In the article, based on the analysis of scientific research, the artistic and pedagogical narrative "Pedagogy of good" in the numerous speeches of the Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, professor, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine I. A. Ziaziun, the main concepts of the nation-building conception of the founder of pedagogical mastery, scientist-philosopher, esthete, teacher and psychologist are outlined in the context of the challenges and prospects for the implementation of the Concept «New Ukrainian School» (2016).It is determined that in the philosophical and pedagogical, philosophical and psychological studies of Ukrainian scientist the nation-building conception of pedagogical education is presented, in which the humanistic and axiological approaches to solving numerous educational and scientific issues are organically combined, and the core of national education is «pedagogy of good and human creation».Among the conceptions of the ideological concept of Ivan Ziaziun, a special place is occupied by the concepts of a person, a personality, a school, a student, and a teacher. The basic principles, concepts, basic values of the researcher are relevant and demanded in the context of the implementation of the objectives of the Concept «New Ukrainian School»: life – as lifelong learning, child-centered approach, transition from school of knowledge to the school of competences, pedagogy of student and teacher partnership; continuous process of upbringing, which forms values, leads to a reflection on how to preserve and develop the identity of a student and a teacher in the modern globalized world and to realize through pedagogical action.Among the defining features of a personality, which Ivan Ziaziun skillfully justified and served as an example, an important role assigned to spirituality, intelligence, honor and dignity. I. Ziaziun always was a supporter of a return of a sense of honor and dignity to public education in the society.Implementation of the principle of «life as a lifelong learning» in I. Ziaziun's prognostic concept is represented through the provision of sensuality. The new school is  competency-oriented,  and  a  definite  list  of  ten  competencies  is  based  on  the «Recommendations of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe on the development of key competences for lifelong (all-life) education» (2006). The most important of these is the lack of certain knowledge, personal qualities and abilities of the student,  and the  ability to apply competence in specific educational and life situations. I. Ziaziun also supported the following ideas: the child is not a clay from which it is possible to sculpt everything, it is an active person who percepts educational and nurturing influences desirable for him/her.Ivan Ziaziun proved that a modern teacher works in the format of independent creative searches based on the achievements of fundamental sciences and traditional methods. Their uniqueness lies in the axiological basis of the teacher's action, which is based on three psychological factors: intelligence – affection – will.
