Basic Directions and Tasks in the Further Development of Scientific Research in Defectology

The basic directions of scientific research in defectology are determined by the tasks growing out of the decrees of the Party and the government on the school, on communist education, and on the teaching of the younger generation.

Theoretical Problems of Aesthetic Education in the Study of Literature

The uniqueness of educational tasks in the study of literature grows out of the specific features of the school subject itself, which incorporates enormous reserves of aesthetic and moral education in close interrelation. The objective connection between the aesthetic and the ethical, between art and morality comprises the basis for education during the experiencing and understanding of literature and art. "The educational significance of art is immense," stated A. V. Lunacharskii. "In my view, this is its main role, and the question of educational significance is the most important of all the questions that may be posed in connection with art" (in the collection Revolution — Art — Children [Revoliutsiia-iskusstvo-deti], Moscow, "Prosveshchenie" Publishers, 1966). Raising and strengthening the role of art in communist education and in the ideological struggle and securing the comprehensive development of the individual prompt modern researchers to articulate the nature of the aesthetic and the essence of art.

Ideological and Political Education and the Combat Training of Troops in the Years of the Great Patriotic War

The theory and practice of the communist education and training of personnel in the Soviet army, air force, and navy were born in the austere years of the Civil War and foreign military intervention. Their methodological, ideological, and political principles were elaborated by V. I. Lenin. Lenin's ideas on the education and training of the servicemen of a socialist state have been developed in the decisions of the Communist Party and the Soviet government and in pronouncements by foremost Soviet military leaders M. V. Frunze, M. N. Tukhachevskii, I. P. Uborevich, and others. In resolving everyday, routine problems of troop training, in its congresses and at plenums of its Central Committee, the Communist Party has provided basic principles pertaining to the training and education of personnel that have directed and are directing the theoretical and practical work of commanders [komandiry], political workers [politrabotniki], and researchers in the realm of military pedagogy (see The Communist Party of th...

The importance of introducing different painting materials and techniques in the 5th-6th forms of secondary schools

The training of creative abilities is the principal task of youth communist education. At the drawing lessons this problem has been solved mainly through the contents of instruction in conformity with the traditional rules of academic drawing. Up to now little attention was paid to the use of various painting materials and techniques in the process of training. The use of different painting materials and techniques at the drawing lessons effects pupils’ mental and physical qualities, broadens their outlook, develops their creative abilities, artistic taste and habits of drawing. Thus it is advisable to introduce water-colours, Indian ink, lead, stamping, drawing and other techniques at the drawing lessons in secondary school. After the acquaintance with various painting materials and techniques the pupils’ perception of folk and Professional art, of the synthesis of form and contents deepens.

Lenin And Krupskaya in The Struggle for Public Education

Lenin on the Independent Initiative and Creativity of the Personality in the Moral Sphere

V. I. Lenin's formulation of the problem of the moral individual has very great importance for the theory and practice of communist education. Vladimir Il'ich considered activity in the struggle for communist ideals as the most striking feature of such an individual. In seeing communist morality as a powerful transforming force, he taught that the education of the masses in a spirit of devotion to communism, in collectivism, socialist humanism, patriotism, and internationalism, was the major task of ideological work. He demanded that consciousness of the absolute binding nature of communist moral standards be instilled in all members of our society. Lenin considered the Soviet people's moral unity, formed on this basis, as a clear manifestation of the superiority of socialism over capitalism.

Fifty Years of Soviet Methodology in the Teaching of Literature

Soviet methodology in the teaching of literature has traveled a complicated, difficult, but fruitful path. It was nurtured in its early stages by such inspired leaders of communist education as A. V. Lunacharskii and N. K. Krupskaya. The most eminent Soviet writers had a positive influence on its development and progress: M. Gorky and A. Makarenko, A. Tolstoi and A. Fadeev, K. Chukovskii and S. Marshak. It would be difficult to find any learned, leading literary figure who was not in some way involved in methodological life, thus taking part in conferences of teachers who specialized in philology, in drafting school curriculums and teaching aids, and in editing material to be published for school use. From the very first days of the October Revolution, hundreds of teachers joined in creating a methodology, and the most prominent Soviet methodologists came from their ranks: M. A. Rybnikova and K. P. Spasskaia — teachers in the Malakhovsk experimental demonstration school; I. P. Plotnikov, a Kursk teacher and philologist; and two teachers of literature in the schools, N. M. Sokolov and V. V. Golubkov.
