Scientific and theoretical substantiation of the use of philately in the formation of a teacher's readiness for project activities

Abstract

The article discusses theoretical approaches to the use of philately in education, which have been developed in our country since the early 20s of the XX century. The formation of a teacher's readiness for project activities using philately is considered from the point of view of cultural, historical, pragmatic and humanistic approaches. We have identified and disclosed the following psychological and pedagogical aspects of the use of philately in teacher training: motivational, cognitive, and emotional-volitional. The analysis of foreign experience in the use of philately in Italy is carried out on the basis of the national program «Philately and schools». Development and implementation of the Philately Fundamentals program for teacher training at Northwestern Pedagogical University in China. Foreign experience demonstrates the high potential of philately as an educational resource. This confirms the possibility of its use in the training of teachers of housing and communal services for the formation of readiness for project activities.
