The author of a number of works on the history of pedagogy and aesthetic education.

M.F.Dadenkov, developing the idea of ​​the famous German teacher Linde, argued that

“The necessary condition for all true teaching is the personality of the teacher and the combination of teaching material with his own soul, without which the teacher turns into a gramophone ”

And, since the main task of the school was the upbringing of a harmoniously developed person, the teacher also had a requirement that he himself be a harmoniously developed person. But the most important thing is that for the teacher “ all the spiritual heritage of the nation, as well as all knowledge relating to upbringing and pedagogy, should become his inner life ”.
