‘Memory in bronze and stone": museum and pedagogical reconstruction and a lesson-requiem in memory of the fallen polish scientists

Abstract

The author of the article describes the algorithm for conducting a non-standard integrated req-uiem lesson (based on the integration of art and history), which is based on a tragic event in the history of Lviv – the shooting in July 1941 of representatives of the Polish intelligentsia, their fam-ilies and people who happened to be in the homes of scholars at the time of the arrest by the Nazis. Justifying the methods of museum pedagogy, historical reconstruction and theatricalisa-tion, the author of the article defines the role of research work of students-’experts’ in the imple-mentation of the classroom objectives. Attention is focused on the importance of using discussion and debate methods, performing creative tasks of a biographical and research nature, analysing the development of historical events and, as a result, carrying out joint creative projects. At the same time, the author reveals the content of historical research by student experts against the background of the description of the tragic events of 1941.
