Partnership pedagogy: practical experience of the eu countries and issues of implementation in Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose of the investigation is to study the concept of pedagogy of partnership in the EU and determine the implementation of Western experience in Ukraine on the basis of a sociological survey. The sociological survey was conducted among 400 teachers - practitioners representing different types of classes (NUS members, inclusive practitioners, smallnumbered schools, national minorities). It has been established that the key issues for the implementation of partnership pedagogy for NUS classes are the reluctance of parents to participate in school management; low level of “triangular” connection; low guarantee of understanding of the partnership-based educational approach. Respondents-teachers of national minority classes have identified the following problems, namely: prejudice against the minority; insufficient willingness of parents to help the educational process; reluctance of children to communicate. The academic paper indicates the lack of comprehensive research in the relevant field.
