Abstract

The article describes the content of doctoral training in education (PhD) at the leading universities in the US. It displays the analysis of the educational component of the educational programs of doctoral level; forms of doctoral training in education; outlines the prospects of using the experience of doctoral training in education in Ukraine, in particular, the content of the educational component of the educational  programs for doctoral training in education in Ukraine, their individualization, issues of doctoral research, doctoral training in education (PhD), doctors in the field of education (EdD).

The authors found that doctoral training is carried out in the US education system where the first priority is independence and academic freedom. It takes 3-4 years to study for doctoral program (PhD). In the first phase, for 2-2.5 years a doctoral student is required to study the recommended training courses, pass exams and get a diploma (certificate) on doctoral study, which is a legal document. The second phase is a process of the research, the process of writing and defense of the scientific work, and as a result - the receiving doctorate diploma. The amount of doctoral programs is determined in credits; their quantity is established by universities, conducting training.

The content of the educational programs for doctoral training in education (PhD) has been studied by analyzing the experience of leading (by rank) the US universities such as: Walden University, University of Georgia, Harvard University, Stanford University, University of California (Berkeley), University of California (Los Angeles), Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan.

Keywords: Doctor of Philosophy;  doctoral programs;  specialization courses.
