Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the issues of educational losses and educational gaps in Ukrainian pedagogical thought, to distinguish between key concepts, to systematize approaches to diagnostics and compensation, and to identify promising areas for further research. Methods: analysis of scientific sources, systematization and generalization of research results by Ukrainian and foreign scholars, terminological analysis of key concepts, comparative pedagogical method. Results. The relevance is determined by the unprecedented shocks the Ukrainian educational system has experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine in 2022, which caused massive educational losses and deepened existing educational gaps. The article provides a terminological analysis of key concepts, distinguishing between "educational losses" (learning losses) and "educational gaps" (achievement gaps), which in Ukrainian scientific discourse are often used synonymously, complicating scientific communication and the development of effective overcoming strategies. The essence, causes and consequences of educational losses in Ukraine are revealed. It is determined that educational losses have a cumulative effect and grow proportionally to the duration of the cessation of educational institutions’ functioning. The main factors causing educational losses in wartime conditions have been identified. The available diagnostic tools are analyzed, and the necessity of developing a National Program for Overcoming Educational Losses and Gaps is substantiated. The role of PISA and TIMSS international comparative studies for measuring and monitoring educational gaps is highlighted. Subject-specific developments of Ukrainian scholars in diagnostics and compensation of educational losses are examined. Conclusions. Recommendations for further research directions and practical steps to minimize the negative consequences are formulated. It is established that the problem of educational losses require coordinated efforts of scholars, administrators and practitioners, as well as the development of a comprehensive state policy based on international comparative research data.
