Introduction. The development of a class of interdisciplinary methods is an urgent task of modern pedagogy. It is promising to use methods from other fields of knowledge in the analysis of literary texts, for example – methods of folklore. In folkloristics there is a stable tradition of this kind of analysis. However, the work of scientists is little known to students of secondary and higher schools.
Materials and methods. What a unique analytical resource remains unused in educational, methodical and scientific work can demonstrate the analysis of a literary fairy tale. We are talking about the work of A. S. Pushkin «The Tale of Tsar Saltan, his son, the glorious and mighty hero Prince Guidon Saltanovich and the beautiful Princess-Swans». The methods of folkloristics used for the analysis are primarily structural-typological and structural-functional.
Research result. Analysis of the author’s tales of A. S. Pushkin with the power of the methods of scientific folklore allows you to state a hypothesis: in this work, through refraction in a variety of folk mediums, reflected wedding ceremony times Eurasian tribal communities (the beginning of the Neolithic period and even earlier). This discovery allows the student to reach a new level of perception of fiction, to see it in the context of history.
Discussion and conclusion. The educational process in secondary and higher education requires the development of a class of interdisciplinary methods to improve its quality. For the socio-humanitarian profile, these are methods in literary studies, as well as in cultural studies, Ethnography and other disciplines. The analysis shows the prospects of using the methods of folklore in the analysis of literary texts in the educational process of educational institutions.
