SCHOOL OF HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE VILLAGE OF IVANOVSKOE, YAROSLAV REGION: THEORY OF THE QUESTION
An article by V. S. Martyshin, a well-known teacher, the founder of the Ivanovo School of Holistic Development, until recently its principal, and now the priest of the church built next to the school, reveals the question of the methodological approaches that guide this school. The author writes that he relies on the Russian classical pedagogical tradition, on the approaches of Western European thinkers and teachers, but develops his own approach of the «holistic development school». Behind the integrity there is also a special set of disciplines that cover the entire educational spectrum necessary for a modern schoolchild, and reliance on the study of spiritual and moral disciplines - benevolence, ancestry, etc., extensive local history work, immersion in historical eras, etc. The theoretical approaches used at school to achieve the goal of «holistic development» are revealed.
