Practical training of students in the first decades of the Department of Economic Geography of the USSR at the MSU Faculty of Geography
Abstract
Educational practices are an integral part of training, which get the students directly acquainted with various regions of the country, different forms of economic activities and life of the population. Basing on the publications of the mid 20th century and the interviews with spectators of the time, the study shows that traditional forms of practical training at the Department of Economic and Social Geography of Russia, which celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2019, appeared later than the department itself, and even after the faculty was established. In the pre-war period there was a student on-the-job training, usually in various expeditions, as well as a technological practical training. Educational practice (initially academic practical training) started up only in the post-war period; during its formative years it was organized as a stationkeeping one. Since the mid-1950s the practical training became a route one and two decades later transientfree field training was added to it.
