out. It is concluded that the question of the need for effective management of educational institutions arose as a reaction to the gradual political, social and cultural changes in Ukrainian society and the state, which deepened the problems of development of the entire educational sector. And scientific rethinking in the middle of the twentieth century of the leading role of effective management of educational institutions and professionalism of the head becomes a prerequisite for separation from the general system of postgraduate pedagogical education of its important subsystem, aimed at continuous professional growth of management teachers.
