The Nikulin — Akimov dynasty of teachers

Abstract

This article describes representatives of three generations of a dynasty of teachers who have worked since 1966 and are currently working at the Nizhny Novgorod Railway Technical School. It focuses on three generations of the family: the founder of the dynasty, Nikolai Aleksandrovich Nikulin, his daughter, Galina Nikolaevna Nikulina (Akimova), and his granddaughter, Natalya Yuryevna Akimova (Godunova). The article explores the professional path of each member of the dynasty and their contribution to the development of the technical school: the creation of an electronics laboratory, the modernization of teaching laboratories, methodological work, and the leadership of clubs and scientific conferences. The continuity of professional traditions and the dynasty’s influence on the training of specialists for the railway industry are emphasized. The connection between the educational process and practical training on the Gorky Railway is demonstrated.
