Intra-School Differentiation in Primary Education of Ukraine: Achievements and Disappointments

Abstract

The dynamism of modern social transformations is accompanied by the reform of the education sector, in particular of primary school. One of the priority vectors of this process is the differentiation of training, ensuring the individual educational trajectory of junior pupils’ development, taking into consideration their personal needs, interests and abilities. Therefore, it is natural to study the historical and pedagogical experience. Thus, in Ukraine of the 1970s­1990s the issue of the differentiation of training became actualized at the state level; the category of “differentiation of training” irreversibly entered into scientific circulation and spread in the educational space.
