Abstract

This study reveals the basic principles of creating an effective renewed educational space in the context of education reform in Ukraine and the creation of the New Ukrainian School. Modern educational environment means multifunctional flexible spaces that promote various forms of work, motivate to learn. An important factor in the renewal of the school is the creation of a modern educational space that will motivate the child to learn something new, stimulate different activities, and evoke positive emotions. Civic competence is one of the key skills enshrined in the Education Law in Ukraine. Along with the social, they are linked to the ideas of democracy, justice, equality, human rights, prosperity and healthy lifestyles, with an awareness of equal rights and opportunities. They include cooperation with others to achieve a common goal, activity in class and school life, respect for the rights of others, the ability to resolve conflict situations. One of the tools used by teachers to develop these competencies in primary school is the creation of “Class Rules” – the first “law” in the lives of first-graders. Creating a motivational educational space contributes to the principles of reforming primary and general secondary education and global trends: personality-oriented education, child-centeredness, competence and activity approaches.
