Urgency of the research. Modern education is an important resource with the potential to ensure innovative development of society. For this purpose, the development of education should be proactive, which requires the implementation of new technologies for managing educational institutions. Coaching is a modern way to introduce changes in the management system.
Target setting. For the development of preschool education to be ahead of the curve, an innovation must be introduced that will cover the education system as a whole. The innovation should include mechanisms and tools for regulating the system of relations, communications and interactions between managers and employees, and all participants in the educational process.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The methodological foundations for the development of coaching in Ukraine were studied by V. Brych and M. Nagara. They defined coaching as a converged management style. In the education system, coaching is studied in the field of higher education (V. Zelenin, O. Antoniuk), training of educators for preschool education institutions (T. Fasolko, A. Kovtun, T. Guzhanova, L. Ostapko, Y. Semenyako), postgraduate education (V. Sydorenko), inclusive education (T. Skrypnyk, K. Biriukova). The principles of coaching implementation, the positive impact of pedagogical and educational coaching on the learning process, and the motivation of students are determined.
The research objective is to substantiate the feasibility of introducing coaching in the system of preschool education, to reveal the potential of using coaching technologies in preschool education.
The statement of basic materials. In the educational activities of preschool education institutions, coaching can be used both as a style of institution management and as an approach that transforms the educational process. It is proposed to use coaching technologies in the following areas of activity: management of preschool education institution; cooperation of preschool education institution with parents; formation of competencies in children-applicants of preschool education in various educational areas. The goals of using coaching technologies in the identified areas are revealed and examples of the use of coaching technologies are given: active listening, powerful questions, “GROW” technology.
Conclusions. The coaching methodology is widely used in various spheres of public life. The analysis of research shows the rapid development of the coaching approach, the prospects for its implementation in the system of preschool education, in particular in preschool education.

Relevance of the research topic. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that in times of war, modern children and youth look at the world through the eyes of adults who have matured significantly compared to their age. The war factor influences the search for ways to help adults in the form of volunteering. Ukrainian children and youth are gaining experience of active and responsible behavior in modern society. The younger generation is rethinking the importance of intellectual and personal development, choosing a profession as one of the ways out of crisis situations. Modern youth is constantly searching for and joining the cultural and educational dialogue that takes place between all participants in the educational process and directs them to self-development, self-improvement, and the accumulation of the necessary knowledge that forms the professional value orientations of future professionals. The values of communicative culture and Ukrainian content contribute to the improvement of morality and civic position in the process of educational and professional training of Ukrainian youth. Today, it is important to find, develop, and study various concepts, programs, and projects that shape the creative thinking of young people in an educational environment.
Statement of the problem. The problem of values focuses on a humanistic position in education, which requires treating young people as an important subject in the educational process; recognizing creative thinking as potentially important for both young people and Ukrainian society. Fruitful dialogic communication between participants in the educational process is considered more important condition and means of personal development
Analysis of recent research and publications. In the course of this publication research, philosophical and cultural developments on axiology were analyzed, in particular, A. Vykhrushch, M. Pidlisnyi, “Problems of Axiology and Ways to Solve Them”. We relied on the development of certain aspects of the content and methods of teaching of the NUS, the program “Intellect of Ukraine” (I. Havrysh, Y. Zavalevsky, S. Kyrylenko, O. Marynovska, O. Mezentseva, V. Rogova). Some methodological recommendations on the use of innovative teaching methods in educational and extracurricular cultural and leisure institutions for children and youth were used (V. Koleboshyn, S. Kyrylenko, I. Chervinska, V. Voronov, K. Kovalchuk, O. Reipolska, S. Sysoieva, K. Stankevych, N. Pikanova). We analyzed the materials of information periodicals that cover issues relevant to our study.
The purpose of the article is to reveal the importance of educational, scientific, cultural and leisure institutions as carriers of moral and spiritual values that influence the development of creative thinking of young people and coordinate the targeted provision of quality education and development of their personality.
The task is: to identify teaching methods that motivate the formation of a culture of youth behavior adequate to a multicultural environment; promote constructive relationships between people; encourage critical analysis of modern information, promote design and research activities; encourage personal participation in public life (for example, through volunteering), influence the solution of social problems, and the ability to defend Ukrainian statehood.
The presentation of the main material begins with the statement of the relevance of the problem as the implementation of an axiological (value-based) approach to quality education and educational activities in Ukraine. The aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has led to the loss of numerous educational, extracurricular, artistic and sports institutions. The article emphasizes the importance of moral and psychological support for children in times of war through educational and cultural centers, assistance in overcoming stress or experiencing loss, sadness and suffering, educational and developmental work with children and youth in difficult conditions. An important task in implementing quality education in Ukraine is to pay constant attention to young people who create Ukrainian content and the spiritual and cultural values of the state. Only educated Ukrainians can create a strong, viable state, rebuild and develop the modern Ukrainian economy, and ensure a decent future for future generations.
Conclusion.
Prospects for further research will be the analysis of axiological approaches to solving the problem of the strategy of development of Ukrainian culture and education, the dominant feature of which is the implementation of acquired knowledge and skills, which affects the creative thinking of young people in modern society.

Urgency of the research. The problem of freedom has always been and remains one of the most important and relevant problems not only in philosophy, history, political science and other sciences, but also in other social spheres, such as: religion, law, culture, economy, politics, etc. In this article, the author considered the problem of free will in the philosophical system of the medieval philosopher and theologian Aurelius Augustine, to whom the Catholic Church conferred the title of Blessed.
Turget setting. Freedom of will is one of the most important and fundamental problems of today. It concerns not only philosophy, but also such areas as: law, politics, economy, religion, etc. In each of these spheres, human free will appears differently, which is determined by the specifics of the corresponding social context.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. This problem, to a certain extent, found its coverage in the writings of such Ukrainian researchers as: V. Gogol [6], M. Doychyk [8], and others. V. Gogol in his article “Anthropological teaching of St. Augustine” [6] analyzes the reasoning of Aurelius Augustine regarding the origin of the soul, the problem of the unity of two substances - soul and body, and human free will. Indirectly, these problems in the light of the Augustinian understanding of the idea of human dignity were also touched upon by the modern Ukrainian researcher M. Doichyk in his article “The Antinomic Dimension of Human Dignity in the Christian Philosophy of Aurelius Augustine” [8].
The research objective. The purpose of the study is a historical-philosophical analysis of the ideological legacy of Aurelius Augustine, in that part of it that concerns the conceptual features of his understanding of the problem of the relationship between free will and human dignity, their relationship with God's will and Divine law.
The statement of basic materials. The philosopher considers free will as one of the attributes that is inherent only to man, as the crown of God's creation. Free will belongs to the essence of a person, and gives him the opportunity to choose between good and evil, so he fights with himself every day, and in his heart good fights with evil, and who wins depends on how righteous and close a person is to God.
Conclusions. So, the concept of “free will” is considered by Aurelius Augustine in the light of teleological determinism: human free will is limited by God's will and predestination. Only God can give a person true freedom, free him from the slavery of sin and cleanse his soul of evil and defects, fill it with love for neighbors and enemies.

Urgency of the research. Rapid modern civilizational development of society primarily affects people through transformations of their life world, human existence, their place and role in social, economic (production), political and humanitarian spheres of public life. Humans are increasingly integrated into automated processes, becoming a component with clearly regulated actions. The constant presence in the rational world, in which there is little room for irrationality, fantasy and “going beyond”, turns a person into a “robot” (e.g., work on automated conveyors, logistics centers, etc.) and affects personality development.
Target setting. The demand for creativity is only growing, and therefore it is important to develop a new discourse (new approaches) regarding the modern understanding of personal creativity in order to maintain the momentum for further innovative development of society as a whole and individual countries.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis has shown that the issue of creativity has been studied by researchers in the context of creativity in culture, creative class, creative urbanism, creative economy, etc. Despite a fairly wide range of studies, the issue of creativity as an important quality (basic competence) of a modern personality is part of the general problem to which this article is devoted.
The research objective. To study the issue of creativity as an important quality (basic competence) of a modern personality in the context of further innovative development of society.
The statement of basic materials. Global civilizational transformations are changing not only the outside world, nature, and relationships, but also the human being, his or her life world, and human existence. The economy is increasingly moving from the production sector to the service sector. The shift to services raises the issue of finding a place in the sun for both individual entrepreneurs and acquisition companies, especially in a highly competitive environment. At the same time, the widespread use of automated production processes, robotics, and artificial intelligence reduces the need for a large number of low-skilled professionals. In addition, a significant percentage of physical communications, works, and services are moving into the virtual realm. This requires the ability to quickly navigate and find non-standard, unconventional solutions to problems. In such conditions, businesses are increasingly willing to move from the “Crimson Ocean” to the “Blue Ocean” and this is impossible without a creative and innovative team.
Conclusions. Creativity is increasingly becoming a basic competence that needs to be developed from the earliest stages of education, as there are far fewer talented and gifted people than there are creative professionals. Therefore, to form a modern discourse on the development of a creative personality, it is necessary to take into account a wide range of influencing factors. This requires an appropriate scientific and philosophical rethinking and methodological and pedagogical development of the issues of acquiring the signs of basic competence in creativity.

Urgency of the research. The leading principle of the modern humanitarian paradigm in pedagogy is the personal and semantic orientation of education. Accordingly, the study of the fundamental role of the body and its motor attitudes in the organisation and provision of human cognitive processes is an important area of development of the philosophy of education.
Target setting. Consciousness and language, as the main sources of human meaning-making, are traditionally in the focus of attention of educational philosophers, while the problem of meaning transmission by non-verbal means is still insufficiently studied. In the context of the above-mentioned humanitarian paradigm, the traditional representationalist epistemological paradigm of cognition as a process of producing mental representations, the dichotomy of the mental and the physical, and the value priority of the former over the latter are subject to refutation. This will open up new - cognitive and phenomenological - strategies for using such components of human emotional and sensual being as music, drama, dance, physical education, etc. in the educational process.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The research problem has led to the choice of works by such researchers as M. Merleau-Ponty, A. Clark, M. Foucault, К. Shyues, M. Kimball, S. McWilliams, T. Roholt, R. Shusterman and others.
The research objective. Based on the phenomenology of M. Merleau-Ponty, as well as on modern research in the cognitive sphere, to clarify the role and prove the importance of “body language” for the theory and practice of education.
The statement of basic materials. The article focuses on a kind of ontology developed by Merleau-Ponty, which can be summarised in the following thesis: perception is rooted in the body, and therefore corporeality is the most important component of the life world. It is the body that gives meaning not only to natural objects but also to cultural objects such as words. That is, the primary perception given through the body is the basis of all meanings and values. It is proved that the primary importance of the phenomenological concept of the body for the educational field lies in its educational potential. A person mainly evaluates his or her identity, his or her body as “natural” and “normal”, and assigns “unnatural” and “abnormal” to the identity of the Other. However, the assessment of something as natural and normal is often based on a stereotype formed and maintained by socio-cultural relations, because the body itself is not a natural given but a product of these relations. This opens up the possibility of realising the relativity of one's identity and restraining egocentricity.
Conclusions. The whole body is involved in the formation of a person's life world as a set of motor habits, which is a kind of synergistic system in which cognitive data and abilities are interdependent: to understand something means to integrate it into one's bodily space, to make it part of one's habitus. An effective mind-body system, or the experience of embodied presence, is the basis for ensuring the integrity of a human being, laying the foundation for the formation of a coherent image of the world.
