Nesterenko S. Formation of Ethnocultural Competence in Senior School Students in the Process of Learning Civic Lyrics

The dissertation is concerned with theoretical and experimental research of methods aimed at forming ethnocultural competence in senior school students in the process of learning civic lyrics. This scientific work includes justification of ethnocultural competence components as well as description of levels and criteria of its formation. In this scientific work we propose a conceptual methodical model of ethnocultural competence formation during learning civic lyrics; effectiveness of this model has been theoretically grounded and experimentally checked. From a structural point of view the methodical model consists of 4 components: target component, conceptual component, semantic component and activity-oriented component. Coherent interaction of all components results in quantitative and qualitative changes in the process of forming ethnocultural competence in senior school students. The research has clarified the essence of the "ethnocultural competence" notion which has been interpreted as a personal achievement of schoolchildren in knowing, understanding, analyzing and popularizing phenomena of the Ukrainian culture (and the Ukrainian civic lyrics in particular) as well as in being respectful to cultural values, manifesting tolerance to something alien if it does not contradict to ideas of national independence and territorial integrity of the country. In the worked out methodology the level of formation of the ethnocultural competence consists in ability of senior school students to apply acquired knowledge about the Ukrainian language and literature, material and spiritual values of the Ukrainian ethnos, national nature and methods of ethnic self-expression in developing skills of finding ethnocultural markers in literary texts and determining their importance and role for revealing the author's plan, as well as in revealing the values-based attitude to something ethnic as to something nation-forming. The developed methodical system of forming ethnocultural competence represents interrelation between contents, methods and ways of educational activities of students aimed at increasing their level of readership culture, ethnocultural knowledge and skills. The level of formation of the ethnocultural competence during lessons of Ukrainian literature has been determined as a result of a deep multifaceted learning of civic poetry, which has a high, sufficient, medium and low level. The composition of ethnocultural competence includes several components (cognitive component, subject-activity approach (skills and abilities) axiological (motivational and personal) approach. Experimental learning confirmed effectiveness of innovative teaching methods in combination with traditional methods according to M. Kodriashov's classification of methods used for teaching literature. We have experimentally confirmed the hypothesis that effectiveness of forming ethnocultural competence depends on a set of factors including such factors as modeling the process of civic poetry learning taking into account influence of emotional and value dialog between the reader and the persona (narrator) and (through this narrator) between the reader and the author of the literary work, application of text linguostylistic analysis with the emphasis on the ethnocultural picture of the world of Ukrainian citizens, specifics of author's position manifestation in its national-and-value aspect, application of specific teaching techniques.
