THE FORMATION OF ETHNOGRAPHIC CULTURE OF STUDENTS AS PEDAGOGICAL AND SOCIO-CULTURAL ISSUE

The study of issues of ethnography and ethnographic competence remains relevant, as it makes possible to bring the system of ethnographic education in the Russian Federation to a higher level, which can resolve and improve the quality of interethnic interaction of people. Under the conditions of political and spiritual transformations occurring in recent years in all the spheres of the Chechen Republic the tendencies of revival of traditional forms of national education are outlined in the state education system. This fact can be explained by the need to remember about people who live nearby, about their concerns as well as to find the ways to help them to tackle their problems etc. For this reason, one of the important components of ethnographic competence is profound knowledge of own surrounding world, of those who speak a different language, have different family and everyday habits and traditions, a different culture, cuisine preferences, national costumes, etc. The author of the article concludes that the modern Chechen Republic is a fork in the road, the intersection of many civilizations. The fact of multi-ethnic and multi-religious Chechen republics, the further development of inter-ethnic friendship and unity between nations make it necessary to raise and develop the ethnography of the republic, ethnographic education, and ethnographic competence of population, contributing to understanding of surrounding people, neighboring cultures and their interests. The discussion of the problems of ethnographic competence will generally raise the ethnographic education of the inhabitants of the republic to a new level.
