EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE FATHER AS A FACTOR OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE CHILD

The development of the child is one of the priorities of the family. In Russia, as a multicultural space, there is a tendency to increase the number of interethnic marriages. The presence of families with children of various nationalities who support certain cultural traditions is reflected in the construction of educational activities with families within the educational process. The leading and irreplaceable role in the upbringing of a well-rounded personality is assigned to the father. The problem is that there are no studies analyzing the educational activities of fathers of other nationalities except Russian. This article presents the results of the analysis of the social development of primary school children of fathers of different nationalities. 238 primary school children (7–12 years old) and their fathers of the following nationalities – Russian, Ukrainian, Tatar, Armenian, Azerbaijani have been involved in the study. It has been found that the primary school children of Russian and Ukrainian nationalities have a low level of development as subjects of communication and self-consciousness; Tatar nationality – a low level of development as subjects of communication and activity; Armenian and Azerbaijani nationalities – a low level of development as subjects of activity and self-consciousness. The differences in the educational activities of fathers of different nationalities have been determined. The results obtained in the study can be used to develop psychological and pedagogical recommendations for interacting with a family and a child in an educational institution.
