Ethnocultural features of education in the Yakut family
The article reveals the ethnic principles of the Sakha pedagogy. The main goal of the Sakha people in raising children, like other peoples, is to instill in them the norms of social behavior in the spirit of ethnic traditions and to transfer all the wealth of the spiritual culture of the people. The whole way of life of the people and centuries-old traditions and customs have an educational effect on children. Such notions as Yakut cultural archetype «Ayii Kihite» or spiritual andmoral ideal, which is forming during the process of labor activity. The concept of justice is to some extent a concretization of the concept of Good. It is emphasized that the formation and development of the traditional education system of the Yakut people was influenced by the culture of the ancestors of the Sakha people and other peoples. Parents sought to consistently include children in real life, the lives of adults. In the era of globalization of the world community, the question of self-orientation and selfidentification of a person arises. In a multinational community, it is difficult to preserve the spiritual and moral values of people in its original form, but it should be possible to preserve the basic guidelines of traditional education. Modern education is aimed at the formation of a spiritual and moral personality, which values its historical roots and respects the traditions of his or her people. Currently, the existing pedagogical systems do not take into account the characteristics of psychology and self-awareness of children who belong to different ethnic groups. Ethnic features and methods of folk pedagogy can be claimed as adaptive technologies in educational activities. The guidelines of modern pedagogy can be the principles instilled in folk pedagogy in the education of humanism, respect for parents, the cult of the mother, the desire for justice, the ability to value nature, and self-reliance. Such guidelines adapt the characteristics of the psychology and selfconsciousness of Sakha children to the modern conditions of education.
