Abstract:
The article gives a generalized description of the pedagogical views of the outstanding Russian teacher-enlightener of the nineteenth century. V.F. Odoevsky, which is significant, since there is still no adequate assessment of the place and value of the thinker in the domestic pedagogical tradition. This is due, first of all, to the polyphony of its multifaceted creative heritage, which couldn’t be reduced to a specific subject content and, in its essence, involves polydisciplinary research. The periodization of the historiography of the study of pedagogical views and enlightening activity of V.F. Odoevskyis substantiated, which organically includes three periods: pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-soviet. Literary and pedagogical creativity of the thinker, who holds the priority of creating a new genre in children's literature – a science fiction tale with clearly expressed genre features is characterized. The totality of his views on the problems of religious, moral and civic education, which have an enduring significance, is presented. Conceptualized a set of approaches to creating a didactic model of general education, which has great predictive value. It is proved that V.F. Odoevsky has formed the leading directions in the formation and development of humanistic pedagogy in Russia in subsequent epochs: the relationship of learning with life and the application of this theory in educational practice; on the true education of children on the basis of progressive scientific knowledge; on a comprehensive and careful study of the psychology of children of different ages; on the development of attention, observation, interest, cognitive activity and independence of pupils on the basis of the didactic principles developed by him (visibility of training, timeliness, consistency, scientific character, combination of formal and material in education). The author substantiates the assertion that on the whole the pedagogical concept of V.F. Odoevsky was a kind of matrix for the development of native education of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Abstract:
Physic and Mathematics faculties appeared in the universities of Russian Empire at the beginning of XIX century and Natural departments appeared only at the ending of the 1830-s – beginning of the 1840-s. That’s why professors’ positions of specialization in biology were taken by persons with medical education. Utilitarian view at the University was attractive for noble students, who didn’t want to make a career in science that was the reason for prevalence of the clergy and foreigners/emigrants’ children among biology professors at the second quarter of XIX century. Among four biology professors of the 1830-50-s who didn’t have medical education only two had graduated from Natural departments of Russian Universities, one was a graduating student of Main Pedagogical Institute, one more was a graduating student of Dorpat University. Only in the 1860-s situation was changed: science as an occupation for nobles became not “dishonourable”, general success of science gave a birth to the great interest in society and provoked young men to enter Natural departments and the development of educational and scientific institutions needs skilled personnel. As a result of these processes at the second half of XIX century the absolute majority of biology professors from Natural departments of Russian Universities were their graduating students.

Abstract:
in secondary General education, secondary and elementary professional education institutions of Siberia and its influence on the mood of pupils in the region in the late XIX – early XX centuries. The main sources were: the laws of the Russian Empire, the religious composition of students, minutes of meetings of the pedagogical councils of the petition of the students stored in the archive funds of educational institutions of Siberia, the documents of law enforcement, letters and orders of the Trustee of the West Siberian school district. The authors make a conclusion that at the turn of XIX – XX centuries in the schools of Siberia religious and moral direction was the main direction of educational work with pupils. This forcible imposition of Christianity in school, lack of consideration for the multi-religious composition of pupils and forcing them to the performance of religious duties has caused protest on the part of many pupils of educational institutions, which demanded the abolition of compulsory attendance by pupils of the Church, of non-requirement of observance of posts and study of God's Law. Analysis of changes in the production of religious and educational work in educational establishments of Siberia allowed to the conclusion that the forcible imposition of Orthodoxy in the environment of pupils led to the opposite result. The effectiveness of religious-educational work in the school was low.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to research the activity of the state authorities and social organizations aimed at the establishment of the system of industrial education during the economic modernization in Russia at the edge of XIX–XX centuries. The research is based on the discussions about the relation between the general and special education, raised in the specialized journals devoted to the problems of technical and commercial education, as well as the discussion of these problems in the course of the activity of the branch congresses of entrepreneurs, who were potentially interested in training of the new employees for the developing industry. The respective debates reflected the willingness of the state and society to solve the problem of increasing the quality of human capital, which should have helped to complete the programme of the country’s social and economic development. The author makes a conclusion that, taking into account the low level of the general education, both among the workers at industrial enterprises and among the whole country’s population, the educational institutions of technical and commercial specialization faced the problem to determine the optimal educational programme which was easy to learn for the students of specialized educational institutions taking into account the significant deficit of knowledge received at general school. This situation resulted in the fact that Russian technical institutions and high schools had to compensate the deficit of humanitarian education by means of widening the list of general theoretical disciplines which, in its turn, resulted in the increased normative terms of education and, in this regard, negatively affected the speed of development of special education. The other side of this problem was the ambition to develop the own original model of training employees for the developing industry, having not only specialized knowledge but also a solid general theoretical education, which definitely increased the quality of human capital during the transformation of the agricultural state into the industrial one.

Abstract:
The article deals with the elementary military and secondary spiritual education in the Russian empire. Nearly 2400 profiles are analysed. The article consists of two parts. In each a brief history of the educational establishment is given, as well as the technique of the investigation in relation to its peculiarities. The author indicates similar traits as well as differences, which allow implementing a comparative approach to these two types of educational establishments. The period under review is about 110 years, from the first decade of the XIX the century to the year 1918. Within it the author discriminates three stages that more or less coincide for both types of specialized secondary educational establishments: the first comprises the reign of Alexander I, Nicholas I and the early reign of Alexander II, who initiated liberal reforms in many spheres, including education, in the Russian empire (second stage). The last one is all about the reign of Alexander III and Nicholas II. The author shows that there is a direct correspondence between the type of education and its influence on the school-leavers’ choice of profession or career and on the social and cultural development of the country in the XIXth – early XXth century.

Proper measures based on instructions of the General department of military schools allowed to moderate the forms of hazing between pupils, give the positive direction to the tradition of comradeship and almost completely eliminate the homoerotic expressions. These achievements conduced to the improvement of the moral climate in the institution, helped to increase the class discipline and academic performance, promoted the cultural and aesthetic development of pupils. Results of this study may be used in the course of organization of pedagogical activity in contemporary military educational institutions of different levels, as well as in boarding educational institutions.

Abstract:
The article is an overview of regional history textbooks and learning guides. We have chosen 95 items that were issued during the period from 2000 to 2016 inclusively in different territories of Russian Federation. This source base is very various and it helped us to understand the situation about educational literature on regional history. Basing on the completed analysis, we defined the main aims of learning the history of native land using contemporary textbooks and learning guides. These aims are: forming a knowledge about the importance of native land, its achievements and problems; development of the ability to work with sources on lessons and after classes. To solve these problems we tried to include regional history in the system of Russian history teaching. We tried to take into account students’ knowledge level and age features. We foreseeing the relationship between regional history textbooks (learning guides) and the common course of Russian history. We attempt to aim regional historic courses at using intersubject communications, which are the foundation of integration of students’ knowledge with their practical skills. Nevertheless, these intensions often remain no realized. In connection with this, we suggest to develop a compulsory external examination procedure of regional history textbooks and learning guides with a system of corresponding requirements.

Abstract:
Nowadays media- and information literacy (MIL) is not only important competence, that promotes critical thinking, evaluation, analysis, effective use of information and interaction with different types of media, but also a catalyst for the development of tolerant, democratic and humanistic societies of knowledge. For this reason it's very important to describe approaches that exist in science to the definition of the concept and compare it to such terms as information and media literacy. This article provides an overview of definitions of concepts which are interested to us, as well as the author's comparison table in which the main concepts, their target audience, main competencies are extracted and compared. Due to the method of comparison, we can conclude that media information literacy is the “umbrella term” that does not include the notions that existed before, but is partly adjacent to them. It is a qualitatively new competence directed to work with information, interaction with the media, including critical thinking skills, understanding, interpreting information in different areas of professional, educational and social activities; including ethical and legal knowledge about information activity. Media- and information literacy gives citizens the opportunities and potential for self-expression and is directed to building a tolerant, pluralistic, civil society of knowledge.
