Faculty of Pedagogics

In 1986 the Tobolsk State Social and Pedagogical Academy named after D.I. Mendeleev opened its faculty of Pedagogics and an elementary education technique (P&MNO). Graduates of the faculty are awarded the qualification «Teacher of elementary school».

Since 1990 various new special subjects have been introduced into the syllabus - computer science, foreign languages, music, world culture and psychology. Since 1998 the subjects of teacher-psychologist and the social teacher have also been introduced.

In 2000 P&MNO was renamed the Pedagology and Psychology faculty (PPF) with three departments: theory and method of elementary education, general and social pedagogics, and practical psychology. In 2004 a new speciality was added – Pedagogics and preschool education technique (P&MDO). Graduates are awarded the qualification “Methodologist-organizer of a preschool education”. In November 2004 in connection with the above the Academic council decided to split PPF into two separate faculties: the Socio-psychological faculty and the Pedagogical faculty.

Today there are two departments within the Pedagogical faculty:

• theory and methods of elementary education;
• theory and methods of preschool education.

The faculty is supervised by Slinkina Valentine Frantsevna, candidate of pedagogical sciences and senior lecturer. She has published more than 25 scientific works.
