“REPLICAS” OF THE SOVIET IN MODERN SCHOOL EDUCATION ^{[№ 4 ' 2023]}
Modern Russian education is involved in the implementation of the policy of memory, for this the school uses various practices of commemoration, which, by perpetuating people, events, institutions, introduce the Soviet past into modern school culture. An analysis of normative documents and state education programs of recent years has shown that in the development of modern education programs, primarily patriotic education, they began to actively use the forms and methods of Soviet school education. This was confirmed by the results of a comparative analysis of three groups of sources: interviews of former teachers and schoolchildren about Soviet education; questioning of teachers and education advisers; plans for the educational work of several schools in Omsk. On the basis of theoretical and empirical analysis, the article concludes that many forms and methods of the Soviet system of education have returned to the modern school (rallies, meetings with war heroes, laying flowers at monuments, song and formation contests, etc.). But, at the same time, as the survey shows, the effectiveness of these forms of patriotic education is low. Of the many traditional practices, modern schoolchildren prefer observation and festive events. More complex communicative practices are incomprehensible, tedious, non-dynamic for them. The paper concludes that the problems of using these upbringing practices are due to the fact that they are a “replica”, repetition, they have lost their originality and power of emotional impact, and when using them, they do not take into account the characteristics (generational, psychological) of modern children.
