On the specifics of conducting seminar classes on the course "Cultural Studies"
- St. Petersburg Forestry Academy
Abstract
The subject of the study is the origins and principles of construction of scientific and humanitarian educational traditions. The theory and history of culture is considered as a mediator providing the coincidence of professional and moral education, as it allows resolving the contradiction between specifically scientific and humanitarian educational traditions. From this point of view, seminars on theory and history of culture are seen as a dialog of students with different cultural traditions and value systems. The study of world cultural traditions in order to familiarize students with them is considered as the main condition for the formation of a creative personality capable of dialog with the bearers of different types of thinking and values.
