Historical Experience and Problems of Training Teaching Staff for Nautical Educational Institutions of the Russian Empire at the Beginning of the 20th Century

Abstract

The problematic issues of training the teaching staff for nautical educational institutions of the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century are considered. The article is the first work on the history of nautical education in the field of training future teachers of nautical educational institutions in Russia. Attention is drawn to the peculiarities of the work of the “pedagogical courses” organized at the St. Petersburg School of Distant Navigation of Emperor Peter I. Four graduations that trained teachers for nautical educational institutions are analyzed. It is noted that the First World War, which broke out in 1914, interrupted the work of pedagogical courses. It is concluded that "pedagogical courses" no longer resumed their work, and after the October Revolution of 1917, other forms of training teachers of nautical educational institutions were found.
