CRAFTS IN THE LABOR TRAINING OF STUDENTS IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE OF THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY

The labor training of students of general education institutions allows them to form a set of skills and abilities necessary for their further socialization and professional adaptation. The importance of labor training is confirmed by the adoption of legislative acts providing for the study by schoolchildren of the educational subject “Labor (technology)”, the participation of students in socially useful work. Understanding the importance of labor training determines the need to build an effective system of labor (technological) education for schoolchildren. The analysis of the historical experience of organizing the study of crafts in the labor training of students in the Russian Empire in the early twentieth century will make it possible to form an effective system of labor (technological) education of schoolchildren at the present stage. The analysis of academic and pedagogical research devoted to various aspects of the study of crafts in the labor training of students in the Russian Empire of the early twentieth century is carried out. The features of teaching crafts are considered using the example of various types of educational institutions: craft workshops, labor schools, mining schools, craft departments at public schools, schools of free education.
