Designing the logic and content of teacher training in orthodox religious education

Abstract

In the system of modern Russian education, the process of teaching religion again exists and develops. However, there are still no works in Russian pedagogy devoted to scientific analysis, generalization and development of experimentally confirmed methodological recommendations for the implementation of an effective process of religious education of the individual. The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems of scientific and pedagogical research devoted to the problem of religious education, to identify and designate those tasks, the solution of which will contribute to the formation and development of a new branch of knowledge and academic discipline of the university - the methodology of teaching religion.Materials and methods. The leading research methods were the search and analysis of the problems of scientific and pedagogical research devoted to the designated problem, the synthesis, generalization and comparison of material from general and particular didactic studies.Results. The search and analysis of scientific works carried out in the Russian Federation on the methodology of teaching religion led the author of the article to state the fact that there is no pedagogical research, primarily in the field of teaching religion in confession-oriented educational institutions. At the same time, the established practice of religious education in Russia requires its deep scientific analysis and generalization, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the development of conceptual positions and approaches to the teaching of religion. They can be different depending on the tasks that scientists will see as a priority in teaching religion, on the age characteristics of students, on the types of educational institutions that implement the process of religious education of students.Conclusions. The author of the article proposes to consider the task of religious and moral development and education of the individual as a priority in the development of a strategy for the religious education of schoolchildren in confession-oriented educational institutions, indicates possible principles, methods and technologies of education aimed at solving it.
