GEOGRAPHIC EDUCATION IN LVIV REGION

Journal Title: Вісник Львівського університету. Серія географічна - Year 2015, Vol 49, Issue

Abstract

In the context of reforming secondary and high school education in Ukraine, the geographic education of the region and the country as a whole should be considered as a system that includes initial, basic, pre-professional and professional level. Currently, there is no overall picture of the status and trends of development of the various segments of geographic education in the Lviv region that are necessary to consider while constructing regional education policy. The article defines quantitative indicators of the subjects of the learning process in geography on various educational levels and in territorial aspect. This study reveals that during next five years, the best prospects regarding quantitative indicators will have basic geographical education, due to relatively favorable situation with the number of pupils in primary schools of the region. The article shows in detail the educational achievements of geography students at regional and national levels; points the centers for optimal development of geographic education such as Lviv, Drohobych, Sambir, Stryi, Chervonograd; and reveals scientific and methodological improvements of teachers of geography in the region. The research analyzes the contradictory trend between quantitative growth of professional sector of geographical education (opening of new regional university departments) and the needs of secondary school in specialists, and between socially conditioned restriction of employment of young professionals because of growing proportion of retired among teachers of geography. It was found that 65% of graduate students of department of geography at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv do not mind working in education and respectively can replace within 5–7 years all teachers of geography at pre-retirement and retirement age in the region. However, the lack of effective educational policies at national and regional levels prevents replenishment of school’s segment of geographical education by young professionals, and thus slows down the process of modernization of education and its real reform.
