DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS BY THE MEANS OF UKRAINIAN LITERATURE

Development of Student' Self-Consciousness by the means of Ukrainian Literature». The article describes the educational formative experiment, aimed at development of students’ national selfconsciousness by the means of active acquirement by them of material and mental national culture, and analyses its results. The performed educational experiment and the following statistical analysis of its results have presented a strong case that highly developed national self-consciousness of the group of students – Ukrainian philologists, and the increase of self-consciousness level in the experimental groups are conditioned by the influence of the interactive, problem searching, audible educational and reconstructive, deeply psychological, and cathartic learning in the Ukrainian literature and other subjects within the academic course of Ukrainian studies. The increased in volume and deepened learning of Ukrainian literature, language and other subjects within the academic course of Ukrainian studies, the strengthening of the national orientation of the academic courses in pedagogy, psychology, cultural studies, special educational courses and educational work influence greatly on an individual’s emotional and sensitive sphere, and through it on their intellectual and morally-valuable spheres, which effectively contributes to the development of DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS BY THE MEANS OF UKRAINIAN LITERATURE

The performed educational experiment and the following statistical analysis of its results have presented a strong case that highly developed national self-consciousness of the group of students -Ukrainian philologists, and the increase of self-consciousness level in the experi- The national consciousness means a person's (a nation's) self-perception, self-evaluation as a bearer of national values, which were formed in the process of historical development of society, self-realization as an community agent, eager for self-affirmation, occupying a proper place  In the process of the educational experiment the students of the groups A and B during the semester were studying this course as an elective course. The classes were given once a Table 1 The previous distribution of the indexes of national self-consciousness in the experi- To trace the dynamics of national selfconsciousness we compared the results of the group A and B students, obtained before and after the educational experiment (see table 2).
As can be seen from the table, there are differences between the indexes of national self- According to the Student's t-test for the group A, the respondents of which were studying the special course for 50 hours, the average value of the national self-consciousness indexes after the educational experiment is statistically higher than the average value before the educational experiment with the significance level of p < 0,01.
So, we can see the statistically significant increase of national self-consciousness in the group A.
As for the group B, the respondents of which studied the special course for 30 hours, tcriterion shows that the average value after the educational experiment is also statistically higher than the average value of the national selfconsciousness indexes before educational experiment, but with the significance level of p <0,05.
Anyway, national self-consciousness increase in the group B is statistically significant (p < 0,05).
As we can see, the respondents of the both groups A and B have the positive dynamics of the national self-consciousness at the end of the educational experiment, but its intensity is not the same. For the final check of the probability of these differences, we compared the repeated measurements of national self-consciousness in the groups A and B with the t-criterion. The average value of the national self-consciousness indexes after the educational experiment in the group A is statistically higher than that in the group B with the significance level of p < 0,05.
Thus, according to the statistics, national selfconsciousness of the group A respondents was increased higher than that of the group B re-equal to 5%.
Besides, there is a high correlation (in the group A r = 0,896, in the group B r = 0,859, in both groups p < 0,001) between the indexes of national self-consciousness of the students before and after the educational experiment in the both groups A and B. It is evidence that if the initial national self-consciousness of a respondent was higher before the experiment, than it is also higher at the end of the educational experiment.
In our opinion, the determined statistically high correlations between the initial and final na-   Such universality is created through languagethe language is able to convey temporal, spatial, colour, relief, and all sorts of other features of objects and phenomena.
