Integration of Education Entities in the Axiological Perspective as a Priority Task of the School

Abstract

The purpose of the study below is to show the essence of the integration of education entities around values. The basic problem is formulated by means of the following question: In what areas of school work is there an urgent need to integrate educational entities to fully fulfill the school’s functions, thereby building a space of an expanding axio­logical horizon. In the solution to the above problem, analytical and synthetic methods were used. The school should be perceived as an important subject of civic education. In this respect, the tasks undertaken by the school should focus on acquiring and transferring knowledge and civic skills to students through experience and practice of specific civic activities, or on solving social and local problems. An important task the school should undertake is cooperation with the socio-cultural environment. It should be done by inclusion of young people, inter alia, in the implementation of institutional programs or projects of socio-civic activity. The analysis shows the theoretical outline of social integration, paying attention to its types; showing priority tasks in the aspect of the integration of school entities. Three tasks were distinguished: integration around the implementation of the overarching goal of the school, integration for building an environmental school, integration supporting civic education.
