THE ROLE OF TRADITIONAL NATIONAL VALUES IN CONDUCTING TRUST AND CONSENT TO THE YOUTH // Pedagogical Review. 2017. Issue 4 (18). P. 90-95

The need for young people to develop attitudes toward public trust, harmony, and cultural dialogue is a priority for ensuring the consolidation of various sectors of civil society. The article examines the essence and interrelation of the concepts of trust, consent, multicultural education. It is proved that these are not abstract, but quite real and multifaceted categories that are not directly economic and social, but psychologically influence the social and economic realities of society. The role of national values, as a set of spiritual ideals of representatives of ethnic communities, is shown in the formation of public trust and consent among young people. It is established that universal values, the importance of which can neither be belittled nor exaggerated, can only specify a context that must be filled with a certain content stemming from the dialectics of interrelation with traditional Russian spiritual values. The article overviews the contemporary situation of the problem of polycultural education, and researches the role of education in cohesion, trust and peacefulness among the present day youth. This problem is important for many countries in the world with multinational population. The Russian state politics is aimed at harmonization of international relationships and civil unity. Due to it Russian education considers the task of building relationships with the representatives of various social, ethnic, religious communities on the basics of principles of respect and acceptance of different cultures, nations and religions. Polycultural education has a high potential to fulfill this task.

PILOT PROJECTS IN PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH // Pedagogical Review. 2019. Issue 6 (28). P. 111-121

The article aims at investigating methodological support and method of conducting for pilot projects in education. The example under consideration is the research of managing the cooperation between public adult associations and traditional educational institutions. The methodology of pilot studies is closely connected with the concept of the study and its theoretical framework. The purpose of the article is to consider ways of using pilot projects (pilot stages in research, pilot online surveys) in the research of managing the cooperation between public adult associations and traditional educational institutions. Research methods included various types of theoretical analysis, interpretation, experimental and diagnostic methods of collecting and processing empirical data. Authors of the article base their research on the concept of cooperation in social philosophy as a basic category of modern theoretical thinking, which explores the notions of simultaneity and bi-directionality – two essential characteristics of the mutual influence of interrelated objects aspiring to achieve a common goal. Pedagogical theory treats cooperation as one of the factors that can increase the efficiency of the upbringing and the socialization process of an individual. The educational potential of public adult associations and ways of using it are viewed in the context of the theory of civil society development. This theory takes into account such important aspects as managing this cooperation, organizing the research of this socio-cultural phenomenon, determining its content, characteristics, forms, ways and effective cooperation models. Pilot projects play an important part in research of socio-cultural phenomena. While being essentially experimental, they assist in gathering empirical data, verifying hypotheses and planning various stages of the research. They contribute to new guidelines for event management (the roadmap including stages and actions necessary to achieve the objectives of the proposed research). The article investigates ways of using pilot online surveys and their monitoring in order to find solutions in the field of research of the cooperation between public adult associations and traditional educational institutions.

PREPARATION OF TEACHERS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUBJECT AREA “FOUNDATIONS OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL CULTURE OF THE PEOPLES OF RUSSIA”: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS // Pedagogical Review. 2021. Issue 6 (40). P. 53-63

The purpose of the study is to consider the problems of teacher preparation for teaching the subject “Fundamentals of Religious Cultures and Secular Ethics”: highlighting the value foundations, managing teacher training at the regional and local levels, comprehending effective options for solving acute issues in its implementation. The key problem of the teachers’ unpreparedness for effective activity in this area is revealed, connected with the lack of scientific understanding of traditional Russian spiritual values that lie at the core of the culture of each nation, for the development of which theological knowledge is necessary that is not studied in the process of basic professional training. Conclusions are made that this function is now accepted by the system of advanced training. It has been established that theological knowledge is understood as the result of the process of cognition and personal understanding of the religious tradition and its authentic reflection in the mind of the teacher on a cultural basis in the form of concepts and value-semantic life guidelines. An analysis of scientific sources and practice of spiritual and moral education of the younger generations gives grounds to assert that in modern Russian society, the cultural role of traditional Russian spiritual values is beginning to be more deeply understood, by which we mean the primordial, chosen by distant ancestors, axiological guidelines – peacefulness, sympathy, acceptance of the other, empathy and others that form the spiritual world of a growing person through an appeal to the deep foundations of the national mentality, which have passed a long way of approbation from generation to generation. However, when conducting advanced training courses for teachers in this area, one should choose an extremely correct position, focusing on cultural meanings, and not on religious dogma.
