Extracurricular Activities: Formation of Schoolchildren’s Cultural Competence on the Basis of Precedent Names in the Russian Culture

Abstract

In this study we investigate the formation of schoolchildren’s general cultural competence using extracurricular reading assignments in the Russian language. The teaching method was based on a project-based pedagogical technology and consisted in the creation of an illustrated dictionary of precedent names in the Russian culture. The result of the study ‘Pushkiniana – a unique phenomenon of the Russian culture’ is presented in the form of a curriculum for extracurricular activities, including thematic planning, a technological map and a fragment of the lesson ‘Alexander Pushkin – the сreator of modern Russian literary language’ in the form of lexicographical workshop.
