Abstract

Problem Statement: Didactic training is a major component of the professional development of future teachers. However, the problem of the formation of their professional culture has not been sufficiently elaborated. Purpose of Study: A critical analysis of the literature has showed significant weakness of the culturological component of future teachers’ didactic training. Methods: It is the cultural approach that includes systemic, competence-based, personal, axiological and other approaches to professional development. Findings and results: The paper actualizes the concept of “pedagogical responsibility” and considers the basic aspects of the professional and didactic culture of future history teachers. Conclusions and Recommendations: Under conditions of information abundance, an important feature of any human being is critical thinking as the ability to interpret and analyze facts, to build arguments and to draw conclusions.
