PEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The article presents a thorough theoretical and methodological analysis of the concept of pedagogical conditions as a component of scientific knowledge in the field of higher education. The concept is examined in an interdisciplinary context – philosophical, pedagogical, and sociocultural. Definitions of the terms condition and pedagogical conditions are clarified; approaches to their classification are systematized, and the main levels, functions, structural components, and typologies reflected in Ukrainian pedagogical thought are outlined. Special attention is given to interpreting pedagogical conditions as a set of purposefully organized external and internal factors that facilitate the achievement of learning, education, and personal development goals for higher education students. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, key features of pedagogical conditions are identified: purposiveness, systemic nature, functionality, and the interdependence of subjective and objective factors. It is demonstrated that pedagogical conditions can serve not only as background circumstances but also as active tools for transforming the educational process in response to modern societal challenges and needs. The study establishes that the effectiveness of the educational process significantly depends on the harmonious combination of material-technical, organizational-pedagogical, psychological-pedagogical, and sociocultural conditions that create a favorable learning environment for the development of competent, creative, and independent individuals. The article substantiates that understanding pedagogical conditions as a holistic scientific and methodological construct enables educators to consciously develop strategies for improving the quality of higher education. The findings of the study are of scientific and practical value for lecturers, education managers, and researchers in higher education pedagogy.
