K.D. Ushinsky’s "Native Word" as a Brilliant Creation of Russian Pedagogical Culture (to the 160th Anniversary of the First Edition)

The article contains the author’s vision of the role and significance of K.D. Ushinsky’s contribution to the world pedagogical thought. The author examines in detail the principles of K.D. Ushinsky’s pedagogy: the principle of Orthodoxy, the anthropological principle, the principle of nationality, the principle of science. Based on the material of the original source “Native Word” and scientific works devoted to the critical analysis of this work and K.D. Ushinsky’s contribution to the development of pedagogical science, a conclusion is drawn about the significant achievements of the teacher. Among them: the formation of the national education system, the development of Russian pedagogical science, the upbringing of a child, including through the tradition of studying the Law of God and preserving the Orthodox family, the perception of study as serious work - that is, the unity of education and upbringing. The return of the modern Russian school to the values of K.D. Ushinsky will allow filling the educational space with moral, aesthetic, spiritual, patriotic, and labor education. At the end of the article, the author offers practical recommendations for the revival and actualization of the pedagogical heritage of K.D. Ushinsky.
