Turning the research view to the use of mechanisms of folk pedagogy that contribute to the formation of civil identity, the ability of students to think, feel and act. Due to the systemic (spiritual, moral, ethno-cultural, socio-economic and socio-legal) crisis in society, many serious problems have accumulated that can be solved mainly on an ethnopedagogical basis, through the ethnopedagogization of the integral process of education in the family and school.
