Abstract

Transformation of historical education is one of the leading components of modernization of the Ukrainian educational business in accordance with the needs of practice, development of modern science, increase of historical culture of citizens.The need to create a new system of teaching historical disciplines is a matter of necessity -without this it would be useless to talk about raising the historical culture and patriotic views of cadets of military institutions of higher education.Without effective study and thorough knowledge of onе's own history, which is one of the most important means of consolidating Ukrainian society, it is hardly possible to raise the national consciousness and make significant changes in its reform and renewal.
