The Formation of Russian Children's Folklore: National and Cultural Specifics

Abstract

The humanization of the modern educational process is aimed at developing the general cultural component of the content of education and involves focusing on the child’s personality, developing his individuality, creative abilities and nurturing spiritual culture. In the formation of a person’s spiritual culture and moral beliefs, a significant role belongs to ethnopedagogy, national culture, history, native language and folklore. Folklore, which has gone through centuries of development, is a unique treasury of the cultural heritage of our ancestors and has great educational potential, which is not sufficiently taken into account in the education of schoolchildren.
