Cooperation of educational and social institutions in solving problems of the contemporary family

Abstract

In having the task of guaranteeing not only the survival but also the development of the younger generation, the family today is a priority of family social politics in Ukraine. Any society, regardless of the country, is interested in having families who not only provide material needs for the child, but also cultivate the child's cultural-educational level of development. Thus, the family, as a fundamental social institution of the development and formation of a personality, is one of the objects of current social pedagogy work in Ukraine. Taking into account certain negative elements of the process of globalisation and considering the current politico-economical situation in the country, scholars and pedagogy practitioners observe a sharp decrease in social communication interactions among family members and a change in social and family values, which in turn cannot positively enable the development and formation of the new generation. Then there follows an analysis of the role of including in the preparation of social pedagogues the benefits of a collaboration between educational and social institutions and thus providing up-to-date information on the on-going search and development of new approaches to solving the rearing issues of the contemporary family. ANALYSIS OF LATEST RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONSVarious aspects of collaboration between the family and social institutions have been researched by pedagogues, psychologists, and sociologists, among them: T. Aleksieienko, V. Kravets, I. Rybalchenko, V. Picha, Ye. Siavavko, P. Shcherban, and many others. Preparation of social-pedagogical professionals to resolve the issue of family upbringing has become the focal point of scholarly schools under the direction of O. Bezpalko, I. Zvierieva, A. Kapska, and others.
