Methodology of teaching morphology in the pages of the journal "Russian Language at School"

Abstract

The article is based on the materials published in the Russian Language at School journal in 2005–2024. It examines issues related to the system of teaching morphology. The study substantiates the importance of the school course in morphology for developing schoolchildren’s understanding of their native language grammar. Based on the analysis of articles on the above-mentioned subject matter, the elements of the methodological system of teaching morphology were identified. They include the aim and objectives, principles and methods, content, and means of teaching morphology as well as approaches to teaching morphology. Each element is illustrated with specific examples which ensure that pupils understand the school course in morphology as a system. The results of the conducted research were obtained with such theoretical examination methods as aspect and review analysis. The paper concludes that reference to the publications in the Russian Language at School journal enables one to organise the process of teaching morphology in the school course of the Russian language as a unified holistic system supported with theoretical, methodological, and practical material.
