Historical experience in the development of teaching aids on the history of the native land for schoolchildren in the context of the modern educational situation (on the example of the Ural Federal District)

The article provides an overview of educational and methodological manuals on the history of the native land for schools of the subjects of the Russian Federation located in the Ural Federal District, which appeared in the period from the 1970s to the present day. A comparison of the situation in the Tyumen, Kurgan, Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk Regions and the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs was made. The assessment of the compliance of the available textbooks with the modern requirements of the school educational system, the historical and cultural standard of school education, and the study of all-Russian historical processes in history lessons is given. The conclusion is made about the insufficient provision of educational and methodological material on the history of the native land in modern schools of the Ural Federal District. This situation is due to the varying degree of development of the manuals in the analyzed subjects. The hypothesis is put forward that the work in the field of creating a unified textbook on the history of the Ural Federal District can become an additional guarantee of countering the trends in the formation of excessive national identity. Based on the new manual, which will take into account the current requirements of the modern school educational system, it will be possible to create the necessary link between local and all-Russian history, when a student, feeling part of his region, would at the same time feel part of a large region.
