Literary Education in Russia: Problems and Trends

Abstract

This article provides solutions of several key pedagogical problems by means of "Literature" subject. The following questions are actualized in the pedagogical and methodological aspects: poly-ethnicity of the school audience; teaching literature in the conditions of inclusion, creating a concept of life-long literary education, the introduction of modern literature into a school course. Along with the modern pedagogical and methodological problems solutions, the work highlights that the introduction of modern content and technological innovations into the process of teaching literature does not mean abandoning the successful (as the time shows) three hundred year old tradition of literature study in the Russian school. The systematic correlation of the modern teaching literature and its historical model will maintain the continuity of literary education. The article reasonably concludes that the success of the Russian literary education is based on strong connection of innovations and special national traditions.
