Annotation The article is written on the basis of the analysis of a large array of factual material, which allowed the author to identify trends and tendencies in the development of the history of literature teaching methods. This determined the relevance, novelty of the conducted desk study and its purpose – to substantiate the need to overcome the negative trend in understanding the methodological heritage of the twentieth century, as well as to identify possible ways to overcome this. The main research methods are content analysis of sources, in-depth interviews. The article shows how the negative trend in the assessment of the methodological heritage was overcome. The author primarily attributed the expansion of the context (updating the names of methodologists and their scientific works in the professional field) to significant factors, which entailed a significant update of the content of manuals and anthologies on the history of the methodology, and also the creation of the “Bio-bibliographical Dictionary” on the methodology of teaching literature. The publication of these books largely has determined the trend of development of science at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The second significant factor has become the change in the approach to understanding a specific methodological system. The author believes that the starting point for the development of not only the history of literature teaching methods, but also methodological science as a whole, today can be the historical-bibliographic approach, within the framework of which a methodological bibliography is created, and shows what has been done in this direction, and what remains to be done. The author claims that attention to the creation of a bibliography arises in the case of the republication of the scientist’s works or his anniversary. This is a constantly emerging trend in methodology. In the publications of anniversary articles, the author distinguishes two directions: analytical and “recollective” and designates the conditions (setting a scientific task and using the biographical method), under which the “recollective” trend can be transformed.
Key words history of methodology, trend, tendency, historical and bibliographic approach, methodological bibliography, biographical method
