DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2020-2-52-59
The article analyzes the experience of Tomsk State Pedagogical University in conducting excursions about religious culture. The necessity of excursions to denominations within religious disciplines is substantiated, the experience of presenting religions through excursions to confessions is presented. The article presents the experience of presentation of religions through excursions to confessions, obtained during the visiting Museum practice and during the classroom work of students of Tomsk State Pedagogical University (specialties “Cultural Studies”, “History”, bachelor’s and master’s degree “Pedagogical education”). The article deals with the specifics of the students of the excursion, the peculiarities of the reaction to religious culture, the nature of the knowledge gained, their influence on the formation of a professional teacher. On the basis of the experience of conducting excursions, the changes in the perception of religious culture that occur in the listeners are analyzed. It is stated that after excursions religious culture does not cause rejection, interest is shown in religion as an element of the spiritual sphere of society. Of particular importance is the tour for undergraduates who are teachers. In the course of visiting excursions, undergraduates acquire new knowledge that allows them to better understand the processes of ethnoconfessional interaction in the city of Tomsk, and learn to organize such excursions, which is especially important for practicing teachers. The ideological influence of religious excursions does not lead to the integration of the student into the denomination. Such integration is impossible without becoming involved in religious practice. This means that the excursion, giving knowledge about religion, keeps intact the personal space of a student and does not impose alien values.
