Evolvement of Russian professional education as a basis for the development of professional education in human locomotion

The article examines the genesis of the Russian vocational education, which has laid the foundation for Russian vocational education in the field of human locomotion. The authors used a theoretical and retrospective approach, enabling the identification of the primary stages in the evolution of vocational education. This method facilitated the analysis of its transformation and the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships, thereby contributing to the development of the educational system. The study encompassed significant historical milestones, starting from the emergence of the first forms of education within Orthodox monasteries and the establishment of educational institutions under the patronage of Peter the Great, culminating in the evolution of vocational education in the 19th and 20th centuries. A comprehensive review of the reform process in the system of training specialists was conducted, including the introduction of compulsory education in trade schools, the establishment of universities, the development of the engineering education system, and the organization of factory schools during the Soviet period. Furthermore, the study examined the impact of social and economic transformations on the vocational education. The authors analyzed the development of educational programs, the influence of scientific discoveries on teaching methods, and the training of teaching staff. Vocational education in the field of human motor activity requires a systematic approach to the training of specialists. This approach must take into account scientific achievements, labor market needs, and educational traditions. The theoretical and retrospective method facilitated the identification of regularities in the development of the educational system and the determination of its future directions, thus ensuring the continuity of knowledge and improving the quality of teacher training.
