THE FORMATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION IN YAKUTIA XVIII – EARLY XX CENTURY: HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article examines the problem of history of education in Yakutia from the XVIII to the beginning of the XX century. Special attention is paid to the identification of historical patterns and regional features of the development of general education in Yakutia, the evolution of pedagogical practices in the context of national reforms and local specifics, as well as the search for solutions to modern challenges: multilingualism, inaccessibility of territories and the preservation of cultural identity. The paper analyzes the prerequisites for the emergence of the first schools, the role of church missionary education and the influence of political exiles on the elimination of illiteracy and the development of general education. The idea is emphasized that an in-depth study of the history of pedagogy and ethnocultural educational traditions creates a methodological basis for a comprehensive understanding of the genesis and evolution of the general education system. The authors are of the opinion that historical and pedagogical knowledge is a necessary theoretical basis for understanding modern educational processes and forecasting their further development. It helps to establish connections between the past and the present, as the application of historical experience is crucial for training future teachers.
