Abstract

In recent years international cooperation of the Department of General Pedagogy and Preschool Education at Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University and partner departments at universities of Poland, Austria, Belarus, Germany, Belgium etc. has been expanding. Close contacts have been established between the universities. The main areas of international cooperation comprise joint research work; exchange of academic staff (research, participation in conferences); preparation of joint publications.

The attention has been focused on the implementation of joint research projects, scholarships, preparation of joint publications, exchange of teachers (classes, workshops) and senior academic staff (research, participation in conferences). Postgraduate students and teachers of the Department take part in international projects and scholarship programs. Their efforts are aimed at preparing projects and maximizing potential in talented youth. Overall, over the past years thirteen members of the Department of General Pedagogy and Preschool Education have received international scholarships, participated in international projects and academic internship programs. The international Polish-funded Ukrainian-Polish research project «Career Prospects for Pedagogy Graduates in Poland and Ukraine» has successfully been completed.

In recent years 12 collections of academic papers, 4 monographs in English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian have been produced. A number of studies have been conducted within joint projects and presented in joint Ukrainian-Polish research publications. The prevalent topics are history of upbringing and education, formation of national identity, theories and methods of education, training of teachers, issues of comparative pedagogy.

It is noted that the academics of the Department take an active part in organizing committees, submit and edit conference materials. The conference topics are varied and wide-ranging, sometimes circular. «Comparative Pedagogy in the Context of International Cooperation and European Integration» conference materials (2010, 2011, 2013, 2015) were published in seven collections of academic papers, a monograph «Modernization of Education in Modern World: Traditions and Innovations».

A promising area of cooperation with universities in Austria and Poland is the implementation of a number of educational programs.
