Abstract
The article offers an analysis of the main trends in the development of historical education as an important component o f the educational process in the higher school o f Ukraine at the beginning o f the 21st century. The problematic issues o f transformation in the sphere o f teaching o f historical disciplines at the present stage are determined. Separately, the specific characteristics o f teaching «History o f Ukraine» in technical universities are examined. The authors consider the modernization o f learning process in the institutions of higher education of Ukraine as a dialectic issue containing certain risks for humanities ’ component o f bachelors’ and masters’ preparation. Important stages o f this process were events o f 2009, 2014 and 2015. They demonstrated the fundamental divergence of views on the ways o f higher schools’ reforming in Ukraine of the most part of humanities’ academic community on the one hand, and state bureaucracy on the other. The public debate on the role of historical disciplines in the preparation o f modern graduates o f higher schools o f Ukraine revealed a number of pedagogical, didactical and methodological problems. Among these the challenge o f distinguishing between secondary and higher school courses o f «History o f Ukraine» was recognized. The subject o f intense discussion is the mechanism for the enforcement of the problem and dialogical methods to the teaching process o f the institutions o f higher education. In the end, it was made the conclusion that the aspiration o f the senior management o f the Ministry o f Education and Science o f Ukraine to cut back as short as possible schedule o f hours for humanities in the institutions o f higher education (especially in the technical and military universities) can have serious social and political consequences. Ignoring the importance of the discipline «History o f Ukraine» in developing o f the technical students ’ and cadets’ world view in the conditions of the «hybrid war» could become an essential precondition for losing the informational war by Ukraine. Authors bring to the attention that among the political elite of Ukraine dominate technocratic understanding o f term «information security». As a result, historical disciplines are turning into outsiders of educational process thus making it more difficult to consolidate Ukrainian society in the period o f the serious military-political crisis.
