Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the article is to solve one of the urgent problems of education: the methodology of the formation of universal competences, which in universities of culture and art is solved due to such a discipline as world art culture. In Russian Federal Educational Standards of the new generation, special attention is paid to the new block of professional qualities of university graduates – universal competences. One of the universal competences is readiness for intercultural communication, which manifests itself in the ability to analyze and consider the diversity of culture in the process of intercultural interaction. Methodology: To achieve the set goal, the authors based their work on the methodology synthesizing the experience of the Berlin School of Comparative Musicology (E. Hornbostel, K. Sachs), the traditions of world ethnomusicology (A. Lomax, A. Merriam, J. Blaking, M. Hood), culturological approach to education (V. Kanke), as well as a multicultural methodological approach. These pedagogical technologies ensure the efficiency of forming the universal competence of university graduates. Main Findings: The main conclusions of the study are as follows. The modern world is not conceivable outside the multicultural paradigm of development. Therefore, close attention is paid to the formation of the universal competence of intercultural communication. This quality of human personality is necessary for solving many world conflicts and problems. Experts in the field of culture and art are able to solve this problem due to their professional competence. Applications of this study: The research results can be useful in the field of scientific and methodological development of university disciplines, development of state policy in the field of education and culture, as well as scientific research on international relations in the field of culture, education, and art. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of the research consists in the idea that expanding one’s understanding of the most important categories of worldview by overcoming Eurocentric restrictions to form universal competencies requires acquisition of the spiritual continuum and artistic conventions of other cultures, which is impossible without conscious effort, need for artistic and aesthetic self-improvement and desire to master practical activities in various fields of art. Any manifestation of culture is a reflection of the type of thinking. Therefore, the introduction to the multicultural traditions leads to the development of different types of thinking and identification of common and particular features, resulting in the development of universal thinking and cognitive techniques in the field of humanitarian knowledge.
