Abstract

The work focuses on studying the theoretical foundations of vocational pedagogical education, developed by scientists, educational management employees, and practicing teachers in the 1920s – early 1930s. This is the stage of system formation of training teachers of particular professional disciplines and industrial training instructors (masters). The purpose of the study is to establish the most significant and conceptual theoretical provisions formulated on the problems of the organization and content of training special teaching staff in the historical period under study. The study results, generalization, and systematization of documents and materials found in archival and library funds related to the formation of a system for training special pedagogical personnel are presented. This study is significant not only for understanding the features of the genesis of the vocational and pedagogical education system as an independent industry in the Russian education system, which successfully developed up to the 2000s, but also for determining the prospects for its development in the new socio-economic and socio-cultural realities.
