Competencies of future teachers in a multicultural educational space: migrant children and a modern school

The article is devoted to the competence of future teachers to work with migrant children. The changes in the ethnic composition of students taking place in the modern Russian school determined the appeal to the analysis of professional tasks, difficulties and professional requirements of teachers. The methodological idea of the article is the consideration of migrant children as a special educational category of students requiring special methods and technologies of pedagogical activity. The area of application of the results is the pedagogical process of training future primary school teachers in the system of higher professional pedagogical education. Currently, the education system does not adequately meet the current demographic situation in the context of multicultural education: a significant increase in the number of migrant children in schools actualizes the study of ethno-pedagogical competencies of teachers in a multicultural educational environment. Teachers play a key role in the process of social adaptation of a child from a migrant family, but the problem of professional training of teachers to work with migrant children remains open. The revealed ethno-pedagogical nature of the problems, the necessary knowledge, the specifics of the content of the activity in solving the tasks of educational, socio-psychological and cultural adaptation of migrant children allowed us to conclude that the result of training teachers to work with migrant children is the formation of their ethno-pedagogical competence.
