Abstract
The paper analyzes the content of the textbooks on the course “Fundamentals of Religious Cultures and Secular Ethics” (FRCSE) from the perspective of setting axiological problems aimed at civic, cultural, and ethical education of schoolchildren. The authors discuss fundamental issues that reveal the axiological content of the FRCSE textbooks used by the local teachers on the Trans-Baikal Territory. The analysis focuses on such issues as culture and attitude towards it, historical aspects of the subject modules, worldview, the source of the concepts of the world, the essence of a person, the purpose of life, morality and the Golden Rule of ethics, the concepts of good and evil, repentance and penitence, compassion and mercy, man and Motherland, defense of the Motherland, man and family, man and nature, man and labor, shrines, and cultural traditions. The authors come to the conclusion that a lot of the issues proposed for study in all textbooks have much in common and contribute to the development of the individual values-based attitude to the world. Still, there is a difference in the spiritual aspects of the content of different modules of the course. The fact is emphasized that information from the module “Fundamentals of World Religious Cultures” can hardly be perceived by a 10-year-old child and does not contribute to the development of their axiological position, and the preservation of their informational and spiritual security.
