Comparative analysis of historical development and systemic characteristics of music teacher training in China and Russia

in the article, based on the line "history – institutions – curricula", a five-component comparison framework is constructed: "concept – structure – goals – curriculum – methods" for the analysis of music teacher training in China and Russia. It is concluded that the Chinese system is characterized by the following link: "the union of secular and moral-educational functions – synthesis of Chinese and Western traditions – practice-oriented", while the Russian one is characterized by "personal development – multi-level professionalization – a combination of individualization and practice". Additionally, the "pedagogical type of thinking" is identified as a key mediator between the historical and cultural heritage and modern curriculum design, which helps explain the differences in the construction of course modules, organization of practical training and assessment of competencies.
