The All-Russian Pedagogical Forum at Adygea State University convened participants from five regions across Russia.  Held on April 22–23, the forum titled "From Origins to Innovations: Didactics in Light of the Development of Scientific Schools' Ideas" took place at the Scientific Library of Adyghe State University. The event was organized by the Department of Pedagogy and Pedagogical Technologies within the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology, as part of the university’s strategic "Priority 2030" development program.

The forum convened a diverse group of participants, including academics, methodologists, university professors, school teachers, as well as graduate, master's, and undergraduate students from the Republic of Adygea, the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Perm, St. Petersburg, and Krasnodar Krai. The primary objective of the event was to explore the fundamental principles of didactics, integrating classical academic traditions with the demands of a modern, digital, and project-oriented educational environment. Murat Bedanokov,

The First Vice-Rector of ASU Murat Bedanokov, delivered a welcoming address to the participants. Representatives from the Leningrad Scientific Pedagogical and Methodological School from across Russia took part in the plenary session. The forum featured three thematic conferences dedicated to advancing the ideas of distinguished scientists: "Didactics: Developmental Learning as a Strategic Resource for Personal Development" (based on the ideas of G.D. Kirillova), "Didactics of Biological Education: Greening and the Unity of Living Knowledge" (based on the ideas of I.N. Ponomareva), and "Chemistry: The Formula of Cognition" (based on the ideas of N.E. Kuznetsova).

The program also included presentations by school teachers on innovative projects, such as "ETHNOBOTANY" named after Barasbiy Khakunov (Secondary School No. 5, Blechepsin village), the "Tkhagushevsky Class" (Secondary School No. 3, Dzherokay village), an interdisciplinary study of Circassian fruit varieties (Khabez village, Karachay-Cherkessia), projects aimed at preserving the natural environment of Adygea, and methods for developing reading literacy.

Students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences at ASU presented their research findings during subject-specific conferences. The educational program was further enriched by a tour of the university’s laboratories. 

The "From Origins to Innovations" forum served as a platform for reflecting on modern didactics within the context of research continuity across generations and the systemic interaction between schools and universities. Participants emphasized that didactics is a dynamic, evolving field shaped by the efforts of various scientific schools and practicing educators. The ideas of G.D. Kirillova, I.N. Ponomareva, and N.E. Kuznetsova continues to hold significant heuristic potential and is effectively being adapted within digital educational environments.

Following the forum, an electronic collection of articles is planned for publication, which will be made available in the Scientific Electronic Library and included in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) scientometric database.
