The purpose of the article is to analyze the prospects for the ethnographic aspect usage as a component of the content of higher education and ethno cultural activities of future specialists. Certain aspects of the study of disciplines from the standpoint of Ukrainian ethnology are highlighted. The importance of using materials from Ukrainian ethnology for the spiritual development and education of youth is emphasized. It is emphasized that understanding the formation of national self-identification as a result of the appropriate provision of the professional training process is one of the most significant competencies of the 21st century. The possibilities of ethnology for updating the content of teaching professional disciplines for future specialists in the humanitarian field have been identified. The issue’s relevance is explained by the need to form a young person’s worldview based on national and universal spiritual values, respect for the achievements of national culture, and the use of rich folk traditions in the course of ethno cultural activities. One of the main tasks of reforming the modern education system is to provide a solution to the issue of the formation of civil society as a community ready to participate in the processes of state formation and to protect democratic values, the territorial integrity of the country since without the affirmation of democratic values in the consciousness of the individual, an active civic position formation, moral responsibility for the fate of the country, education of beliefs, feelings of love and respect for the cultural and historical past of Ukraine, solving the task of modern transformation of Ukrainian society is not possible. Ethnology is considered to be an integrative component of the content of education in secondary and higher education institutions; the need for a more systematic approach to the content of the educational material of Ukrainian-cultural disciplines, which contain a powerful formative and educational potential, which contributes to the process of self-awareness of the Ukrainian people, the establishment of Ukraine as a political nation and an independent state, is emphasized.
