Introduction. The author examines the development of the institute of class tutorship as an element of social education in Russia, taking into account the current problems of socialization of children and youth, as well as theoretical pedagogical concepts of Russian and international school education. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of approaches to moral and social education within various educational systems and identify the characteristic features of class tutoring in the comparative context. Materials and Methods. The research is theoretical in nature, including analysis, comparison and generalization of Russian and international conceptions of social education as a part of school education. The methodological basis of the research includes historical, socio-cultural, cross-cultural and axiological approaches which enable to consider the specifics of the development of class tutorship on the basis of historical analysis, taking into account social changes, the influence of changing requirements of the state and society, as well as the transformation of value orientations in the process of education development. Results. The paper describes the characteristic features of class tutorship as an element of social education within school education system on the basis of the identified trends in the development of this process in the historical aspect; defines the specifics of Russian educational approaches compared to similar phenomena in international school education; identifies the differences in the professional activities of the class teacher and tutor as subjects of psychological and educational support for students; reveals the interrelations and contradictions of the normative educational process and the socialization of students in the changing society. Conclusions. The specificity of class tutorship as an element of social education of Russian schoolchildren is determined by: professional activities of the teacher who carries out their work in strict regulatory restrictions within the centralization of the general education process; reliance on the creation of a relatively cohesive group of students (school class), which remains almost unchanged throughout the entire period of general school education; the desire of the class teacher to create a highly organized group – a collective based on the common activities, values and relationships of all participants of the educational process; maintaining a balance between individualization and collectivism to create appropriate opportunities for self-realization and self-development of the individual with the inevitable influence of group pressure.

“…Accompanying the 1990s expansion of the Australian university sector were considerable pressures for corporate managerial forms of governance (Bartlett, Knight, & Lingard, 1992), which has intensified to the present (Brennan, 2005;Marginson & Considine, 2000). Managerialism is an important change to the university sector, in which, as institutions 'manage' an increasingly prescriptive accountability to Federal government, they become far less autonomous than 20 years ago.…”

“…In Canada, Teacher Education in Ontario: Current Practice and Options for the Future (Fullan & Connelly, 1987) and Preparation Programs in Alberta Universities: Teachers' Evaluations (Greene & Miklos, 1987) are examples of publications produced in nearly every province that have likewise stimulated debate within the academic and wider community. In Australia, a working party of the Australian Education Council (1990), a government discussion paper (Department of Employment, Education, and Training, 1992), and ministerial pronouncements (Beazley, 1993;Ruby, 1993) have fueled the debate in that country by reasserting the apparent shortcomings of teacher education and by proposing reforms (Bartlett, Knight, & Lingard, 1992). In the United Kingdom, new policies for preparing and licensing teachers have been developed and strategies proposed involving more extensive preparation in schools (Beardon, Booth, Hargreaves, & Reiss, 1992;"Schools Seek Cash," 1993;Shaw, 1992).…”

Teacher education policy around the world is being challenged and changed, and the nature of teaching, learning, and learning to teach is being reassessed. A central element of the reforms is a focus on school-based preparation, including the use of internships. This article reports evaluation findings from a comprehensive internship program in Alberta, Canada, as a basis for assessing the value of internships for beginning teachers. Findings from nearly 6,000 respondents focus on the value of internships, supervision of interns, and policy development. The utility of various internship activities, such as skill development and formative reflection, is assessed. On the basis of these findings, recommendations for policy development are presented and potential impediments discussed.
