The article discusses professional teaching training for tutoring and primary education at a small-scale rural school, where there are prolific opportunities for individualizing the educational process and creating conditions that foster personal development of primary schoolchildren. Educational quality is indicated by the formation of ethnocultural identity and ethnic self-knowledge; this is the basis for the development of harmonious interethnic relations in multicultural societies. The article presents a model for the development of ethnopedagogical competence in the primary school teacher, the ethnopedagogy of the educational process, and the formation of the pan-Russian civic identity as a condition for the successful implementation of the new primary school standards.

The study aims to model the process of cadets’ civic identity formation within the framework of the “Foreign Language” student course. The paper considers features of cadets’ self-identification through mastering the processes of their own activities, acquiring social and civic functions in the school environment. The specificity of pedagogical work on pupils’ civic identity formation as an educational result, based, when it comes to a military institution, on creating the “image” of a future member of the military as a citizen and patriot was determined. The author identified and described the structural components of the proposed model, the testing of which is planned to be carried out at the Tyumen Presidential Cadet School in order to improve and adjust it for its further transfer to general practice and adaptation to other types of schools. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the author proposes and substantiates a system of pedagogical mechanisms for cadets’ civic identity formation in the socio-cultural environment of a cadet school within the framework of the “Foreign Language” student course. As a result, the model for cadets’ civic identity formation has been developed, its structure has been described.
