Pedagogical universities of the Urals. History of the USPU

Choosing a profession is one of the most important decisions of a person. The difficulty of accepting it lies in the fact that the applicant is still young and does not have the necessary life experience to assess his capabilities and the demand for a particular specialty in the labor market. Besides, who wants to waste years? Therefore, the choice of specialty and educational institution play a decisive role in the life of a young person. In this article we will look at the features and advantages of such an educational institution as the Ural Pedagogical University in Yekaterinburg.

Postgraduate or additional education

Initially, this direction in the scientific activity of the university was developed with the aim of improving existing knowledge in a certain specialty. But then students who wanted to get an education in a completely new program began to apply there. The Ural State Vocational Pedagogical University, through additional education, helps students acquire knowledge, skills and abilities for quality work, as well as organize their activities and develop as individuals.

This university offers postgraduate studies (7 programs) and doctoral studies (4 specialties).

University teachers

The Ural Vocational Pedagogical University is proud of its teaching staff. Yekaterinburg is a base for the development of scientific knowledge in several areas. Many of the teachers of the educational institution are members of academies of sciences (information, natural, pedagogical, military-historical, social, environmental). Studying with professors and associate professors, students gain tremendous theoretical and practical experience, improve their knowledge and develop comprehensively.

Scientific schools of Rubinina, Kapustin, Shamalo, and Starichenko are actively working on the basis of USPU.

University Scientific Library

At this university, the library of the USPU, rich in its history, provides scientific material. It began its existence from the founding of the Sverdlovsk University. Today, the university library has a separate building with an area of ​​2000 square meters. m. This makes it possible to serve a large number of students at once. For convenience, many scientific materials have been transferred to an electronic catalog. Recently (2010) the library began to be called the Information and Intellectual Center.

Sports achievements of students

The Ural Pedagogical University in Yekaterinburg has its own Institute of Physical Education. It is this area that is given great attention here. As you know, in a healthy body there is a healthy mind, and teachers, like no one else, must monitor the state of mind and body of their students.

The sporting achievements of university students can be the envy of many. Among them are 6 Olympic champions and a Paralympic champion. They won a total of 12 gold medals. Honored masters of sports, candidates for master of sports and champions of the Russian Federation also study at USPU.

Social support for participants in the educational process

University employees also take care of the social protection of students. A large number of students receive a monthly stipend based on the results of the session. The amount of these payments is approved by the rector in accordance with the law. In addition to scholarships, the university practices the payment of other forms of financial support to students. For active, initiative and intellectual young people, in some cases personal payments are assigned.

The university financially supports disabled children, orphans, single mothers, graduate students and doctoral students in the event of their illness. There is also a special bonus fund, which is distributed among students who have distinguished themselves by their academic achievements.

Employment program

A center was established on the basis of the university, which provides assistance in the employment of students who graduated from the Ural State Pedagogical University. Yekaterinburg is one of the few cities in Russia that has such a center, founded by a student team. Here you can leave your resume or view vacancies.

The Employment Assistance Center was founded in 1998 to facilitate the search for work for university students and graduates. Recommendations of a psychological, legal, social nature are given here. Trainings, forums and profession fairs are also held.

Contacts of the educational institution

The university has several buildings and a separate building of scientific literature. It is located in the Sverdlovsk region in the city of Yekaterinburg. The main building is located on Kosmonavtov Avenue, 26.

I graduated from the Ural State Pedagogical University (USPU), the path to which was not very easy. I spent many years on other training, which was not needed by me, but by my parents. And this university most likely became a transitional stage for further achieving its goal.

The collapse of first hope

Since childhood, I dreamed of being a doctor, because... I was often sick and saw these specialists both in the hospital and at home. I gave injections to the dolls, all my and my neighbor’s teddy bears were always covered in green paint, and the arsenal of toys consisted of medical supplies: spatulas, syringes, thermometers. But when the time came to decide on a profession, my parents said a categorical “no”, not even allowing me to finish high school and indicating the direction of study - polytechnic school. Having gone to an open day at this institution, I also said a categorical “no” in response. Then they chose a different tactic: seduction and persuasion, and I didn’t notice how I ended up in the radio engineering college of Sverdlovsk, now Yekaterinburg, (Sverdlovsk radio engineering college named after A.S. Popov, now Ural radio engineering college named after A.S. Popov), where I mastered a profession that was incomprehensible to me: “gyroscopic instruments and devices.”

Attempts to resist learning

My resistance in the form of failures and absences from classes was quickly eliminated through the efforts of my parents and teachers, because... I was initially a diligent student and before that I studied with almost only straight A’s. The only thing that kept me in this institution was my boyfriend, who, having sacrificed his desire to study at an automotive technical school, enrolled me in this incomprehensible specialty. He infected me with his interest in technology and electronics. I also liked the guys in the group, but I was still often sick (now this was to my advantage, I didn’t have to attend school), and I couldn’t go with them to the collective farm “to harvest potatoes” or go on a hike. Without waiting for graduation, which lasted 4 long years, I got married. This was the first wedding in our group, so we celebrated like a youth, on a grand scale, with jokes and congratulations. Studying began to be perceived as something of secondary importance. My husband and his friend helped me write my thesis, and I just pressed buttons while defending my thesis project, demonstrating the quality of the gyrocompass.

Realization of the need for liberal arts education

For the next five years, my husband and I lived in Penza, where he served, and I tried to realize myself as a wife, mother, and kindergarten teacher. My work in my previous specialty became impossible, and I increasingly returned to thoughts of getting a humanities education. Working in kindergartens, both in Penza and Sverdlovsk, I realized that without education, it is better not to work there at all. I didn’t know how to conduct classes with children, how to learn to understand children. I expressed many ideas for organizing work with preschool children, as a result of which the head of the kindergarten began to get angry with me: “Sit in my place and manage!” I thought, why not.

Admission to the Pedagogical Institute (now USPU)

In 1989, it was, indeed, only an institute where teachers, educators, and lecturers were trained. I decided to enter the department of PIMNO (Pedagogy and Methodology of Primary Education). But I was horrified to learn that the entrance exams included biology as a compulsory discipline, which was not taught at the technical school and my knowledge stopped at the level of botany and human anatomy. Yes, and this was more than 15 years ago, i.e. I will have to study the entire course on my own. There was a month left before the exam, and I intensively began to study textbooks on biology, anatomy, and botany. Formulas for the chemical compositions of substances were difficult: I went to work and silently pronounced these unpronounceable names, their composition, and formulas.

Biology exam

It was this exam that I remember most. I remember my shock when I saw the question about the composition and structure of the skin, its functions. It seems like there is no knowing, but suddenly I realized that I know nothing on this issue. I drew pictures of the skin structure that popped up in my head, which I saw in the textbook, but nothing else came to mind.

I was surprised that I remembered the page in the textbook, the paragraph number, the illustration, and even my action - turning the page with a clear mental comment - this is nonsense, then I’ll read it. I saw how the text is arranged in the textbook, but what does it say? And suddenly I remembered an electronics teacher from a technical school who loved to tell funny stories in his classes. I remembered his jokes about unwashed socks that could stand and his further discussions about washing them, preferably without soap and the need for thorough rinsing so that the skin of the feet could breathe. I collected a bunch of facts from life about the quality of washing clothes, about skin care, about creams, about immersing the body in water and the body’s ability to receive oxygen from water using “holes” on the skin. I told all this to the examiners and attached a drawing of the structure of the skin, which I could not explain scientifically. They praised me for my rich life experience and asked “But still, what is the structure of the skin?” All! I am again horrified that specific knowledge is needed and commented on my drawing, but not completely. The examiner corrected me, to which I retorted that this is what is shown in the picture. There, indeed, I drew three layers of skin, and not two, as I said. The amendment was adopted because was documented on a stamped form.

I received an “excellent” mark, but I did not imagine that for such a question I would have to use such deep and forgotten recesses of my memory. Apparently, I really wanted to go to university (and then become the head of a kindergarten)!

The learning process at USPU

I started studying at the age of 29, having schoolchildren and working in a kindergarten as a teacher. I studied by correspondence, going to sessions 2 times a year and attending evening classes on Tuesdays during the intersession period. At the same time, I worked with children in a group, receiving a teacher’s salary of 100 rubles, and managed to earn extra money in other groups when there were not enough teachers, increasing my earnings to 120-130 rubles a month. It wasn’t very much, but I liked working, and I finally decided to stay in this structure.

Most of all I liked the psychology subject taught by a young teacher. I was surprised by her knowledge and experience. The subject itself seemed like some kind of miracle, with the help of which you can get to know a person, plan classes taking into account knowledge about a person’s individual characteristics, and select personnel for work. When they suggested that we expand our knowledge of psychology through additional classes in 6 subjects, I agreed and as a result received a certificate for the right to conduct practical psychological work with children.

Oddly enough, I was never sick during the 5 years of study, I didn’t miss a single class.

University as the beginning of subsequent stages of education

My studies in psychology led me subsequently to specialized training in psychoanalysis. With the help of psychology, I was able to get a little closer to my childhood dream of becoming a doctor, because... many diseases, as it turns out, are psychosomatic in nature and can be cured with the help of psychotherapy.

It was at the pedagogical university that I met a very demanding and at the same time very attentive professor of psychology Vasily Ivanovich Yakovlev, under whose guidance I first wrote a course work on psychohygiene, and then a diploma work on the prevention of anxiety in preschoolers. At his suggestion, this work became the basis for a Ph.D. dissertation. The dissertation was written during the year when I simultaneously passed the candidate minimum. My second supervisor, Belkin August Solomonovich, professor, doctor of science, academician, helped make this work suitable for practical use in kindergartens. Thus, a year after graduating from the institute, I returned to it to defend my dissertation and remain there to work as a teacher.

Professional development

While still in the process of studying, I changed my mind about being the head of a kindergarten. I wanted to make changes to the education system at a more global level, so in my last year of study I left the position of methodologist, which I had already worked for 2 years, to the position of specialist in working with preschool institutions (then inspector) in the district education department. But I didn’t like the “paper” work, so when I received an offer to go to work at a university, I agreed without hesitation. I was surprised by the work schedule - a lot of free time, which was gradually filled with training in psychoanalysis and practical work with children and parents. Over the course of 15 years of work at the university, I received the title of associate professor, the position of professor, moved towards defending my doctoral dissertation, passed the pre-defense and... suddenly fell ill, so seriously that I was no longer able to go to work at the university. My knowledge as a psychologist told me that this was not an accident, and I left the university on the same day, quitting and continuing to work with children as a psychoanalyst. Moreover, my earnings were mainly the result of psychological, rather than pedagogical work. So, for example, the salary of a professor at our university is 13 thousand rubles.

“Open the Ural Industrial Pedagogical Institute in Sverdlovsk to train teaching staff for schools, educational institutions and FES” (Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR No. 33 of August 25, 1930).
One of the first sections of the FZS department, created at URIP in 1930, was the general literature section. Today it is an institute of philology, cultural studies and intercultural communication.
The Institute of Physics, Technology and Economics of the Ural State Pedagogical University also dates back to 1930, when a physics and technology section was opened at the Ural State Polytechnic Institute at the Department of Physics and Technology. Since the 1932/33 academic year, the section began to be called physics and mathematics.
By order of the director of the institute dated December 2, 1930 and under his leadership, a socio-economic department was formed at the institute, which later grew into the faculty of history.

The institute has a new name - the Ural Pedagogical Institute (UPI). In November 1932, branches of the workers' faculty were created at Uralmash and in the cities of the Ural region: Nizhny Tagil, Chelyabinsk, Sarapul, Nevyansk, Irbit, Alapaevsk, Kushva, Verkhnyaya Salda, Aramil and others. By the end of the year, the number of workers' faculty numbered about 900 people.

The institute was renamed the Sverdlovsk State Pedagogical Institute. It existed under this name for almost 60 years.

The institute switched to a faculty system, faculties were established: history and economics, literature, physics and mathematics, pedagogy, and chemistry. In the same year, the first graduates left the faculty - 106 people.

Final state exams are being introduced. The Faculty of Geography was created, which later became the Faculty of Geography and Biology. In the same year, a section of physical education was established, which later grew into the Faculty of Physical Culture.

A department of foreign languages ​​is being created, which today has grown into an institute of foreign languages. The repressions did not spare the institute either. Many teachers are exempted from lecturing, from heading departments, and are arrested by the NKVD. 1940
Over 10 years, the institute has graduated 7 students; 3,100 students study at the institute. The institute has 3 educational buildings and 6 dormitories.

By conscription or as volunteers, 57 teachers and staff and 186 students of the institute joined the ranks of the workers' and peasants' Red Army. SGPI transfers most of its buildings and dormitories to military organizations. The military training programs “tank destroyer”, “signalman”, “military translator” are being mastered. Throughout the war years, the sanitary squad (about 100 people) led by R.B. Rubel has been actively working. The squad has its own sponsored hospital on Bankovsky Lane. By the end of the year, the institute had 150 donors.

In January 1943, the first front-line students (37 people), demobilized for wounds and other reasons, began to return to the institute. During the war years, extra-institutional work assignments for the university staff increased sharply. Students and teachers work as assistants at construction sites of Uralpromstroy (sites of military plants named after Kalinin, Turbomotorny, named after Vorovsky are being created). Large groups of students are sent to collective and state farms. Several teams specialize in collecting firewood for the institute. In November 1943, postgraduate studies opened at the institute.

End of the war. Victory. The staff of the institute has always honored the memory of teachers, staff, and students who died on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. There are forty-one of them, and the memory of those who gave their lives for the Fatherland is carefully preserved in the memories of contemporaries, their names are imprinted on mourning plaques in the buildings of the institute. After returning from the war, about 60 front-line soldiers studied at the institute. Graduate school opens.

A student scientific society is being created at the institute.

Over 20 years, the institute has trained 5,334 teachers for secondary schools and technical schools. Among the institute’s graduates, over 1,700 were awarded orders and medals of the USSR. Many were awarded the title of Honored Teacher of the RSFSR. Of the 900 secondary school teachers in Sverdlovsk, 720 received their education at the institute. The Institute receives the entire building on the street. K. Liebknecht, 9 (at the beginning of the journey, the institute rented several classrooms in this building). For 36 years it became its main educational building. The institute has 4 faculties, with about 4,000 students. There are 120 teachers working in 17 departments, including 2 professors and 30 associate professors. Over the past 5 years, they have defended 2 doctoral and 12 candidate dissertations. In 1950, the Faculty of Geography was created under the leadership of the first woman in the Sverdlovsk region - Master of Sports in Tourism R.B. Rubel.

In 1956, tuition fees were abolished in senior secondary schools, in secondary specialized and higher educational institutions. The students breathed a sigh of relief. The university could now gather within its walls the most gifted schoolchildren, and not those who were able to pay for their studies. The decisions of the 20th Congress of the CPSU oriented the school towards the implementation of polytechnic education, towards familiarizing students with the basics of industrial and agricultural production. The institute introduces mechanical engineering, heating engineering, automotive engineering, electrical engineering with installation work. Workshops are held in workshops.

The next instruction of the RSFSR MP is about the practical preparation of pedagogical institute students for extracurricular work with children. An avalanche of circles is overwhelming. The number of faculties is growing. Among the seven experimental ones, Sverdlovsk University opened a faculty for training primary school teachers in 1957. Today it is an institute of pedagogy and childhood psychology.

The Ministry of Education of the RSFSR decided to open music and pedagogical faculties in pedagogical institutes in a number of Russian cities. In the same year, the music and pedagogical faculty was opened at the Sverdlovsk State Pedagogical Institute. Today, an institute of music and art education has been created in its place.

In 1960, the 30th anniversary of the institute was celebrated. The results of the work are significant and varied. The institute has 6 faculties and 21 departments. They are located in four of their own academic buildings. The university has 4 dormitories with 750 beds. Of the 190 teachers, 60 have scientific degrees and academic titles.

Since April 1962, the university has become the center of a number of zonal associations of teachers of pedagogical universities in the Ural region: mathematics, Russian and foreign languages. During the year, 12 scientific conferences were held with 140 reports. Over 70 teachers took advantage of scientific trips during 1962. Student science also developed - in 1962 there were 30 scientific circles at the departments. A defectology department is opened at the primary school faculty, which today has become an institute of special education.

In January 1964, the editorial and publishing department (RIO) was created. For the first time, 12 collections of scientific works were published with the stamp “Sverdlovsk State Pedagogical Institute” during the year. Teachers of the institute published 268 works in 1966, including 3 monographs and 4 textbooks. RIO put into production 26 collections of educational notes.
The famous “divorce” of physicists and mathematicians occurred when separate physics and mathematics departments were formed. Today, on the basis of the Faculty of Mathematics, the Institute of Mathematics, Informatics and Information Technologies has been created. An important event for the university was the decision of the bureau of the CPSU Civil Code in December 1964, according to which the institute was allowed to publish the large-circulation newspaper “The People’s Teacher”. The first issue came out within 3 months - in March 1965. The newspaper is published to this day, for more than half a century, being a chronicle of the life of the university.

During these years, interaction with schools was very active - in 1973, there were 75 universities, lecture halls, seminars, courses and other associations, which were attended by over six thousand teachers. 75 conferences and seminars were held, 1,300 lectures were given. The departments operated about 50 schools for young physicists, mathematicians and others with 4,800 students.

At the All-Russian Review of Faculties of Public Professions (FOP) of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR, SGPI took first place - in 1975 it had twelve departments of FOP, where 1,532 students study to become circle leaders. In October 1975, the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR approved the technical project for the construction of the institute complex: the total area of ​​the educational building is 27.2 thousand square meters. m, two dormitories with 640 beds each – 13.8 thousand sq. m., dining room capacity – 530 seats. The total estimated cost of construction is 10.4 million rubles.

Based on the results of socialist competition among pedagogical institutes, Sverdlovsky won the third republican prize on a par with the Moscow and Leningrad pedagogical universities. By this year, the academic performance at the institute was 93.7 percent, 213 excellent students and 1009 “strikers” (35.4 percent).

In 1978-1979, two new dormitories for 620 and 640 places were put into operation on Kosmonavtov Avenue. By September 1975, the last boiler house was liquidated. Now all university buildings were connected to central heating. The institute has 4 comfortable dormitories with 2,100 beds. The Institute celebrates its 50th anniversary in a solemn atmosphere. Over half a century, he trained about 33,000 teachers, forty of them became honored teachers of the RSFSR, 3,000 were awarded orders and medals. Through tireless work and growth, the institute has become one of the leading pedagogical universities in the country. There are 6,600 students studying there, of 420 teachers - eleven professors and doctors of science, 87 associate professors and candidates of science, the graduation rate was 23 percent.

For the successes achieved in training personnel for public education and in connection with the 50th anniversary of its founding, the institute was awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor.” Since then, it began to be called the Sverdlovsk Order of the Badge of Honor State Pedagogical Institute. Mention of the order will disappear from the name of the university after the collapse of the socialist system. The Faculty of Life Safety began with the opening of a military department at the university in 1980 for the training of military school leaders.

The leadership of SGPI applied to the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR with an application to open at the institute a faculty for advanced training for organizers of public education, which today has grown into an institute of management and law.

In June 1984, the party committee decided to organize a museum of the history of SGPI and created a commission headed by A. M. Lushnikov, vice-rector for research. The first exhibition is scheduled to open by May 9, 1985.

The main building of the University moved to a new building at the address: Kosmonavtov Avenue, 26, where it is currently located. Blocks A, B and D were put into operation, where the faculties of geography and biology, defectology and physical education moved, a year later the Institute of Foreign Languages, PIMNO, and the rector’s office.

A “Problem laboratory for the use of computer and microprocessor technology” was created under the leadership of V. G. Zhitomirsky. Subsequently - Laboratory of Information Technologies in Education (B. E. Starichenko).

The year of perestroika came in 1991. In the activities of educational and other institutions of the education system, the tendency to search for extra-budgetary funds and work on a contractual basis is gaining more and more weight. The institute has a new name “Ural Order of the Badge of Honor State Pedagogical Institute (Ural State Pedagogical Institute)”. The institute opened a socio-pedagogical faculty, began training specialists in social pedagogy, and since 1994 - in social work. Today it is an institute of social education. The museum in memory of internationalist soldiers “Shuravi” has been opened.

The history department is reopening at the institute. He begins training history teachers with an additional specialization in psychology. 1992 is the year the institute launched active commercial activities due to its deteriorating financial situation, as well as in accordance with the permitting orders of the RSFSR Ministry of Defense. To obtain extra-budgetary funds, various “remote structures”, courses, classes, and creative groups are organized and introduced.

The institute has been given the status of a university. The new name of the university is Ural State Pedagogical University.
The first council in the history of the institute for the defense of candidate dissertations in pedagogical sciences is opened. Chairman of the Council - A. S. Belkin. Subsequently, the number of dissertation councils at USPU will be 11. An economics department is opened at the Faculty of Mathematics. In 1993, a paid form of education appeared for the first time at university faculties (about one hundred students).

The rating of scientific activity of 108 pedagogical universities in Russia, carried out by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 1994, placed the university in third place. The literary school of N. L. Leiderman and the schools of pedagogy of A. S. Belkin and M. A. Galaguzova received the highest marks. The first two places in the ranking were traditionally occupied by the Russian (St. Petersburg) and Moscow pedagogical universities.

The Department of Economics is being transformed into an independent Faculty of Economics.

In July 1997, the Faculty of Psychology opened, which grew into the Institute of Psychology. It took a long time to select personnel. We needed specialists with basic psychological higher education.

The university is the third pedagogical university in Russia, which has been given a license to introduce the second stage of higher professional education - master's degree. Another achievement is that the Presidium of the International Academy of Sciences of Pedagogical Education decided to open a Ural branch of the academy on the basis of the University.

A sociology department was created, which later became a structural unit of the IFSGS; A faculty for advanced training of special education workers has been created as part of the Institute of Special Education.

A department of socio-cultural technologies has been opened, which for several years has been providing training in the specialties “Fine Arts”, “Social and Cultural Service and Tourism” at the Social and Pedagogical Faculty.

Licenses were obtained for the right to conduct educational activities in the specialties of higher professional education in 2 branches of the USPU, just opened - in Chelyabinsk and Novouralsk.
