Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the need to study the ethnocultural trend in national education, its place at the state level, especially as a national-regional component. The author of the article substantiates the reasons and patterns of development of the ethnocultural trend of education in Russia as a multinational country and substantiates its role in formation of national unity due to inclusion of the ethnopedagogical component of training the future school teachers and university teachers in the educational environment. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the contrastive analysis of modern statistics of demographic data, the national composition of the Russian Federation; legislative acts stimulating development of ethnocultural trends in Russia; description of the nationalregional component as a fundamental element in the education system of the Republic of Karelia, clarification of the similarities and differences between the terms “ethnocultural competence” and “ethnopedagogical competence”. As a result, the practical experience of the flagship university of Karelia - Petrozavodsk State University - is presented as an organization that forms the ethnopedagogical competence of students and a leading platform that implements the principles of ethnocultural education in the system of education and upbringing in the region, indicating examples of ways to develop the ethnocultural trend of education in Russia.
Highlights
In the Russian Federation, the importance of ethnocultural education, understood as “an integral process of studying, active development of ethnocultural heritage and education of the individual on ethnocultural traditions” [1, p. 193], is recognized as the key to the successful functioning of a multinational, multi-confessional and multicultural country
The Russian Federation has historically evolved as a multinational state, the trend of ethnocultural education has always been and remains relevant for it, since any domestic educational system “shall understand that the communities it serves are plural” [2, p. 296]
In recent years, such an approach has been actively included in teaching practice at Petrozavodsk State University (PetrSU), which makes it possible to make the most effective process of mastering ethnopedagogical competence by future teachers of the Republic of Karelia, which is understood as “the ability to carry out the educational process in a multicultural educational space (...) based on knowledge of the national pedagogical traditions of students” [19, p. 146]
Summary
