Abstract
A Modern education means existence of the multicultural environment of educational institution that is concerned with processes of the general social, economic, cultural globalization and also the international educational integration. The purpose of our research is definition of an opportunity of means of the special educational, socially-oriented student’s leisure activities, educational activity of higher education institution to increase the level of interethnic tolerance of students. At the same time, the multicultural environment of educational institution is considered by us as the special pedagogical phenomenon which in turn is characterized not only by presence of students, who belong to various ethnic groups but also the involvement of teachers of higher education institution into process of cooperation with representatives of the educational organizations of the different countries.
So importance of formation of the stable multicultural environment of educational institution is defined by three aspects 1- need of maintenance of valuable continuity within one society, 2 – integration into world educational space, 3 – updating of the importance of cross-cultural communication. Thus, the educational potential of educational space of higher education institution allows considering process of formation of interethnic tolerance in the context of not just interethnic communication, but the international cooperation.
Development of students’ tolerance is based on the informed, active cooperation and mutual respect. For formation of interethnic tolerance as a result of a research we used not only possibilities of the studied objects, but also possibilities of the leisure centres of communication of social orientation. In such centres teachers who acted as advisers and initiators of holding student's actions worked with youth. The system of club work, involvement of youth in quality not only of participants, but also volunteers when holding the international youth, educational, scientific forums allows to satirize the need for acceptance of educational innovations, requirement not only in interpersonal but also in cross-cultural communication that has undoubtedly allowed to increase tolerance level. Formation of practical skills at the expense of the system of formal education within educational the organizations is the undoubtedly educational potential of humanitarian disciplines. So students of two higher education institutions of Kazan, the second and third courses which have been involved in all listed actions (43 students) have participated in an experiment. In comparison with the students who aren't involved in an experiment (40 people – control group) they have shown considerable changes in views and the attitude towards representatives of other nationalities (confidence, an openmindness, goodwill, readiness to come to the rescue). At the same time monitoring of educational achievements which was carried out at the same time has shown that students from experimental group have seriously thought of participation in programs of the academic mobility.
