Research in the fi eld of continuing pedagogical education is mainly based on a structural and functional approach that identifi es the continuity of education with the continuity of various stages of professional development of the subject. The continuity of pedagogical education requires its scientifi c rethinking in accordance with the challenges of the time, with the transformation of the economic foundations of social development. To solve these problems, the problem is considered as a culturological phenomenon, a humanitarian analysis of continuous pedagogical education is made as a nonlinear process that has a proactive nature and develops individually signifi cant competencies.

Based on the description of the state system of personnel training for the education system in a historical retrospective, the research analyzes the main trends in teacher training in current social conditions.

In this article, we present to our readers some of the results of the work of the Faculty of Pedagogical Education of Moscow University in the context of the activities of the Interdisciplinary Scientific and Educational School "Preservation of the world cultural and historical heritage".

There are two informational reasons for writing such an article. Traditionally, the occasion for public summing up is some kind of anniversary date. This year the faculty turns 25 years old. Obviously, it is not possible to fully summarize the results of the faculty's work over 25 years in a small review article. But there is a second reason. It is associated with the first year of the FPE's work within the framework of one of the seven interdisciplinary scientific and educational schools of Moscow University. In this article, we plan to tell you just about one page of the history of the FPE, which is related to the contribution of the faculty to the development of ideas of the Interdisciplinary Scientific and Educational School of Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The research raises the problem of preserving traditional values of the national teacher education, that is the spiritual and ethical development of future teachers, who are able to provide a genuinely civil education to the younger generation based on personal example and profound moral convictions. The authors emphasize the idea that teacher training in Russia has developed an enduring tradition to focus on the development of the future teacher’s skills to carry out the tasks for the cultivation of the personality of the younger generation and take maximum responsibility for the formation of individual’s moral identity during the teaching and learning processes. With reference to historical facts, the authors state that this tradition roots in folk pedagogy. It was developed in the works by K.D. Ushinsky and became the basis of teacher training in Soviet Russia. The research shows that there is a relationship between teacher’s developing values and the effectiveness of the entire system of general and professional education and the spiritual well-being of the society that emphasizes deep historical and mental roots in the interpretation of spiritual and ethical development as the key value of teacher education in Russia.

The research discusses monitoring outcomes of quality of the main educational programs applied to undergraduate, graduate and specialist programs performed by higher education institutions subordinate to the Ministry of Education and Science within enlarged groups of specializations and majors (EGSM) 44.00.00 “Education and Pedagogical Sciences.” The main research outcomes are as follows: 36% of the main educational programs within EGSM 44.00.00 are the programs that impose an educational process of a disciplinary type. The research reveals issues of discrepancy and disunity of the discipline contents, absence of internal wholeness, unevenness in the distribution of psychological, pedagogical, disciplinary, and methodological training, and the absence of orientation towards the unified (complex) exam, which would ensure testing of learning outcomes achievement within preplanned competences. These tendencies are especially typical for the main graduate educational programs.

Final qualification works lack reference to research data in scientific works and data of official documentation issued by governmental bodies and state statistics, including data in the field of regional education. Programs lack modules (disciplines) aimed at developing the worldview of future teachers; there is no workload designed for the Russian language and literature. To proceed, there are no temporary and organizational opportunities to secure in-depth study of psychological – pedagogical and (or) other disciplines.

Considering the above, the professional education of future teachers is performed fragmentary, following the reactive type, that is, reacting to discreet teaching tasks of which is ineffective either for the development of any group of competencies, or, in general, for the professional development of a Russian teacher.

The authors analyze the activity of children’s public organizations of the 20th century. The research discusses the relevance of creating «Bolshaya Peremena» clubs in educational organizations. The activity of these organization is formed based on the conceptual ideas of scientific schools of V.S. Mukhina «Phenomenology of the development and existence of personality» and L.I. Novikova «A systemic approach to the upbringing and socialization of children and youth». A methodological basis lies in presenting the results of fundamental research by such psychologists and teachers as L.S. Vygotsky, L.I. Novikova, V.S. Mukhina and N.L. Selivanova. The essence of their research lies in recognizing the priorities of personal development, the values of the childhood period and the activities of the younger generation. The research considers the activities of the «Bolshaya Peremena» clubs as a natural social environment in which the younger generation acquires personal and acute social meanings of life and activity and «undergoes» preparation for the productive realization of their potential in the current conditions of public life. The authors describe the educational space of the «Bolshaya Peremena» clubs, which aim to create an environment conducive to creating favorable conditions for the personal development of children and adolescents and the activation of personal and social maturity. The «Bolshaya Peremena» clubs are built on the principle of a child-adult community, which is based on the democratic style of adult influence on the child. The ability of an adult to show identification increases the child›s self-esteem, mood and social activity. Children transfer the actions of identification assigned by an adult into communication with peers: the club space becomes a school of social relations for children. In conclusion, the authors express possible risks of implementing the considered project. The essence of these risks come down to the erosion of effective elements of pedagogical practice in connection with the creation of the Russian Movement of Children and Youth, founded by «Bolshaya Peremena» and the subsequent integration of existing children›s movements and communities. The authors emphasize that the «Bolshaya Peremena» clubs are exclusively voluntary public associations, the main role of which is assigned to schoolchildren.

The research focuses on the problem of the core of pedagogical education. The authors prove the idea that the current nomenclature semantics of the term is not consistent with scientific approaches and, in particular, with pedagogical and philosophical ideas about education as a cultural phenomenon. The authors consider the core of pedagogical education in a contemporary classical Russian university as a conceptual structure that describes the principles and approaches to the pedagogical education’s content, the implementation of which will enhance the quality of pedagogical education and, thereby, restore the professional level of the Russian school education. The authors reveal the causes of the phenomenon, introduce the concept of pedagogical anomie as an integral characteristic of the system of relations developing in the system of university education, and analyze the influence of pedagogical anomie on the content of pedagogical education. The research discusses (1) the main ways of updating the content of pedagogical education, which would make up the core of pedagogical education, which would include the worldview training of teachers to lay the ground for their ability to become an educator; (2) scientific and research training of future teachers to form their scientific mode of thinking and ability for scientific creativity; (3) securing the balance between research and practical components in higher pedagogical education, consisting of a scientific approach to the content of practice and the study of practical problems of pedagogy in scientific training; (4) the formation of pedagogical education as a holistic pedagogical system consisting of methodologically and scientifically interconnected components, as well as interdisciplinarity (the presence of a multicultural dialogue in pedagogical education, which presupposes the unity of the national pedagogical education while maintaining its plurality and regional uniqueness)

This research examines the features of the evolution of the national system of training researchers and scientific and pedagogical personnel during the Soviet and Russian periods. Nowadays, the issue of studying the organization and management of the system of training scientific and pedagogical personnel is in the focus of the Russian scientific community and the public administration bodies implementing scientific and educational policy in the country. The research aims to identify and characterize the features of the system of training scientific and pedagogical personnel in the USSR and Russia. Based on a systemic approach combined with the historical method, the authors identify three major stages in the development of Russian postgraduate studies relied on the main regulatory legal documents. The authors also assess the results of decisions taken in the field of training scientific and pedagogical personnel. During the research, the authors came to several conclusions. First, it is quite possible to form an effective environment for training scientific and scientific and pedagogical personnel in Russia. Second, the course for the country’s technological independence may be really implemented based on the Soviet heritage and the experience of modern Russia. Third, the goals of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia may be achieved if outlined federal projects are implemented by all participants of the science and higher education system, the items of the “Concept of training teachers for the education system for the period up to 2030” are truly applied in practice, and the state administration bodies, responsible for the development and implementation of state policy in the field of higher professional education, provide comprehensive support to the younger generation in science.
