Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the survey results of the students’ parents of studying on the conceptual basis of the New Ukrainian School. The survey of respondents was conducted as part of a Nationwide study of the implementation of the NUS Concept in general secondary education institutions through questionnaires, the results were processed and visualized using graphs and charts. The survey of parents of students focused mainly on the pedagogy of partnership, on what the student feels during lessons, whether he likes to go to school, what are the relationships with classmates and the teacher, and so on. The results of the research also showed what skills and abilities the student acquired after the end of the 1st grade and how the communication between parents and teachers took place during the school year. This study was conducted for the first time, so the collected statistical information will serve as a starting point for further monitoring studies on the introduction of the conceptual foundations of the New Ukrainian School in educational practice. Similar studies are planned to be conducted in the future, in particular to identify trends in educational reform. Among the main results of the survey should be noted the generally positive attitude of parents to the reform of NUS and its support. This is supported by the fact that most parents of students note the positive educational results of their children, the creation of a positive psychological microclimate within the educational teams, which contributes to student satisfaction with learning. Based on the analysis, it was found that there is no significant difference in the number of parents satisfied with the results of their children’s education, in terms of “village/city”. The conducted correlation analysis showed that the level of parents’ satisfaction with the results of students’ education does not depend on the degree of their awareness in the NUS reform. Also, according to the results of the research, no connection was found between the awareness of parents of students in the NUS reform and trust in the school/teacher; interaction of parents with the teacher on the child’s success and parents’ satisfaction with learning outcomes; parental responsibility for the child’s development and student learning outcomes.
