Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the socio-pedagogical phenomenon of "history education" as well as the analysis of the established practice of implementing history education in the general education system. The conduction of terminological analysis made it possible to trace the evolution of the meaning and use of the concept of "history education" and to clarify its features and properties. The author's definition of historical education reveals its pedagogical essence and semantic meaning. History education is presented as a specially organized pedagogical process aimed at creating conditions for increasing the level of history literacy of an individual, which is considered as the basis for the formation of an all-Russian civic identity, collective history memory and the preservation of traditional spiritual, moral, cultural and history values. The results of the study present the current state of regional practice of implementing history education in general education organizations. The reliability of the obtained results is confirmed by the selected research methodology built on the basis of the use of systemic, activity-based, socio-cultural approaches and a number of pedagogical search methods: questionnaires, interviews, analytical processing of the obtained data, representativeness of the sample and its criteria, a comprehensive assessment of the significance of the obtained data. General recommendations for organizing pedagogical activities in the field of history education of students in comprehensive schools are proposed.
