Ukrainian Folk Song Creativity as a Means of Education of Younger School Students in the Conditions of the New Ukrainian School

The upbringing of a comprehensively and harmoniously developed personality of a younger student in the new Ukrainian school is one of the most important tasks at the present stage of development of society, in which the enrichment of the spiritual world of the child involves the formation of creative potential and internal culture, ensuring the spiritual unity of generations. The upbringing of young citizens should be aimed primarily at the development of their humanistic feelings, the formation of national and universal values. Considerable attention is focused on the process of forming the personality of a junior high school student by means of Ukrainian folk songs, which are very deep in their wisdom and contain a huge educational, health and educational potential. Therefore, the revival of folk song culture is of great importance in the education of students of the new Ukrainian school. In the course of a theoretical analysis, the educational opportunities of Ukrainian folk art are determined. The necessity of focusing the attention of younger schoolchildren on the ideological didactic nature of a folk song is justified, because song folklore is a polysystemic means of personality formation, since it affects both the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and other spheres of a person, morally and psychologically sets him to work, and a successful theoretical and methodological the use of ethno-pedagogical means ensures the aesthetic development of students, a high culture of perception of various types of art. The pilot experiment made it possible to draw conclusions about the level of relations of modern elementary schoolchildren to Ukrainian folk songs, and determined the basic skills and abilities of students to use folk songs. The results obtained indicate the need to introduce such forms of work into the educational process of the elementary school that would deepen knowledge of the Ukrainian folk song, activate children’s interest in the origins of national song folklore through spiritual and practical activities. The proposed forms of educational work with primary school students, aimed at aesthetizing their relationship to Ukrainian folk songs.
