THE PECULIARITIES OF DESIGN EDUCATION IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The article deals with problems of teaching design in the Russian educational space. It considers step-by-step teaching of aesthetic disciplines covering the periods of preschool education, secondary school education, as well as obtaining secondary vocational and higher education. The paper pays special attention to state educational standards in terms of the formation of professional competencies among university graduates. An important place in the study is given to the consideration of alternative design training within the framework of additional professional education, which is not constrained by the framework of state standards, and therefore allows for more flexible formation of training programs and trajectories. Studying the experience of these educational institutions will bring us closer to understanding how it is necessary to implement design education in Russia, what steps professional communities need to take to meet the current demand of the labor market and be attractive in the global design space.
