Abstract
The article deals with the basic principles of teaching Ukrainian folk dumas in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. Based on the principles of teaching Ukrainian folk dumas in higher educational institutions of Ukraine, we conducted an experimental study with further comparative analysis of the perception of dumas by Ukrainian and foreign students. We used the method of interview (including written feedback from students). The research was conducted in groups of Ukrainian and international students (from Africa and the Middle East) who studied at Sumy State University (Ukraine). 100 respondents aged 19-22 were interviewed. Students listened to audio recordings of Ukrainian folk dumas, analysed texts and gave written feedback about the perception of epic heroes and dumas in general. The results we obtained showed that teaching Ukrainian folk dumas based on the principle of close connection of teaching with the modern life of society and the principle of family-centrism helps students from different countries and cultures to recognise themselves as successors of traditions that form their spiritual world, an active life position and national identity in the context of modern globalisation processes. The use of these principles in teaching dumas promotes the students’ individual perception of the learning content, reveals national specifics of the student’s world outlook, deeply rooted in the genetic memory of generations and national psychology.
Highlights
In the context of modernisation processes which take place in the educational sphere, there is a need for innovative changes in the study of Ukrainian folk dumas in higher educational institutions of Ukraine
The purpose of our research is to characterise the basic principles of studying Ukrainian folk dumas and based on these principles to conduct an experimental study with further comparative analysis of the perceptions of dumas by Ukrainian and international students
The questions were as follows: 1) describe the main characters of dumas; 2) describe the symbolic system of dumas; 3) which dumas do you like most and why? 4) do you like bandura music? 5) what associations does this music cause? One of the most important principles of teaching Ukrainian folk dumas is the principle of the close connection of teaching with the modern life of Ukrainian society
Summary
In the context of modernisation processes which take place in the educational sphere, there is a need for innovative changes in the study of Ukrainian folk dumas in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. Ukrainian folk dumas were performed by highly professional folk singers – kobzars or bandura-players to the accompaniment of kobza, bandura or lira (Ukrainian national string musical instruments). These folk songs told people about various events, and about the values of freedom and independence, family values, devotion to homeland. Ukrainian folk dumas affirm humanistic ideals, high moral principles of the Ukrainian people This genre of folklore is studied by Ukrainian and international students of philological specialities within the discipline of “Ukrainian Folklore” (its variants: “Folklore”, “Ukrainian Oral Folk Poetics”, “Ukrainian Oral Folk Poetic Arts”) as well as the author's special courses. The purpose of our research is to characterise the basic principles of studying Ukrainian folk dumas and based on these principles to conduct an experimental study with further comparative analysis of the perceptions of dumas by Ukrainian and international students
