This year, Oksana Dudnik, assistant of the Department of Preschool and Primary Education, prepared a thesis on the topic: “The system of pedagogical tasks of contextual orientation in the professional training of a future teacher of primary classes” (scientific adviser is Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Prof. V.V.

This year, 667 people were enrolled in the Educational and Research Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology: 366 on the bachelor’s degree and 311 on the master’s degree. Among them are 96 combatants who defended and continue to defend the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Therefore, on September 1, at the festive event, first-year students camped for almost the entire length of the university square.

It was a pleasant moment – awarding of students of the IPP for active and conscientious work in the admission committee, which not only provided more than 50% of its membership, but, unlike students of other institutes and faculties, reached the end of the admission campaign without leaving their jobs, providing intake of students for the entire University.

In addition to the all-university event, curatorial hours and excursions along the territory of the university and the city of Starobilsk were held at the institute, as well as a meeting with first-year students in the assembly hall. The Director of the Institute, Doctor of Education, Professor Olena Karaman told students and parents about the history of the University and institute, the achievements of teachers and students both in their entire history of existence and in conditions of evacuation.
