The research relevance can be explained by the fact that ethnic pedagogy with its rich traditions and experience in educating young people should serve as a tool in the context of globalization. Pedagogical science will be effective in addressing the values that lie in oral creativity and within customs and traditions of peoples. The study aims to reveal the mechanisms and tools of ethnic pedagogy in a multicultural educational environment. The leading research method is modeling. This method enables us to consider the development of multicultural education as a process of purposeful and conscious mastery of a certain type of multiethnic culture, the formation of which occurs through interethnic integration, social adaptation of the individual in a multinational society, through the knowledge of the cultural layer of the language reflecting the values. The author's developed model shows the process of formation and improvement of multicultural education in the elements of ethnic pedagogy and methodological provisions of the pedagogical process. The significance of the study lies in the combination of solutions to educational tasks for preservation of human cultural identity, development of tolerant behavior and respect for cultural differences of interethnic integration, development of common and unique traditions, lifestyle, values of nearby peoples.
