HISTORIOGRAPHY OF UKRAINIAN SCIENCE IN THE DIMENSION OF PEDAGOGICAL VIEWS AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES POLISH PERSONALITIES – IDEOLOGICAL INSPIRERS AND IMPLEMENTERS OF HEALTH-PRESERVING EDUCATION OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH

Abstract

Abstract. The relevance of the topic of the article is determined by the need to thoroughly comprehend the accumulated body of scientific works on the development of foreign pedagogical thought in Ukrainian pedagogical science. The purpose of the research is to carry out a structural and functional analysis of the sources of pedagogical biography implemented by Ukrainian researchers regarding the practical heritage of prominent Polish personalities who were initiators, promoters and implementers of health-preserving education of children and youth, to determine the information potential and features of these sources, to highlight the content of the personified direction of Ukrainian pedagogical comparative studies in this context. The following methods were used in the research process: source (bibliographic) heuristics; master data set method combined with the sampling method; content analysis; comparison; personalistic-biographical; knowledge system analysis method; comparative and contrastive. The conceptual tools (the term «historiography»; the essential principles of pedagogical biography as an important area of historical and pedagogical science of Ukraine) are updated, the historiographical dimension of studies on foreign pedagogical personalities is characterised. The idea that in the history of the development of the problem of human health-preserving a special place is occupied by individual figures who have significantly enriched this area of work and given it an appropriate direction is actualised. A content analysis of domestic historical and pedagogical studies devoted to the pedagogical dimension of solving this problem in foreign countries in general (N. Vasylenko, S. Kyrylenko, O. Liakh Porodko, V. Yefimova, T. Panychok, V. Kuksa, S. Tsioma, O. Dmitrieva, A. Biesiedina, V. Liulchenko, L. Klos, I. Turchyk, etc.) and in Poland in particular (A. Vykhrushch, I. Datsenko, I. Nestayko, T. Povalii, V. Strumanskyi, N. Filipenko, B. Cheredretska, V. Shatylo, etc.). The article analyses scientific articles, monographs and dissertations of Ukrainian scientists, which highlight the problem of health-preserving education of children and youth in a personalised format (T. Berezhna, H. Bilavych, E. Vilchkovskyi, R. Hakh, V. Herasymchuk, I. Zubrytskyi, S. Ishchuk, O. Karpenko, I. Mordvinova, M. Pantiuk, V. Pasichnyk, B. Savchuk, L. Slyvka, H. Tereshchuk, A. Tsos, M. Chepil, B. Shyian, O. Yankovych, etc.) It is stated that the historical and pedagogical segment of the works of Ukrainian researchers, which are considered as reflections on the problem of health-preserving education of children and youth in Poland, is filled with more and more new topics – dates, facts, events and, accordingly, personalities. At the same time, it is noted that the range of domestic developments that systematically cover the historical aspects of health-preserving education activities in Poland is very narrow, so it is too early to talk about significant results. The article identifies a promising field for further research in the field of pedagogical biography.
