S.U. GONCHARENKO – THE GREATNESS OF PEDAGOGICAL SCIENCE (to the 95th anniversary of the birth)

The article is devoted to the analysis of the general approach to the study of the pedagogical heritage of eminent scientists of pedagogical science through the study of the classical principles, concepts, and laws put forward by them, which can be successfully used in today's pedagogical research on the example of the famous scientist Semen Ustimovich Honcharenko. In our opinion, academician of the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine, a native of Kirovohrad region S.U. Honcharenko. The formal supervisor of more than 80 doctoral and candidate theses and an order of magnitude more informal appeals to him with the help of scientists not only from Ukraine, but also from Poland, Slovakia, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. of states However, scientists know more about S.U. Honcharenko through his books, articles, sociological-pedagogical dictionaries and too little about him as a humanist, a scientist, his vision of the future of education in Ukraine, about the prospects for the development of pedagogical and methodological thought. The actualization of such direction is timely, especially in the times of current continuous education reforms. We can single out: at least 10 fundamental works of S.U. Honcharenko, which have become classics in pedagogical and methodical sciences; a striking example is the 6 educational and methodical manuals on methodology and teaching methods, which are a model for scientists. However, with the passage of time, the methodological problems of pedagogy initiated by the scientist, the formation of the methodological culture of the teacher, the work style of the organizer of scientific research, the method of teaching natural sciences, etc., are increasingly highlighted and remain understudied. Hence the relevance of the chosen research topic. The role of S.U. Honcharenko in certain methods of teaching as a science, primarily due to the signs of the presence of an object and a subject of research. The current reorientation of the school from the formation of the personality to the development and satisfaction of his cognitive interests and abilities under the multivariate models of education by no means rejects the key principles of the teaching methodology: What to teach? How to teach? How to study? Moreover, such a reorientation has no theoretical justification and experimental verification. The problem lies in the conditional maximum and minimum competence of a modern citizen of Ukraine.
