The relevance of the problem under study is based on the necessity to determine the directions of studying and improving the vocational pedagogical education (the system of training vocational pedagogical teachers) in Russia. The purpose of the article is to identify the periodization of establishment and development of the vocational pedagogical education in Russia depending upon the changes of its organizational and pedagogical foundations that occur under the influence of socio-economic and socio-pedagogical factors. The leading approach to studying this problem is historic-logical one which allows us to identify stages of establishment and development of the vocational pedagogical education based on the qualitative changes of its organization and content that are perceived as a reaction to socio-economic and socio-pedagogical conditions at certain periods of time. Based on the qualitative changes of the organizational and pedagogical foundations of the vocational pedagogical education occurred under the influence of the changes in the society during more than a hundred years’ time, the stages of establishment and development of the vocational education are detailed in this article. It is stated that the main directions of the Russian vocational teachers’ training system development were determined by the requirements imposed upon the system by vocational education and industries. It is shown that the idea of industry-specific vocational and psychological training and training for a worker’s profession is the leading one in elaborating the vocation education development strategy. The article can be useful for academic specialists and practitioners in the sphere of vocational and vocational pedagogical education, candidates for a master’s degree and students of vocational pedagogical universities and faculties. © 2016 Fedorov and Tretyakova

Стремительные социально-экономические изменения требуют новых методов и форм профессиональной подготовки, перестройки содержания профессионального образования – т. е. его модернизации, которая не может осуществляться без наличия квалифицированных педагогических кадров. Поэтому качественная профессионально-педагогическая подготовка становится сегодня не просто одной из составляющих сферы образования, а, без преувеличения, гарантией социально-экономического благополучия страны. Чтобы обеспечить должное функционирование системы профессионально-педагогического образования (ППО), необходимо понять его специфику и закономерности развития, для чего следует проследить становление и эволюцию системы. Цель статьи – ретроспективный анализ на организационно-содержательном уровне процесса развития ППО в России как социально-педагогической системы. Методология и методики исследования. Ведущим в исследовании проблем ППО стал историко-логический подход, позволяющий выстроить четкую последовательность формирования сложившейся к настоящему времени системы подготовки преподавателей специальных дисциплин и мастеров производственного обучения и на этой основе выявить ее недостатки и возможности. Результаты и научная новизна. Дан краткий экскурс в историю отечественного и зарубежного профессионально-педагогического образования, существовавшего до начала ХХ в. Представлена хронология развития ППО в России начиная с 20-х гг. прошлого столетия до современного периода. Согласно ключевым изменениям, происходящим в целевой и организационно-содержательной части ППО, выделены и описаны шесть его этапов. Показано, что развитие данного вида образования как социально-педагогической системы обусловлено социально-экономическими факторами и административными решениями; в то же время система ППО имеет собственные закономерности, принципы функционирования и внутренний потенциал для дальнейшего совершенствования.Подчеркивается актуальность обращения к истории ППО. Рефлексия по поводу накопленного положительного и отрицательного опыта способствует более точной диагностике тенденций в этой области, помогает избежать прежних ошибок, нивелировать существующие противоречия и выбрать наиболее эффективную стратегию развития ППО. Практическая значимость. Материалы публикации могут быть востребованы научными и практическими работниками, принимающими участие в подготовке педагогов профессионального обучения и занимающимися прогнозированием и проектированием развития системы профессионально-педагогического образования.
