Multiculturalism as a pedagogical category of integrative-modular approach in education

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of problems of multicultural education, where not all aspects have received the necessary degree of scientific validity, which is reflected in the terminological and conceptual apparatus. The study of the history of the issue allows us to talk about the relevance and complexity of the stated problem. The authors of the article cited six main positions, revealing the complexity of the problem posed by scientists from different countries. And they unanimously agree that the main goal is to provide quality education at all levels to every member of the society. The results of the research and the questioning of the respondents determined the relevance of multicultural knowledge, which is necessary for conducting professional activities in a multicultural environment, taking into account the peculiarities of the socio-cultural situation of development. The students are obliged to know the modern problems of multicultural education, the history of the emergence and formation of the ideas of multicultural education. Methods of comparison and generalization allowed the authors of this article to determine the range of problems of modern multicultural education, which is considered as a means of development of ethnocultural and professional competence. In addition, the results of the respondents' questionnaire on the definition of the tasks and content of multicultural education are given. On the basis of these results, formed by conducting sociological surveys, the directions and conceptual provisions of the ideas of multicultural education in pedagogical science are proposed. The practical significance of the study is aimed at forming the sum of competencies for carrying out professional activities in a multicultural environment.
