Burko O. Methods of Teaching the Baroque and Romantic Poetry on Lessons of Ukrainian Literature in Secondary School

The thesis represents a theoretical and experimental research of the problem of effective study of the Baroque and Romantic poetry by pupils of secondary school. In order to solve this problem, a pedagogical technology based on combination of theoretical, literature, psychological, and pedagogical principles has been proposed. The principles of ethnic conformity, dialogueness, problematicity, and individualization were chosen as the leading ones. The conceptual idea lies in successful learning of the Baroque and Romantic poetry by the pupils through the dialogical reading in the contexts of literature (Ukrainian and foreign literature), art (the Baroque architecture and sculpture, Romantic painting), and philosophy (moral and ethical ideal of the relevant epoch) by pupils. The teaching content covers literature texts, literary and theoretical concepts, models of the Baroque architecture and sculpture, the Romantic paintings. Stages and dominant teaching methods for each stage have been defined and a number of innovative teaching methods and types of lesson have been proposed. Algorithms for analysis and interpretation of the works have been developed and the appropriate visual reference points have been drawn.
