STUDY OF ETHNOCULTURAL AWARENESS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN AS A RESULT OF THE PROCESS OF INTRODUCTION TO ETHNOCULTURAL VALUES

Abstract

The article examines a problem of studying the ethnocultural awareness of primary school students as a result of the process of introducing them to ethnocultural values. During the ascertaining stage of the study, diagnostic tools are selected to ensure the reliability and scientific validity of the results, and suggest a combination of theoretical and empirical research methods: questionnaires, the method of unfinished sentences, conversation, analysis of children’s activity products, observation, qualitative and quantitative analysis of empirical research data. The obtained results of the study indicate that the presence of ethnocultural knowledge and ideas does not guarantee their positive manifestation in interethnic interaction. Empirical data are the basis for developing a model for organizing the process of introducing primary school students to ethnocultural values, taking into account the national composition of the team and the ethnocultural characteristics of the region.
