МІСЦЕ ПЕДАГОГІЧНИХ КУРСІВ У СИСТЕМІ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ УЧИТЕЛІВ ПОЧАТКУ XX СТОРІЧЧЯ

In the article the absence of required number of educational establishments of 
pedagogical area at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries has been revealed on basis 
of the pedagogical literature analysis and archive sources, the analysis of the activity 
of pedagogical courses created in the early XX century and interim pedagogical 
courses of Slobidska Ukraine within the bounds of the training of future teachers of 
primary educational establishments for teaching profession is carried out.
Though Pedagogical Institute aiming at training teaching personnel for the 
district secondary schools and giving the profound scientific and pedagogical 
training for the candidates for various teaching positions at higher educational 
establishments  was set up at Kharkiv University (1804) but the training of future 
teachers of primary and secondary schools was carried out in a spontaneous way. After the opening of the Department of Pedagogy in the Institute pedagogical 
disciplines were formed, scientific and pedagogical activity of the department’s 
members was carried out, treatises and educational textbooks were written.
However both Pedagogical Institute and the Department of Pedagogy were 
closed. During  1860-1867  pedagogical education in Kharkiv province was provided 
by Higher pedagogical courses with the two-year studying. University graduates 
were usually accepted as students of pedagogical courses and afterwards they taught 
their disciplines at higher educational establishments. 
On account of the  need to open a great number of public colleges in Ukraine 
the barest necessity for teaching personnel for those educational establishments was 
arisen. People not only without special pedagogical training but even without 
secondary education were appointed  for the position of a teacher. A lot of teaching 
positions were open. 
On the ground of September resolution (1900) of the Minister of public 
education pedagogical courses at public colleges for training young people to get the 
qualification of a teacher  of primary colleges were opened on the territory of 
Slobozhanshchina, where didactics and general pedagogy were obligatory to study 
besides the subjects and their methodologies.
