Про парадигмальні засади реформи освіти в Україні

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of reform in higher education, which was performed in our country. The main aim of the article is to clarify paradigm principles, main purposes, and objectives of the reform being conducted. Attention is paid to the necessity not to destroy previous achievements in the sphere of education and to multiply them. It's underlined that cutting down humanitarian cycles and socially- oriented blocks will inevitably lead to spiritually poor personality with low potential of social activities. Western European countries' orientation on specialist and professional is the only one side of education, the other one is educational, which is spiritually enriching and a personality forming. The Western model can be defined as empiric-rational with the stress on professionalism. Its main task is to create a person-function, person of a wish.
