FOUNDATIONS
OF MORALITY ETNO-SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL EDUCATION OF SCHOOLCHILDREN
In the context of
globalization of modern civilization and the development of electronic
technology major factor of influence is becoming the world's culture, which are
regarded as super as an important mechanism for the inclusion of specific
regions in its sphere of influence.
The international community is entering a new phase in which the
dominant factor in Globe policy and a fundamental source of conflict will be not
political or economic differences, and, above all, cultural and ethnic
differences and contradictions. Objective or subjective inequality partners of
cultural dialogue are prerequisite geopolitical influences.
In this context, currently a growing struggle for influence of the
spiritual world and a section of space. Today, the strategic objective of the
geopolitical expansion of the world leaders in developing countries - make them
self like in the political and economic system, social system, ideology,
psychology, culture. All this gave rise to the notion of spiritual security as
a condition of allowing the culture and society to maintain their vital
parameters within the historical norm, because beyond the norm under the
influence of different kinds of factors (and, above all, cultural,
value-normative nature) leads to disruption and, ultimately, finite account to
a national catastrophe, etc. the
disintegration of society as an integrated system in relation to the structural
destruction of its spiritual foundation.
In connection with the foregoing, it can be concluded that one of the
most effective mechanisms are realization of geopolitical problems, and above
all, in the plane of spiritual security is a moral and spiritual education.
Moral and spiritual education - the
most important mechanism of transmission and reproduction of cultural values,
ideals and meanings of life, form and content, which is determined by
specificity of «national-cultural world», formed by history, language,
philosophy, literature, tradition, psychology.
The goals of moral and spiritual education is seen by us as crucial to
the preservation of native culture as a holistic phenomenon and the main
prerequisites for the spiritual safety of the public, because only the
«cultural self condition» there is a guarantee of the greatness of the people
and independence.
How is it considered the issue in
the Kazakh classical philosophy? At the heart of philosophy was Abay, and that
he is drawn to it by making a great appeal: «Be human! ». Abay understood man
as an integrated personality. He combined the soul and mind in I and he said,
that I not die from the beginning, that the mind and the soul eternal, only the
existence of different forms. For I the mind and soul are not enough, you need
the presence of «my» as system properties and relations. This has been
specifically allocated by Abay: «wit and intellect - it is I, but the body - Mine».
If a person is, the soul and body are united, they are not separated in life,
and they begin to separate at the end of life. I am and mine
co-owned by a man when he owns the life. When they begin to break down, and
then come the end of life. Abay thought that people do not die, and die nature,
a substance found in the human body.
The nature is death.
The man did not die.
Although not live, not come back.
Disconnection with me to my natural
The ignoramus full name of death.
Traditionally, a person is understood as a link in the chain of being.
Abay shows that no human life loses meaning. He is - the centre of the
universe. Spirituality is one of the basic principles in man. Humans absorb it
through the books and folk tales, the sound of musical instruments, visiting
mosques and minarets. Understanding world of culture, people know the ideas and
ideals, language and behavioural norms. This leads him to thinking and
perception of spiritual and moral principles, ideas, kindness, beauty, good,
truth and justice. If a person is the centre of the universe, it becomes the centre
of his identity.
The central figure of philosophy of Shakarim – is people. It is the
subject of his special care and attention. According to the Kazakh educational
traditions, philosopher believed that the essence of human nature and his
appointment is in knowledge and, above all, to know the truth. But the truth is
not a man given to feelings. People can see it only through the eyes of the
mind, as the main underlying truth is the truth about the causes and nature of
the universe.
Taking into account, we can assume
that according to his convictions, the first truth is the truth of faith,
recognizing the Creator and the immortality of the soul. The second truth -
this is true science, based on sensual perceptions and rational thinking.
Finally, the third truth - that truth is the soul, substation based on the
conscience. It is the conscience of the soul as the original demand and price
truth that can cleanse from moral abomination, and put it on the path of righteousness.
One of the major conceptual
approaches are fundamental in the process of studying the course «Self study» -
is the ethno-social-role approach, developed by us.
The essence of it is to enable
children from early years to implement the ethno-social roles and the
continuation of their performance throughout the human life. General means are
- the customs, the role of ethno-social content. Here we assume an essential
postulate of Kazakh people, based on the idea of «The boy has three relatives»
(three areas of relationship).
Each person as a representative of the ethnic group in their development
takes a few steps ethnosation (enculturation), through the development of
ethno-social roles. Each ethno-social role - a sort of "package" defined
as a person as a representative of the ethnic group as the duties and functions
related to the implementation of this role.
Kazakh people - one of those
people who appreciate and values relationships. This attitude of the people,
each has its own unspoken rationale inherent in the relationship of certain
norms (customs, traditions), involves a sequence of specific actions and their
external manifestation, through the rite, ritual. Related forms of
communication - it is a kind of ethno-social roles, which are manifested
through the relationship, in strict accordance with the function of which the
role.
Therefore, we believe that by
restoring the current system of the Kazakh ethnic education must take into
account the natural foundations which are rooted in the people, the culture of
his relations, a system of ethno-social roles.
Thus, in the sense of ethnic
identity development of education as a subject of the ethnic group has its
formation in the vital and dynamic development of ethno-social roles during the
life. An indicator of the harmonious development of personality as a subject of
the ethnic group is the degree of ethno-social development of its role in
accordance with the age and sex, in dialectical unity with the social roles in
society, the workplace, as a citizen, family man, and labour.
The formation of the individual, in
this context, there is a process and outcome of its development, the core of
which is the development of social roles in dialectical unity with the ethno-social
roles. The process of development or implementation of an ethno-social
integrative role is characteristic of human development. It is quite objective,
as well as the development and implementation of "ethno-social roles is
the unity of all parties and the manifestation of personality, its rational,
emotional, willed, moral, aesthetic, practical beginning. Everything merges
into a coherent whole: the intention and motive, and action, and the result.
Thus, the criterion of ethnic identity is a breeding objective characteristic
of its willingness and ability to perform a particular ethno-social role.
Ethno-social-role approach to education is an integrated tool of Kazakh
ethnic upbringing, with its natural basis, as the Kazakh relationship survived
and has a great impact on ethnic education.
National
ethics as a form of Kazakhs was originally linked to ethno social-role
orientation, so people who are well mastered the role of ethno-social, can feel
comfortable in any environment. In communicative terms, it is a landmark
dialogue and behaviour. Ethno-social role - it is a set of rules of conduct and
communication, business card unwritten rights, ethno-social survived in this
role.
Every person is - a member of the ethnic group by birth.
Each person is - the representative of the ethnic group there are three sets of
relationships:
- Relatives of the
father (his relatives);
- Relatives of the mother (mother’s
relatives);
- Relatives of the husband (wife) (wife’s
relatives).
We draw attention to the ethno-social role, because in
a revival of ethnic culture, children have to absorb this in a spirit of
kinship inherent Kazakhs initially. Especially the problem when it comes to
national unity. By understanding ourselves: Who am I? What are my
responsibilities? What is my mission? - Awareness of their responsibilities
towards the other child is coming slowly, aware of the nature of their
ethno-social role. Each role - son, an only son, senior son, middle son, little
son (son, an only son, the firstborn, the middle son, younger) - is not just a
priority, for someone who was born. This is a measure of responsibility. Who
takes responsibility: senior son - he is responsible for all of their younger
brothers and sisters. "Aghasi bardyn, zhagasy bar" (people who have
older brother - in fact there is a "gate" in the sense of barrier,
protection). Much responsibility lies with the younger son - he was the future
owner of a large why home "Kara shangrak," he is the main domain
successor of his father. In general, the Kazakhs were attached great importance
to the birth of a son. It has long been, when the birth of his son was
associated with the continuation of family, strength, valour, courage,
independence of the family. Currently, responsibility for the sons to make wealth,
the family of the Kazakhs is more preserved. It would be the tradition to
revive, strengthen and transmit to future generations.
Studying ethno-social role, the
child gradually goes from one age stage to another, respectively, moving from
one ethno-social role to another. Although they are not always strictly
correspond to each other: age - the role of ethno-social development, as well
as depending on the individual features of personality someone reaches social
maturity earlier and creates a family, moving to a new ethno-social status,
someone at a later date. Therefore, accounting for ethno-social-role approach
to education in modern schools is especially necessary, because adequate
treatment to the child in accordance with the «status» will allow us to find a
common language as a student and his parents. Based on the requirements of an
integrated approach to education, the development of even a single ethno-social
role solves complex problems in the framework of its development and implementation:
• tasks of moral education - a humane approach, peace, moderation, kindness,
respect for elders;
• to
mental training and the formation of worldviews, each role requires strict
compliance with the requirements for knowledge of laws, not only nature but
also the laws of social life, the laws of the universe;
•
Physical Education for each role entails the quest for physical perfection
standard at a certain stage of age: the ability to ride and throw a spear - for
boys, girls - the ability to walk smoothly and beautifully, have flexible
standards;
• for each role of labour education, starting from infancy, to the development
of certain skills;
• For
aesthetic education involves the development of the eventual formation of a
sense of beauty, which must occur not only in appearance, but in all respects:
in mien, in communion, in the discharge of any cases in the health not only
physically, but and morale;
• in
terms of patriotic education, and concern about the environmental status of the
native land of the role involves the development of protection not only from
enemies but from Neglect relationship to it by humans.
In the current implementation of school ethno-social roles should be combined in
dialectical unity with socialization, preparation for the development and
implementation of social roles: Defender of the Fatherland, family man, labour
citizen.
