To the Issue of the Pedagogical Periodical Press of the St. Petersburg Educational District (1803–1917); [К вопросу о педагогической периодической печати Санкт-Петербургского учебного округа (1803–1917 гг.)]

The paper examines the pedagogical periodical press on the territory of the St. Petersburg Educational District in 1803–1917. The source base of the research was both highly specialized publications on the periodical press of the Russian Empire, as well as pre-revolutionary periodicals themselves. The methodological basis of the work is the methods of content analysis, the retrospective method and the method of deduction. The combined use of these methods allowed the authors to carry out work on the search, systematization (including chronological) and verification of materials. In conclusion, the authors note that in the territory of the St. Petersburg Educational District in the period 1803–1917, a record number of educational journals were published among the educational districts – 115 pedagogical ones, 114 of them in St. Petersburg and 1 in Vologda. At the same time, the district also had the oldest Periodical in the Russian Empire (founded in 1803). St. Petersburg scientific journals, due to their large number, were devoted to various issues, starting with preschool education and ending with the teaching methods of various disciplines. Some scientific journals, such as the “Spravochnyi listok” (aka “Petrogradsky Uchitel”), “Vestnik psikhologii”, “Kommercheskoe obrazovanie”, were published almost until 1917.
