Modern Scientific Understanding of the «Conceptspiritual and Moral Education»: Practical Aspect

Abstract

Problem and goal. The study is devoted to the understanding of the pedagogical community of the key category of the current regulatory legal acts in the field of education – “spiritual and moral education.” The implementation of one or another legally enshrined norm is carried out by specific subjects, who must first of all comprehend it, fill it with content and, as a result, implement it in their professional activities. In this regard, the search for an answer to the question “How is” spiritual and moral education “understood in modern scientific and pedagogical discourse?” was the purpose of this study. Research base and literature. The research was carried out on the basis of publications presented in the NEB eLIBRARY.RU. The article provides an overview of scientific works published in 2019 on the pedagogical category “spiritual and moral education”. The material for the review was publications posted on the portal in the free access, the authors of which share their experience or the experience of pedagogical collectives in the implementation of spiritual and moral education. Research results. In the presented review, attention is focused on publications of a practical nature, which accounted for ⅔ of all the works under consideration. The review of publications devoted to the experience of implementing spiritual and moral education is based on the technology of education proposed by N.E. Shchurkova. All publications are conditionally divided into those where the technology of spiritual and moral education is presented in a holistic manner, and those where its separate component is revealed; on publications devoted to spiritual and moral education in lesson activities and in extracurricular activities. Conclusion. The overwhelming number of publications is devoted to the organization of the external “moral” side of spiritual and moral education, while the spiritual component of the category under consideration is rarely in demand by modern authors. The description of the experience of the authors of the publications under consideration contains mainly a list of activities, while the description of the experience in organizing the semantic search activity of students in works is rare.
