Abstract

This work is dedicated to the application of the foundations of pedagogic anthropology in the study of foreign literary characters. Foreign literature as a subject and the study of literature characters is a natural environment for the application of pedagogic anthropology in the middle school, as for the readers literary heroes become role models in the development of their personality and worldview, they are the prism through which life values are perceived and evaluated and personal worldview is developed. Anthropologic component humanizes the process of learning, ensures anthropologically oriented interpretation of its contents and makes applied methodology more efficient. Here we argue for the necessity of taking into consideration distinctive features of individual pupil’s psyche in the choice of educational methodology in the study of literary characters, in particular its socio-historic nature, goal setting and prediction, abstraction, activity, creative character, self-control, articulation of ideas and results and reflection. Methods and forms of work have to motivate pupils to independently determine their readiness to work, estimate personal development, note changes in personal view and convictions, set desired trajectory for further development. The content of educational material must ensure the formation of basic cultural values in pupils and nurture a person capable of knowingly live a life in harmony of “science, art and morals”. In these conditions literary education becomes an important factor of spiritual development of pupil readers, an important part of their consciousness and activity, facilitate spreading and following of cultural norms, values and knowledge, which are represented in literary works and their characters.
