Развитие отечественной системы дополнительного образования - исторические параллели

Abstract

The research aims to carry out a comparative analysis of the system of schoolchildren’s additional education in the Soviet Union in the late 50s - early 60s and in modern Russia. The paper pays special attention to establishing a logical link between the key aspects of additional education: priority areas, delivery of social services under the government social-sector procurement, an individual’s socialisation. The main normative documents regulating activity of institutions of additional education during the chosen time periods are considered and analysed. Scientific novelty of the research lies in comparing schoolchildren’s additional education in the USSR in the late 1950s - early 1960s with that of the present time from the viewpoint of educational process organisation and social services delivery under the government and society social-sector procurement rather than basing on the ideological aspect. The research findings show that educational process organisation in institutions of additional education in the 1950s and 1960s has not lost its relevance but has been modernised and adapted to the contemporary conditions.
