USING THE POTENTIAL OF ETHNOCULTURE IN THE AESTHETIC EDUCATION OF SCHOOLCHILDREN

Abstract

The article analyzes the current state of the schoolchildren aesthetic education by ethnoculture. The authors take a systematic approach as the basis for the organization of this process, characterized by the unity of educational and upbringing tasks, integrity, universality and integrativity. At the same time, they identify two relevant activity key areas: an integrated approach to aesthetic education with priority to the traditional folk pedagogy values and attitudes, as well as introducing schoolchildren to folk culture through the identification of connections, similarities and differences existing between different nations of art and culture in Russia. As the main means to introduce students to folk culture and develop their aesthetic qualities, the authors consider such organized activity forms, the implementation of which implies the integration of regular and extracurricular activities.
