Здравствуйте, psyhistorik.

Today I was reading my Portuguese version of this document:
ЦК ВКПб «О педологических извращениях в системе наркомпросов» (1936).
It’s dated from July, 5, 1936 - I think the correct is "4 июля 1936" - It’s not a translation from Russian but from an Argentine edition. The author said that it is "integral". There are 8 pages, no much characters per page - at first glance, comparing with Russian it's ok.

It’s very instructive. But my question is about 2 two other documents quoted at the end:

«Признать неправильными
[1] постановления Наркомпроса РСФСР об организации педологической работы
и
[2] Постановление СНК РСФСР от 7 марта 1931 года «Об организации педологической работы в республике».»

Can you point me how can I find any copy of these two documents? Do you already have a topic about this matter? What exactly was the contents of these “постановления” – who was the responsible for their redaction an approbation by the Soviet Government, etc.?


Thank you very much.

pedology, #3, 1931, pp. 80-83.

i'll try to make a copy. authors are hidden so far, thou there are guesses probably. we will know eventually. same thing happened in the journal - around that time unsubscribed articles start appearing, kinda expressing everybody united position.

unsubscribed = unsigned, anonymous?

no names is safe, hence no names.

sure we know smth:

Об организации педологической работы по линии органов народного образования. Всем край-и облоно (приказ Наркомпроса т. А. Бубнова*) (#605/0605 от 6/V 1931 г.)

but in reality so many things are missing from the picture, that one can not make any meaningful conclucions yet (see recent obituaries discussions).

* - didn't even check, because it was kinda obvious to me what had happened to him, but for your benefit:

В 1925 г. — секретарь ЦК партии. Член ВЦИК, ЦИК СССР.
С сентября 1929 года — Нарком Просвещения РСФСР.
17 октября 1937 г. арестован. 1 августа 1938 г. военной коллегией Верховного суда СССР приговорен к расстрелу и в тот же день расстрелян.

its not even so difficult (one could get lotsa facts for smth particular), but it would be still just top level of information. time was even shorter - less than one year from постановление ЦК ВКП (б) “О начальной и средней школе от 25 августа 1931 г.

this is an interesting topic, i was going to write about the last issue of pedology, which gives some clues to internal happenings.

in the recent post about olshansky, i've listed whom was criticized for what, bazhenova&scoblo use too wide a brush.

stalin's son vassily prob did attend experimental detsky sad (more psychoanalytical than pedological), and i think it even was discussed here once, but "low iq scores" is most likely is a myth, even if true. vassily could have receive some low scores, but it would not be a reason for stalin to differentiate him in some way. he didn't do that even when his another son (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakov_Dzhugashvili) life was at stake.

and read this from wiki:
When Vasily was 17, he expressed his wish to join the Kacinsc Aviation School, a well-known school in the Soviet Union. Lavrenti Beria’s intercession was necessary, because of Vasily's poor school grades. At the beginning, Vasily Stalin was given special treatment (single-occupancy room, meals in the officers’ mess, weekly leave permissions), but his father personally intervened and Vasily lost all the privileges.

I suggest you get the book by Krementsov "Stalinist Science" (1997). It will prove very helpful to you,--at least, it will give you some impression of the state-Party-science interrelations at that time...

"IQ can show individual diferences"

sure it can, thats one puropose of psychodiagnostics. ussr did not accept any tests, because they are useless from lsv school perspective. pedologists did use iq tests but without proper standartization (at that time statistics was still an unknown science in europe) and reseived results were one of reasons behind pedology destruction.

there is no good sources to read. there are few attempts (http://magazines.russ.ru/novyi_mi/1999/2/kur.html), but see (http://library.by/portalus/modules/psychology/print.php?subaction=showfull&id=1107775958&archive=1120045907&start_from=&ucat=27&). since 1931, it was a slow wave going thru the whole big structure which got cancelled in 1936. most ppl moved away from pedology to survive long before that. pedology got squashed by so called политехнизм - education thru technical schools attached to production cycle, which is an old idea (supported by vygotsksy, who was also blamed for position that 'schools will die').

bauer's book is a good one and he is usually good with sources, on p. 101 (first english edition 1952) he writes:

On September 5, 1931, a decree was issued restoring discipline to schools, introducing the three R's in place of the project method, and reenstating a system of examinations and grading.

but here he is a bit of track. the decree is about not enough политехнизм. there is not much about examinations and grading. moreover unsigned article which follows постановление explains:

Весь педагогический процесс сводился только к навыкам, своеобразной их триаде: "читать, писать и считать". Отсюда тестомания, "экпериментальная педагогика" Калашникова и др. ЦК осуждает такой формальный подход... (pedology, 4/1931, p.11)

pedology was good until trotsky, krupskaya and lunacharsky were in power. trotsky left, krupskaya was moved away, and lunacharsky was switched for bubnov in september 1929. after that pedology time was ticking away pretty fast.

btw, just couple weeks ago, saw a court decision (http://www.seattlepi.com/dayart/PDF/mathtextruling_20100204.pdf) about the same метод проeктов (inquire based education) prohibited in 1931 =)

педагогическая психология is about those issue. lsv was interested in pedology until decrees of 1931, after that everything went down the drain.

rrr (http://www.newlambton.ps.education.nsw.gov.au/images/murals/3rs.jpg) - is now muralized.

it is similar method and there are similar motives behind court decision. soviet state made a good decision at that time, but лучшее враг хорошего.
