The materials of the conference make a reliable empirical foundation for further in-depth understanding of the problem of education. Moreover, as it was noted in the speech of I.L. Zubova, PhD. Phil. Sciences, Associate Professor (Ulyanovsk State. University), education is not only a specialized social institution, but also the phenomenon penetrating in all the spheres of our life, when a person is formed as a human being, creating new meanings. Thus education inevitably becomes humanitarian and sensecreation is treated as the highest form of social renewal. In its turn, the social renewal in the space-time dimension "here-and-now" is a new understanding of historicity. Therefore, the knowledge of history and intellectual history plays a special role in the humanization of society, science and schools.

Modern educational model "School of understanding (communicative didactics)", built on a strategy of sensecreation and understanding was developed by U.L. Troitsky – candidate of hist. sciences, Associate Professor of the department of History and Theory of humanities, deputy director of the Institute of Philology and History of Russian State Humanitarian University. He’s an author of more than 80 works, including the teaching of history (collections of "Communicative Pedagogy: from the School of knowledge to the School of understanding ", "Prospects of the historical and cultural education in high school and school: theory and Practice" and others.) acquainted the participants of the conference and specially invited teachers, trainers, students with his innovative model of education. The principal difference between the "School of understanding" from the traditional pedagogical models is to shift from broadcast and playback of the ready knowledge, to creating the conditions (education environment) for self-education and self-development of students. The diversity of the conference program was made by a presentation by U.L. Troitsky of the multimedia product - developing educational program "My history of Russia." The program of the conference was completed wit a master class by U.L Troitsky on the innovation system of historical education ("history without textbooks") on the basis of the Lyceum of physics, mathematics, IT number 40 for teachers, trainers and students, which caused a lively discussion.

All the reports stated in the conference program will be published in the near future by the Museum "Homeland of V.I. Lenin " in the conference proceedings.
