Formation of Ethnocultural Competence in Pedagogical Activity: Sociocultural Aspect of Research

Introduction. In modern society of social change, key competencies are of particular importance. They ensure not only the survival of the individual in new socio-economic and socio-cultural conditions, but also the success of his professional activities, compliance with international standards, as well as the competitiveness of the teacher in a single educational space.
Materials and methods. Currently, there is reason to speak not only about the competencies that were inherent in the teacher and form the basis of his professional skills, but also about completely new competencies that should still be mastered. When considering these issues, general scientific methods and approaches, comparative analysis, historical and
hermeneutic methods of scientific research are used.
Results. According to the authors, ethnocultural competence is among the key competencies. Ethnocultural competence as an integrative entity has its structure. The motivational component of the ethnocultural competence of the teacher is considered as a combination of motives adequate to the goals and objectives of the teacher’s professional activities in a multi-ethnic region. The special role in the process of ethnocultural competence formation belongs to the
education system.
Discussion and conclusion. Ethnocultural competence is defined as a systemic sociocultural phenomenon that has objective and subjective sides. The objective side lies in the requirements that society places on the professional activities of the teacher. The subjective side of ethnocultural competence is a reflection of the objective side, which is refracted through the personality of the specialist, his professional activity, the peculiarities of motivation in improving and
developing his ethnocultural competence. The education system lays the foundations of axiological and praxiological attitude to the world, forms the logic of thinking. One of the features of the education system in solving the problem of ethnocultural competence formation is that a specific sociocultural ethnic phenomenon operates in it.
