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.

PEDAGOGICAL REFLECTION OF THEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE SYSTEM OF POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION // Pedagogical Review. 2018. Issue 4 (22). P. 143-150

In the conditions of today’s spiritual crisis and the search for “tools” for overcoming it, the qualitative updating of the system of postgraduate education is actualized by giving more attention to the cultural and humanitarian plan for teaching subjects. With this in mind, it is suggested not to ignore the cultural significance of religious knowledge, which is organically woven into Russian literature, history, into Russian pedagogy. The article is an experience of studying theological knowledge of teachers in the system of postgraduate education. An analysis of the literature in the field of the problem under study has been carried out, which has shown the researchers’ attempts to understand the role of cultural values that religion carries in pedagogical education and to offer technologies for their development. The ontogeny of the cultural experience of reading and understanding religious texts as an important component of the development of the axiological foundations of the worldview of the teacher is considered. The reasons for the teacher’s appeal to theological knowledge as a cultural component of Russian culture are substantiated. The conducted research meets the general tendency to use the interdisciplinary theoretical positions of a wide range of sciences: pedagogy, cultural studies, philosophy and religious studies. In this connection, at the present stage of Russia’s development, the actualization of anthropocentric pedagogy is increasing, whereas socialization is understood not as adaptation and conformation, but as cultivation of one’s own position in the world, including with the support of traditional Russian spiritual values. The conducted research meets the general tendency to use the interdisciplinary theoretical positions of a wide range of sciences: pedagogy, cultural studies, philosophy and religious studies.

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.

SOCIO-HUMANITARIAN TECHNOLOGIES OF SELF-MANAGEMENT AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ INDEPENDENT WORK // Pedagogical Review. 2022. Issue 3 (43). P. 60-67

This article discusses the system of socio-humanitarian self-management technologies aimed at forming a subjective position among the students of higher educational institutions in the implementation of educational activities and their readiness for self-development in building a learning trajectory. The purpose is to substantiate the use of socio-humanitarian technologies to improve the efficiency of students’ independent work in the open educational space of the university. The work used theoretical research methods, such as the study and analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources, and empirical, such as the study of results of activity, materials of reflection, content analysis. Based on the study and analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature on research issues, the concept of socio-humanitarian technologies has been clarified: it is a set of rationally built methods, procedures and algorithms for influencing individuals, social groups and processes with the following features: orientation towards the diversified development of the student’s personality; impact on both the individual and society; lack of a single impact in the presence of an algorithm; resource intensity, flexibility of procedures; social relations and processes aimed to obtaining humanitarian results; subject-subject orientation of relations. Several problems have been identified that have a negative impact on the successful implementation of students’ independent work in the open educational space of the university. For this purpose, a number of technologies have been identified that act as a resource for the development of students’ self-management and include support, time management, self-tutoring and the construction of an individual educational trajectory. Each technology is a separate module of the system, which together allows to qualitatively improve the skills of independent work in the learning process. The use of a system of socio-humanitarian technologies can significantly increase the level of efficiency of students’ independent work and positively affects their motivation for practice oriented activities, which was demonstrated by a study conducted with bachelor students who are studying in the training direction of the “Organization of Work with Young People” of the educational program “Socio-humanitarian technologies for supporting youth initiatives” of the National Research Tomsk State University.
