Primary School Teachers’ Attitude to the New Ukrainian School Reform

Abstract

The paper reveals the results of implementing the New Ukrainian School reform by analysing teachers’ attitude to transformation processes in the national education system, as well as motives that influence their professional activities. Having analysed a great number of scientific works and monitoring researches of the results of implementing the New Ukrainian School reform, the authors disclose the lack of diagnosing the results of functioning the new school according to these criteria. The narrative method is considered to be the effective one for studying the phenomenon. The scientific research on the approaches to its organising, made by foreign scientists, allows defining the most feasible ones for achieving the paper purpose – a narrative framework “I and New Ukrainian School”. It is developed as a Microsoft Word template and contains four content-structural blocks: general information about a respondent, the attitude to the teaching profession and the New Ukrainian School, personal experience, and prediction for the New Ukrainian School development. The qualitative and quantitative indicators of analysing the research results prove the positive dynamics in teachers’ motivation and the general effectiveness of the New Ukrainian School reform for the national education
