SPECIFIC FEATURES OF EDUCATIONAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FACILITIES OF MEDIEVAL UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The authors show that in the Middle Ages, intellectual jobs became a source of income and improving personal social status. The growth of respect for the sphere of education affected the increasing charity and maintenance of colleges and universities. From the XII century teachers and masters became to receive constant salary. A number of women in education institutions increased too. For the first time in the history of pedagogy, the following conclusions are drawn. Medieval educational institutions not only preserved a lot of the ancient pedagogical heritage, but also created a new education system based on the principle of accessibility for all people. Latin grammar textbooks, written in medieval period, were used for many centuries later, and it indi-cates a high level of scientific and pedagogical thought of that era. At the same time at the end of the Middle Ages the theological-scholastic nature of educational institutions became a brake on further cultural and scien-tific development. Therefore, universities did not play an essential role in further establishment and development of technical education.
