Derzhavin University, together with Smolensk State University, organized a separate online section as part of the III All-Russian Forum “Pedagogical Education in the Russian Classical University”. The moderators were the director of the Derzhavin University Center for Continuing Pedagogical Education, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Igor Sharshov and the head of the Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Education of Smolensk State University, Candidate of Philosophy, Associate Professor Katerina Kabagidze.
The section is devoted to a topic that is relevant for the development of the higher education system: “The pedagogical culture of a higher school teacher in the new reality.” There are very few scientific studies devoted to the formation and development of a university teacher. In contrast to scientific works studying the professional pedagogical activity of a teacher or the preparation of a future teacher - a student of pedagogical specialties. Olga Vasilyeva has repeatedly spoken about this, highlighting the need for research in the field of higher education pedagogy.
“The Scientific Pedagogical School of Derzhavin University has extensive experience in such research in the context of developing the professionalism of subjects of the educational process - teachers and students - in the system of lifelong education. University scientists are engaged in a detailed study of the characteristics of the individual style of pedagogical activity of a higher school teacher, the essence and models of professional and creative self-development of teachers and students, and the peculiarities of interaction between subjects of the educational process at the university,” says Igor Sharshov.
Leading scientists and teachers in this field from Moscow, Belgorod, Tambov, and Smolensk are also involved in the work of the section.
