In the second half of the XX century in the content, methods and forms of general and vocational training of young people there is a tendency towards practical orientation of teaching and learning, starting from the compulsory secondary school, the prevalence of ideas of pedo-centrism, pragmatism, maximum individualization of learning. Accordingly, new methods for modern Ukrainian education are being introduced: individual and group projects, trials and experiments. The amount of independent work is increasing, especially in the study of academic disciplines. The system of training of future teachers gradually establishes the principle of generalized vocational training as a basis for future work with any curriculum and school curricula; psychologization of education in the pedagogical establishments is observed.
