Проблема морального виховання за допомогою математики в історії вірменської педагогіки

Робота присвячена проблемі морального виховання за допомогою математичної освіти. Ретельно вивчено, як вірменські діячі освіти реалізовували питання морального виховання учнів в освітніх установах, а також які цінності вважалися першочерговими в справі формування особистості. Розглянуто також ряд підручників з математики, складених древніми місцевими авторами з давніх часів до XIX століття, а також роботи, присвячені етиці. В результаті проведеного дослідження стає ясно, що в історії вірменської педагогіки особливу увагу було приділено обговорюваного питання, а також наявні певні підходи до його вирішення.Studying history of Armenian pedagogy from the ancient times to the 19th century, we see that the issue of implementation moral education by mathematical education is one of the important problems of education. During this period the education mainly organized by schools, colleges and educational institutions, where educators paid special attention of education, particularly moral education. It should be mentioned, that the moral values were perceived various in different times: It was due to social-economics and political conditions of country and accepted moral norms of society as well. In that period when Christianity accepted as a state religion of Armenia, the basis of moral education were Christian virtues and commandments of the Bible. In the 7th century Armenian great mathematician-educator Anania Shitakacy wrote his textbook of Mathematics. This manuscript includes mathematical textual problems and problems-entertainments, which devoted to the various moral values such as kindness, patriotism, mercy and so on. So, Anania Shirakacy offered a way of implementation moral education by solving textual problems of Mathematics. After that, Armenian educators of middle ages highlighted formation of moral values in the teaching process of school subjects too, also they wrote several manuscripts devoted to the morality: in that way they supported implementation moral education of learners. In these manuscripts authors mentioned various moral values as the basis of moral education. In the 19th century Armenia was divided into two parts: Western Armenia and Eastern Armenia. In the Western Armenia there were Armenian schools, where educators paid attention of schoolchildren moral values system. The teachers sure that ,,Ethics’’ subject played significant role of formation of learners’ moral values. Armenian educators of Eastern Armenia, said that formation of moral values is one of the essential problems of education and they thought that patriotism and humanity were the most important moral values. The famous educator S. Mandinyan said that it is necessary condition to formulate moral values in the teaching process of all school subjects, including Mathematics. So, as our research shows, Armenian educators from all periods, highlighted the importance of moral education by Mathematics, and wrote many papers, textbooks for promoting formation of moral values
