Pedagogical Journals

journals dealing with questions of upbringing, training, and education.

The first pedagogical journals appeared early in the 18th century. Mainly general in character, they were later differentiated according to branches of pedagogy, forms and stages of upbringing and education, types of educational institutions, age categories of pupils and students, academic subjects, geographical regions, and language.

Among the first pedagogical journals in England were J. Addison and R. Steele’s weekly Tatler (London, 1709–11), their Spectator (London, 1711–12 and 1714), and Steele’s Guardian (London, 1713); in France the Journal de famille ou livre des enfants (Paris, 1789); and in the USA the Juvenile Mirror or Educational Magazine (New York, 1812) and the American Journal of Education (Boston, 1826–39).

In Russia. The first Russian pedagogical journals were founded in the late 18th century and the early 19th. N. I. Novi-kov’s Pribavlenie k “Moskovskim vedomostiam” (1783–84) and V. Izmailov’s Patriot (Moscow, 1804) had pedagogical sections. Official pedagogical journals were Periodicheskoe sochinenie ob uspekhakh narodnogo prosveshcheniia (St. Petersburg, 1803–19), Zhurnal Departamenta narodnogo prosveshcheniia (St. Petersburg, 1821–24), and Zhurnal Ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniia (St. Petersburg, 1834–1917). The first scholarly pedagogical journal, Pedagogicheskii zhurnal (St. Petersburg, 1833–34), was founded by E. Gugel’, P. Gur’ev, and A. Obodov-skii.

Pedagogical journals were published by educational societies and by individual groups of educators and cultural figures. Before 1917, more than 300 pedagogical journals were published in 50 cities, half of them in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Best known were Russkii pedagogicheskii vestnik (St. Petersburg, 1857–61), Uchitel’ (St. Petersburg, 1861–70), L. N. Tolstoy’s Iasnaia Poliana (1862), Narodnaia shkola (St. Petersburg, 1869–89), Detskii sad, the first journal on preschool education (St. Petersburg, 1866–76; from 1877 to 1917 published as Vospitanie i obuchenie), Pedagogicheskii sbornik (St. Petersburg, 1864–1918), Sem ‘ia i shkola (St. Petersburg, 1871–88), Pedagogicheskii listok (St. Petersburg, 1871–85 and 1892–94; Moscow, 1894–1918), and Pedagogicheskii muzei (St. Petersburg; 1875— 80), the first pedagogical journal with critiques and book reviews. Other leading journals were Pedagogicheskaia letopis’ (St. Petersburg, 1876–77), Zhenskoe obrazovanie (St. Petersburg, 1876–91), Vestnik vospitaniia (Moscow, 1890–1917), Russkaia shkola (St. Petersburg, 1890–1917), Tekhnicheskoe obrazovanie (St. Petersburg, 1892–1907; from 1908 to 1917 published as Tekhnicheskoe i kommercheskoe obrazovanie), Svobodnoe vospitanie (Moscow, 1907–18), Dlia narodnogo uchitelia (Moscow, 1907–17), Pedagogicheskoe obozrenie (Moscow, 1912–15), and Professional’noe obrazovanie (Petrograd, 1915–17). Among pedagogical journals appearing during the Revolution of 1905–07 was the first legal Bolshevik journal, Molodost’ (St. Petersburg, 1906, no. 1), which sharply criticized the state system of public education.

In the USSR. Beginning with the Soviet period, pedagogical journals were published in the Union and autonomous republics in national languages as well as in Moscow and Leningrad. These journals dealt with problems of communist upbringing, of public education, and of pedagogical developments.

In the early years of Soviet power the principal pedagogical journals were the organs of the RSFSR People’s Commissariat of Education Kommunisticheskoe prosveshchenie (Moscow, 1920 and 1922–30) and Narodnoe prosveshchenie (Moscow, 1918–21), as well as the journal Na putiakh k novoi shkole (Moscow, 1922–33). The publication of pedagogical journals on teaching methods and on specific branches of pedagogy was begun in 1918 and expanded and reorganized into a unified system in the 1930’s. The journal Sovetskaia pedagogika was founded in 1937.

To help solve problems of universal education and upgrade the role of the school in the building of communism during the 1940’s and 1950’s, a number of new general pedagogical journals were founded, in addition to others specializing in methodology. Beginning in the 1950’s, the proceedings and transactions of pedagogical educational and research institutions and of universities were extensively published. In 1974 about 50 pedagogical journals were published in the USSR.
