STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL PEDAGOGICAL MODEL OF FORMING INTERETHNIC HARMONY AND SOLIDARITY COMPETENCE AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

In the modern era of intense globalization, digital transformation, and shifting socio-political paradigms, fostering interethnic harmony, social cohesion, and mutual solidarity among university students has transformed from an auxiliary educational goal into a critical pedagogical necessity. This paper develops and substantiates a comprehensive structural-functional pedagogical model specifically designed to build and evaluate interethnic harmony and solidarity competence within higher education environments. Utilizing a systemic framework, the proposed model synthesizes four interconnected structural blocks operated through vital pedagogical functions. The paper details the specific empirical indicators, modern interactive technologies, and structural interdependencies essential for the operationalization of this model. The ultimate goal is to move beyond superficial tolerance towards a robust, actionable competence that prepares future specialists to actively foster multicultural equilibrium in local and global professional arenas.
