The article deals with a reflective analysis of the activities of postgraduate school in Ukraine as the main form of training the main form of training scientific staff for a century. It was found that nowadays postgraduate school in Ukraine by the Laws “On Education” (2017), “On Higher Education” (2014) is defined as the main form of training of scientific and pedagogical and scientific staff.

The contribution to the training of postgraduate students of research departments of pedology was investigated; postgraduate training programs at the department at the Kyiv Institute of Public Education have been analyzed. The activity of postgraduate study in pedagogy at the Ukrainian Research Institute of Pedagogy (URIP) in Kharkiv was characterized, the curricula and the basic principles of their functioning have been analyzed.

A number of normative documents that regulated the activities of postgraduate studies in Ukrainian educational institutions and the training of scientific and scientific-pedagogical staff in postgraduate studies were analyzed, e.g: “Regulations on the Procedure for Training Scientists at Higher Educational Institutions and Research Institutions” (1925), Resolution of the CEC of the USSR “On curricula and regimes in higher education and technical schools” (1932), Resolution “On the amount of scholarships for graduate students of universities, colleges and research institutes” (1933), Resolution “On the training of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers” (1934), Law “On Measures to Improve the Training of Scientific and Pedagogical Staff in Postgraduate Studies” (1948), Resolution of the Higher Attestation Commission “On the results of work on the certification of scientific personnel in 1947/1948 academic year” (1948), Regulations on postgraduate studies at higher educational and research institutions (1962), Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR “On measures to improve the training and use of scientific, pedagogical and scientific staff (1987), About the statement of the Order of training applicants of higher education of a degree of the doctor of philosophy and the doctor of sciences in institutions of higher education (scientific institutions) »(2016).

It is proved that in the 1930s the model of postgraduate studies in the USSR was “educational”; in the 50’s of the 20^th century the development of postgraduate studies was reduced and transformed into a “research” model; at the beginning of the 21^st century postgraduate studies implement an educational and research model of training applicants.
