Abstract: This peer review analyzes the monograph published in Ukraine by Professors N. P. Lebedik and V. F. Morgun “The creation of full-time hub school as an educational complex". The work continues the traditions of the graduates of Poltava School of Pedagogy A. S. Makarenko, V. A. Sukhomlinsky, I. A. Zyazyun. The book offers the original variant of the model of an educational complex “A Full-time Boarding School”, and describes the normative legal, organizational-methodological and diagnostic approaches towards creation of such schools. The book is characterized by elaboration of all aspects of the school life: from detailed description of schedule to the options of school menu. The novelty of the proposed model consists in the following: a) the original unchangeable schedule of classes for the school day; b) nonstandard variants of organization of extended activities; c) models of combining different types of educational institutions; d) authorial outlook upon the arrangement of pedagogical activity in the cognate pedagogical systems. Particular attention deserves the proposed comprehensive diagnostics of social maturity of students as the integral indicator of school performance. Special place is held by description of the original health-saving invention of one of the authors – anti-scoliosis desk for either sedentary or standing work.

Keywords: diagnostics of social maturity, the schedule calls, additional education, general secondary education, educational complex, full-time school, school production, methodological work of teachers, educational system, boarding school

Abstract: This peer review analyzes a monograph “Pedagogical Skill in Russia: history, theory, practice (mid XVIII – XX centuries” by L. A. Milto published in Ukrainian language in Kiev (2008). The goal of peer review lies in familiarization of the Russian language experts in the area of history of education and national pedagogical thought with a new perspective upon the development of pedagogical practice in Russia for the period of two and a half centuries. Modesty of the edition (300 printed copies) and language of publication makes the book virtually unreachable for the Russian audience. The review of the presented monograph is carried out in the context of retrospective analysis of the entire Ukrainian scientific school of pedagogical art. It is underlined that this research represents a worthy development of ideas of the academician I. A. Zazyun. Novelty of the monograph consists in viewing the evolution of Russian education in the aspect of determination of pedagogical findings, approaches of pedagogical art of school teachers and university pedagogues. Of special relevance is the analysis of memoir literature on the lecturing skill of the prominent Russian professors of the XIX century and pedagogical activity of theatrical pedagogues, stage directors and actors of the early XX century. L. A. Milto’s monograph greatly contributes to the history of development of the national pedagogy.

Keywords: scientific school of Zyazyun, and pedagogical analysis, pedagogical creativity, pedagogical skill, pedagogical education, future teacher, teacher, periodization, practice of russian education, professor Milto
