Introduction. The interest of the scientific community in the issue of ontogeny of subjectivity in the era of changes in all spheres of life, the reform of national education associated with the digitalization of education and other challenges is growing again. The problem of psychological support for the formation of subjectivity during the period of study at school is of particular relevance. It is subjectivity that is an integrative characteristic of a student's personality associated with transformative activity and the achievement of one's own goals. Subjectivity determines how a person interacts with the surrounding world and people, how he defends his position in interaction with people and society as a whole. The personal and professional choice of a student is associated with the ability to understand and model possible alternatives to his life path and to be responsible for the results. In primary school age, there are personal prerequisites for the development of subjectivity. The components of subjectivity in the structure of a student's personality are his features, such as the presence of an educational and professional motive, a motive for achievement and development, responsibility for one's actions and decisions, the ability to control oneself in a variety of situations, including difficult life situations, and an active behavioral position. School education, which includes not only the pedagogical influence on the student, but also his subjective educational activity, involving his active participation in building his own personality, is precisely the space that bears a great semantic and functional load from the point of view of the formation and development of intrapersonal mechanisms and formations. The creation of "correct", creative conditions for the education and development of a child in the process of schooling is a significant moment in the work on the formation of his subjectivity, including in relation to the choice of a professional path. The work on the formation of the subjectivity of schoolchildren in the field of modern general education is becoming an important and responsible task from the point of view of the development of a full-fledged personality and the future professional self-determination of school graduates.Materials and Methods. The article is an analytical review with elements of a pact research, where an attempt was made to systematize scientific psychological and pedagogical knowledge on the problem of the formation of subjectivity during the period of schooling. To study this personal characteristic, we conducted a theoretical and empirical study. The formation of subjectivity is due to the development of self-awareness and the motivational-semantic sphere of the individual. The most important, from our point of view, are such criteria for the development of subjectivity in a student as motivational indicators, the ability to reflect, the nature of interaction with adults, and the level of self-regulation. In accordance with the criterion-level approach, we identified three levels of development of the subjectivity of schoolchildren: low, medium and high.Results. All selected and studied by us criteria of subjectivity of primary and secondary schoolchildren are in the stage of active formation. That is why this study is of a trial, pilot nature. The data we have obtained demonstrate only the existing trend in relation to the personal development of children at certain stages of schooling. That is why the above mentioned criteria for the development of the subjectivity of schoolchildren need further study, and their typology needs additional refinement.Discussions and Conclusions. The conclusion is substantiated that the above mentioned criteria for the development of the subjectivity of schoolchildren need further study, and their typology needs additional refinement, which is a promising direction for further theoretical and empirical research. The work on the formation of the subjectivity of schoolchildren in the field of modern general education is becoming an important and responsible task from the point of view of the development of a full-fledged personality and the future professional self-determination of school graduates. Based on the results of the study, we consider it necessary to create meaningful and systemic conditions conducive to the development of the child's ability to subjective activity, awareness of himself and his life. The conditions are listed, that allow the development of the child's internal potential as a subject of his own activity in various aspects, not only educational, but also extracurricular, conducive to creative activity and self-development.

The purpose and tasks of the work are to analyze the contemporary Ukrainian mass culture in terms of its value and humanistic components, as well as the importance of cultural studies and Ukrainian studies in educational disciplines for the formation of a holistic worldview of modern youth.Analysis of research and publications. Scientists repeatedly turned to the problems of the role of spirituality in the formation of society and its culture. This problem is highlighted in the publications by O. Losev, V. Lytvyn, D. Likhachev, S. Avierintsev, M. Zakovych, I. Stepanenko and E. Kostyshyn.Experts see the main negative impact of mass culture on the quality approach, which determines mass culture through the market, because mass culture, from our point of view, is everything that is sold and used in mass demand.One of the most interesting studies on this issue was the work by the representatives of Frankfurt School M. Horkheimer and T. Adorno «Dialectics of Enlightenment» (1947), devoted to a detailed analysis of mass culture. Propaganda at all socio-cultural levels in the form is similar in both totalitarian and democratic countries. It is connected, according to the authors, with the direction of European enlightenment. The tendency to unify people is a manifestation of the influence of mass culture, from cinema to pop. Mass culture is a phenomenon whose existence is associated with commerce (accumulation in any form – this is the main feature of education), in general, the fact that it exists in this form is related to the direction of the history of civilization.Modern mass culture, with its externally attractive and easily assimilated ideas and symbols, appealing to the trends of modern fashion, becomes a standard of prestigious consumption, does not require intense reflection, allows you to relax, distract, not teach, but entertains, preaches hedonism as the main spiritual value. And as a consequence, there are socio-cultural risks: an active rejection of other people, which leads to the formation of indifference; cruelty as a character trait; increase of violent and mercenary crime; increase in the number of alcohol and drug addicts; anti-patriotism; indifference to the values of the family and as a result of social orphanhood and prostitution.Conclusions, perspectives of research. Thus, we can conclude that modern Ukrainian education is predominantly formed by the values of mass culture. Namely, according to the «Dialectic» by Horkheimer and Adorno, «semi-enlightenment becomes an objective spirit» of our modern society.It is concluded that only high-quality education can create the opposite of the onset of mass culture and the destruction of spirituality in our society. It is proved that only by realizing the importance of cultivating disciplines in the educational process and the spiritual upbringing of the nation, through educational reforms, humanitarian knowledge will gradually return to student audiences.Formation of youth occurs under the influence of social environment, culture, education and self-education. The optimal combination of these factors determines both the process of socialization itself and how successful it will be. In this context, one can see the leading role of education and upbringing. It turns out that the main task of modern education is to spread its influence on the development of spiritual culture of the individual, which eventually becomes a solid foundation for the formation of the individual. Such a subject requires both philosophical and humanitarian approaches in further integrated interdisciplinary research, since the availability of such research will provide the theoretical foundation for truly modern educational and personal development.

The article focuses on advertisements as visual and historical sources. The material comes from the German press that appeared immediately after the end of the Second World War. During this time, all kinds of products were scarce. In comparison to this, colorful advertisements of luxury products are more than noteworthy. What do these images tell us about the early post-war years in Germany? The author argues that advertisements are a medium that shapes social norms. Rather than reflecting the historical realities, advertisements construct them. From an aesthetical and cultural point of view, advertisements gave thus a sense of continuity between the pre- and post-war years. The author suggests, therefore, that the advertisements should not be treated as a source for economic history. They are, however, important for studying social developments that occurred in the past.

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of creative abilities and cognitive interests of students. The main directions of development of the creative person according to the social needs of the present are considered. It is noted that creative activity becomes a form of knowledge of the material-objective world; identifies personality possibilities, new ways of one’s personal development. Therefore, the problem of developing the creative abilities of students in the course of educational and cognitive activity is of an exceptional relevance. The author believes that influencing the organization of creative activity is possible only under certain conditions, in particular: to conduct classes in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and co-creation, perceiving each student as a person; to give preference to the dialogical form of conducting classes, when students have an opportunity: to think independently, to make suggestions, to defend their own point of view, presenting their own arguments; it is advisable to create situations of choice at classes and to enable students to carry it out. The author notes that the observance of certain organizational and methodological conditions can significantly contribute to the development of creative potential of students, namely: the creative vision of the world through the systematic organization of work with students; development of creative values through the proper level of teacher's teaching skills; deepening the perception of the world picture through the integration of various types of students’ creativity, works of art and their figurative reproduction in their own creative activity; individual peculiarities of perception and emotional attitude through the use of the educational potential of the family, organization of creative activity. When performing creative tasks the individual characteristics of students to select the material of the appropriate level of complexity must be taken into account. The article examines the examples of students' creativity during the European Cultures Festival, debates and clubs on the basis of the Kryvyi Rih National University.
