DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ ETHNIC TOLERANCE DURING THEIR UNIVERSITY STUDIES

Arzamaszeva N.G. 1
1 Mari State University
Russia nowadays is a diversified multiethnic country, thus facing numerous ethnic challenges, such as cross cultural conflicts, inter-ethnic intolerance, decline of national culture, etc. These problems can’t be solved unless certain quality improvements are introduced in education and methods of teaching and learning are modernized. Our research is aimed at the development of ethnic tolerance of future teachers via psychological and pedagogic disciplines taught at the university. Ethnic tolerance is considered to be one of the indicators of ethnic and cultural competence development of a student. For this purpose we developed a model of ethnic tolerance development in undergraduate students via psychological and pedagogical disciplines. The model includes three stages: preliminary, applicable and reflective. Our experience proves that development of ethnic tolerance is an important indicator of future teachers’ commitment to their professional activity, positive attitude to and interaction with people of different nationalities, respect of human dignity and identity.
