        This article explicates how different approaches to teaching history can enforce diverse strategies for dealing with uncertainty. Descriptions of three types of historical pedagogy are analysed as three kinds of modelling systems derived from Juri Lotman's theory of semiotics of culture: myth-type modelling, scientific modelling, and play-type modelling. The paper argues that the connection between pedagogical approaches and uncertainty, as an experience that occurs at the limits of knowledge, can be modelled as the relation between a semiotic system and its boundary. The nature of this relation can differ depending on how the division between the internal and external space of the semiotic entity is perceived. Different types of modelling systems establish distinct patterns in order to deal with the indeterminacy of the borderland area. In the process of learning, these patterns can be viewed as semiotic strategies that various pedagogical approaches enforce when arriving at the limits of knowledge and facing the situation of indeterminacy that can cause students to experience uncertainty. Three different strategies are discussed in the context of history education: avoiding uncertainty in the case of the collective memory approach, addressing uncertainty in the case of the disciplinary approach, and accepting uncertainty in the case of the post-modern approach to teaching history.
        В статье рассматривается, как различные подходы к преподаванию истории могут способствовать развитию различных стратегий для преодоления неопределенности. Исходя из теории семиотики культуры Юрия Лотмана в работе описываются три подхода к исторической педагогике как три типа моделирующих систем: мифологическое моделирование, научное моделирование и игровое моделирование. В статье аргументируется, что связь между педагогическими подходами и неопределенностью, как опытом, возникающим на краю знания, может быть описана как отношение между семиотической системой и ее границей. Природа этого отношения различается в зависимости от того, как воспринимается разделение между внутренним и внешним пространством семиотической системы. Разные типы моделирования предписывают различные схемы смыслопорождения для того, чтобы урегулировать неопределенность пограничного пространства. В процессе обучения эти схемы можно рассматривать как семиотические стратегии, которые различные типы педагогики применяют при достижении границ знания и столкновении с ситуацией неопределенности. В контексте исторического образования будут рассмотрены три стратегии: избегание неопределенности в случае педагогики коллективной памяти, решение проблемы неопределенности в случае дисциплинарного педагогического подхода и принятие неопределенности в случае постмодернистского подхода.
