The Possibilities of Cinema in School History Teaching (Based on the Lesson about the History of the Decemberists)

The culture of the XX and XXI centuries is visual. In contrast to the literary writing and communication culture of the nineteenth century, in the twentieth century, the main patterns of thinking and stereotypes are associated with photography, film, television, and other multimedia. Previously, people were looking for meaning in their lives and told about it as they learned to think from novels and other written sources (literary stereotypes took into account different discourses and were reproduced before the court, in an autobiography, in a letter to a friend or family, in a lecture, in a memoir or in a book). Now, the way we see the "event" in our own life or public life, or even in the past, is influenced by photography, film and TV, dictated by the modern media and those behind them. Modern man builds an event and a story around what can be removed, or even seeks to replace the frame of the narrative. And gradually events that cannot be removed are being pushed out of public discourse. TV and video formats affect politics, education, the economy, and the spiritual sphere: people are willing to believe in the authenticity of what can be " seen on the screen in news and movies." Television and video affect the form of a letter and including historiography. These social concepts and ideas about the past are considered in many modern theories as the most powerful force that determines trends in modern society. And perceptions of the past play a significant role in maintaining these disciplinary regimes of power and influence the formation of the younger generation. This knowledge of the historical past, formed by education and popular culture, works to legitimize political regimes and attitudes to the conflicts of States, Nations, cultures and groups, to crises and conflicts, current politics and daily routine. Historical knowledge is the most important part of modern politics, the field of collision of ideologies implicitly embedded in the narrative and setting models of perception of reality. Try to see the desire of politicians-this is the goal that should be pursued in school for the formation of a modern critical thinking person. Politicians and groups linked to private interests, the Church and activists invest in the representation of the past in the media, movies, television, museums and school classrooms, fighting and competing for the right to define the past and for dominance, trying to oust and ban the history of those who lose this fight. Currently, there is a lively discussion of the turn of history towards the study of memory and the politics of memory, the study of public strategies in relation to the past, its conceptualization, practices of commemoration and teaching of history. In this master's work, an attempt will be made to talk about modern historical education, knowledge of the past and the role that historical cinema of different genres plays in it. This paper offers a review of various political orders for the submission of ideas of the Decembrists, the reflection of their history in the school history course, will pay attention to the modern approach to teaching history in school using the latest methods of electronic communication and developed a lesson about the Decembrist movement, which is practically applicable in the current conditions of the educational process.
