Abstract

The article aimed to explore the influence of philosophical concepts on the implementation of pedagogical innovations in the educational process. To achieve this, several philosophical movements were analysed in the context of their impact on educational innovations, and a survey of Ukrainian teachers was conducted. The results of the study demonstrated the significant influence of philosophical concepts on the development of educational technologies and pedagogical practices. According to the survey of Ukrainian teachers, constructivism was recognised as the most influential approach by 24.5% of respondents, while humanism was chosen by 20%. Pragmatism and existentialism were also named as important philosophical movements for fostering critical thinking and student autonomy. At the same time, a significant portion of respondents (31%) identified the lack of material and technical resources as the main obstacle to implementing innovations in the educational process. The study found that the integration of such innovative technologies as interactive platforms and virtual learning environments can significantly improve the quality of education if properly implemented. The research also showed that the use of innovative approaches can enhance student engagement in the learning process and increase the effectiveness of educational practices. The necessity of adapting educational technologies to the requirements of the 21st century was highlighted as crucial for the development of critical thinking, creativity, and social responsibility among students. Innovative approaches based on various philosophical concepts can ensure a higher quality educational process, contribute to personal development, and prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. The study demonstrated that educational innovations can facilitate a rethinking of teaching approaches, improve adaptability, and enhance the relevance of the educational process
