INTEGRATED CLASSES IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AS THE WAY OF FORMING ETHNOCULTURAL COMPETENCE OF JUNIOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

The formation of ethnocultural competence by a junior schoolchild implies proficiency in their native language, knowledge of the culture and traditions of the people. The article is dedicated to an issue of developing the ethnocultural competence of primary schoolchildren. One of the ways of its formation is integrated classes of the Evenki language and the surrounding world in extracurricular activities. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the languages and culture of the peoples of the North are on the verge of extinction; research is being conducted on the issues of preserving the languages of the peoples of the North. The purpose of the article is to test the effectiveness of integrated classes of the native language and the surrounding world in the process of familiarization with Evenki culture – the formation of ethnocultural competence of junior schoolchildren. To achieve this goal, we set the following tasks: to analyze the importance of teaching the Evenki language and familiarization with the Evenki culture in the formation of ethnocultural competence; to conduct experimental work on the formation of ethnocultural competence of junior schoolchildren in integrated classes in extracurricular activities. Based on research and practical experience, the authors of the article propose a holistic model for the formation of ethnocultural competence, which includes knowledge, skills, as well as understanding and respect for the native and various ethnic and cultural groups.
