STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MARITIME EDUCATION IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The article substantiates and reveals the authors’ perspective on periodization of development of the maritime professional school in Russia. The authors demonstrate how, from empirical training in maritime practice and isolated schools of the Petrine era, the Russian Federation has developed a complex, multi‑level system of maritime education, which continues to evolve in response to modern challenges. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the evolution of this system in Russia. The researchers have constructively applied the following methods: historical‑genetic; comparative‑historical; problem‑chronological; system analysis; historical‑pedagogical analysis; study of historical sources and the results of dissertation works; content analysis; the principle of historicism and objectivity. The results of the study are presented, and they have significant theoretical and practical value. The obtained results are of particular interest to teachers and management of maritime educational organizations in Russia. The provisions and conclusions set out in the article can serve as a basis for further study of issues and areas for improving the quality of maritime education in our country.
