About the historical experience of teacher training in Russian universities

Abstract

Based on the principle of the unity of historical and logical, the article presents the experience of the participation of the first Russian universities in the training of school teachers and the options for its possible actualization at the present time. The historical experience of this activity includes: the development of curricula, programs and teaching aids for university gymnasiums, where professors and students of the university teach; the opening of teachers' seminaries and institutes in the university structure; creation of a department of pedagogy and pedagogical courses at the university for the training of subject teachers from among graduates in various fields of science. In modern conditions, this experience can be successfully adapted to the realities of today in the form of: creating a university complex with a pedagogical college and institute included in its structure; building a system of continuing pedagogical education, starting with specialized pedagogical classes; creating a regional pedagogical cluster, with the leading role of the university.
