Ethnopedagogy in the context of the development of modern pedagogical science

the ethnopedagogical approach in modern scientific research and practical educational activities presuppose reliance on a clearly verified conceptual and terminological apparatus that systematizes the material used, gives it integrity and logically fits it into the system of existing knowledge. From these positions, the article attempts to critically analyze the definitions of the basic concepts of ethnopedagogy, the relevance of which has recently been very relevant. Considering ethnopedagogy as one of the types of pedagogy, the author suggests definitions of such concepts as «folk pedagogy», «folk education», «ethnic pedagogy», which allow to evaluate the heritage of traditional pedagogical culture in a somewhat new way and to determine the role of ethnic pedagogy not only in the ethno-cultural formation of personality and its introduction to universal human values, but also in the effective provision of any educational processes by fulfilling the requirements of the principle of cultural conformity. In addition, the outlines of individual provisions of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the development and organization of national education are laid.
