TOPICAL ISSUES OF TEACHING HUMANITARIAN DISCIPLINES IN A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Abstract

The article analyzes problems of teaching humanitarian disciplines at a university, their role and place in the educational process. It is shown that senior students begin to feel a certain lack of humanitarian knowledge. The factors of conditions to form motivation among students to study humanitarian knowledge are indicated. The basic principles of humanitarization of the educational environment at a university are formulated. The study of humanities is a guarantee of quality and comprehensive modern higher education. The authors conclude that humanitarian training today is largely formal: involving students in joint creative activities with the teacher takes up a small part of the educational process. Training in humanities should be an important stage of socialization of students, without which the educational function loses all meaning. Meanwhile, humanitarian education contributes to the development of useful practical skills in the analysis of complex social and economic phenomena, as well as historical aspects of the development of the country, individual peoples.
