Historical and Paradigmatic Development of Educational Processes in Ukraine: Author’s Substantiation

Abstract

The process of higher education development in Ukraine of the 19 – beginning of 21 century in the unity of academic, professionally oriented, vocationally-technological and humanitarian paradigmatic directions is founded. Major trends and characteristics of each of them are identified. It is proved that modern humanitarian pedagogical paradigm does not cancel the previous paradigms but ensures their implementation on a qualitatively new level. The development of higher education doesn’t occur in terms of leveling and replacement of existing paradigmatic direction by another one, but in the context of their coexistence, and in the condition of each next paradigm dominance on a new stage of society development.
