Museum pedagogy as a strategy for teaching cultural studies in technical universities
- Authors:
- O. V. Bezzubova
The main problem of the article is the methodology of teaching the theory and history of culture in technical universities. Traditional teaching methods are currently ineffective and require a new approach. The main problems are a consequence of the negative attitude of students to the humanities and traditional methods of their teaching. We consider the theory of museum communication and mu-museum pedagogy to be the basis of an alternative approach. We believe that visual communication should become the main way of modern education, since modern multimedia allows applying the principles of museum pedagogy even without visiting museums.

- Authors:
- E. M. Gashkova
The article shows modern aspects of teaching the theory and history of culture in technical universities. The questions of dialog "teacher-violet", formation of new in-formation space and continuity of values are considered. The concept of "culture-digma" is introduced and classification of culture-digmas in the educational process is given. The cultural digma is a characteristic of mentality, including the attitude to culture as a whole, the chosen system of cultural values and the ability to cultural interaction. There are differentiated "traditional/common", "romantic/individualistic" and "indifferent/civilization" culturantigmas. The educational model and type of communication with students of each cultural group are presented.

Theme "Archaic Culture" in the course of cultural studies for students of technical universities
- Authors:
- S. A. Kirilenko
The article presents the principles of selection and arrangement of information on the topic "Primitive Culture" when teaching students of technical universities. This topic occupies the most important place in the cycle of lectures on philosophy and history of culture. Primitive culture is the first topic considered in the historical part of the course, so it is within the lecture on primitive culture that the teacher can and should show students how the realities of a particular culture can be considered on the basis of previously postulated theoretical principles. We believe it is appropriate that the lecture be based on the theory of anthropologist P. Radin. Radin noted that primitive culture is characterized by a pragmatic and realistic perception of life, and that magic and religious thinking are of a secondary nature. Taking into account this idea, we arrange the topics of the lecture on primitive culture along the axis "practice-mentality": from the description of the function of survival culture to the description of the function of comprehension.

Features of teaching the history of world culture in the framework of the course "Cultural Studies" at the St. Petersburg State Technological Institute (on the example of the history of ancient culture)
- Authors:
- A. I. Klimin
The article presents the structure and methodology of teaching the theory and history of culture at St. Petersburg State Technological Institute (Technical University). Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of teaching the history of world culture, in particular the history of Ancient Greece and Rome. The methodology proposed in the article allows, on the one hand, to focus students' attention on the most important characteristics of the civilization of Greece and Rome, taking into account its essential specificity, and, on the other hand, to reveal the sequence of cultural influences in the development of European civilization. The task is not only to present individual facts and theoretical statements, but also to comprehend a different - in this case Greco-Roman - culture through the presentation of its essential features.

Cultural studies in technical universities: unnecessary luxury or urgent necessity?
- Authors:
- L. K. Kruglova
In the conditions of scientific and technological progress, the importance of self-regulation mechanisms of social life generated by culture is increasing. The main role among them belongs to morality, because the relationship of morality to culture in general is similar to the relationship of culture to society: it is an element that determines the overall state of the system. For technical universities, the teaching of cultural theory is of great importance. The unprecedented technical power of mankind in our days can become not only dangerous, but also useful. Only an educated person who understands the principles of social communication and humanistic values can distinguish good from evil. Therefore, the study of cultural studies is a vital necessity for representatives of engineering disciplines.

On the specifics of conducting seminar classes on the course "Cultural Studies"
- Authors:
- O. V. Sapenok
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.
