TOMSK STATE PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY

The city of Tomsk, with more than four centuries of history, could be called the “Siberian Athens”. The city began to develop a special spiritual atmosphere early in the 19th century. Tomsk became the site of the first higher educational and cultural establishments east of the Urals: the City Theater (1850), the Public Library (1871), the Book Shop (1873), the Imperial University (1888), the Technological Institute (1900), the Commercial College (1901), and the Teachers’ Institute (1902). Almost all Siberian institutes of higher learning and academic trends found their origins in Tomsk. The city of Tomsk acknowledged as the center of culture, education, and science in Siberia

The fates of Tomsk’s institutes of higher education are closely interconnected, with the separate schools uniting to form a scientific-educational complex. Tomsk State Pedagogical University has a special place in the structure of Tomsk’s higher learning institutes. As the historical successor to the Teachers’ Institute, the Pedagogical University combines the best professional traditions with modern and innovative educational methodologies.

PAGES OF HISTORY…

Tomsk State Pedagogical University (TSPU) was founded at the Royal Command of His Majesty Emperor Nicholas II as the “Teachers’ Institute” on July 1, 1902. It was the first institute of the pedagogical type in the Asian part of Russia. At first, it was situated in a small wooden house, but by the summer of 1905 a special building for Tomsk Teachers’ Institute was built. The building is constructed in a modern style and is one of the finest designs of the famous Siberian architects, F.F. Gut.

The Tomsk Teachers’ Institute was famous in Russia for its progressive pedagogical ideas and creative traditions. At first, the Teachers’ Institute was an all-male educational institution for whose students were trained in all subjects. After the February Revolution of 1917 in Russia, 13 women were accepted to the Institute for the first time, and the Institute was pided into three departments: historical and philological, physical and mathematical, natural and geographical.

The revolutionary civil war and the introduction of Soviet Power brought changes to the entire structure of Russian education. The operation of the Tomsk Teachers’ Institute was temporarily suspended in 1920 and resumed only a decade later in the year 1930. In August 1931, the Institute was re-established as “Tomsk State Pedagogical Institute”.

On the eve of World War II the Institute had respectable pedagogical personnel as staff members and more than 30 professors working on a part-time basis. The Institute was expanded in the 1940s with the creation of the School of Scientific Linguistics, and again in the 1970s with the School of Theoretical Physics. Since the 1990s, the School of Methods of Teaching Mathematics has been continually developing. The Institute’s reputation as an international authority in the field of pedagogy has been bolstered by the active academic research of its employees and its foreign contacts with academic institutions in the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, France, Hungary, Poland, Japan and other countries.

On June 26, 1995 the Tomsk State Pedagogical Institute receives the status of University.
