Philosophy for Сhildren in the Context of V. O. Sukhomlynsky's Pedagogical Ideas

Abstract

The main task of the modern educational process is to prepare the young generation for the challenges of modernity, to consciously and responsibly participate in a democratic system that encourages the citizen to make independent decisions, be capable of self-projecting and self-realization. Such transformations actualize the importance of the philosophical component in the education and upbringing of the youth and make it necessary to introduce the methodology "Philosophy for Children" into the content of school education, which is aimed at the formation of critical, creative thinking in the younger generation. In this article, the Philosophy for Children is described as a paradigm of reflective education, its methodological principles are defined, namely: teaching philosophizing, not philosophy; Problematic submission of philosophical knowledge; Transformation of the collective (group, class) into a "union of researchers" and organization of conversation on the principle of Socratic dialogue; Life material is used as a material. It is proved that the pedagogical legacy of the classical teacher V. Sukhomlynsky keeps many recommendations on the development of critical, creative thinking and correct judgments in the children of preschool and primary school age, the education of morality, personal responsibility, internal freedom. All the designs of Vasyl Alexandrovich remain relevant in today's hours, so the task is to study the pedagogical ideas of the scientist in the context of "Philosophy for Children" and the introduction of the results into the program of the modern Ukrainian school.
