Ethno-pedagogical conditions for forming a healthy lifestyle in the educational process of younger schoolchildren

Abstract

Insufficient attention is being paid to the potential of applying folk pedagogics and ethnopedagogics in improving society, which is a serious omission that reduces the effectiveness of the formation of a healthy lifestyle for younger students and does not contribute to the continuity of generations in this matter, including preservation of national values and culture. The purpose of the study is to investigate these issues, analyse the works of Kazakh and foreign scientists and formulate proposals for improving the educational process aimed at creating a healthy lifestyle for children in classroom and extracurricular activities. This article investigates the formation of a healthy lifestyle in primary school age. The author of the paper argues that this process should be based on the principles of folk pedagogy and ethno-pedagogy, since it is precisely under the current conditions of globalization and unification of cultures that they can ensure the continuity of generations in the Republic of Kazakhstan in preserving and enhancing national traditions and values of training and education. The author suggests creating a healthy lifestyle for children in classroom and extracurricular activities, attracting prominent Kazakh scientists, writers, poets, local historians, artists to the process, including setting up sightseeing walking tours around Kazakhstan, which will provide younger students with physical activity, necessary knowledge and will facilitate the development of healthy habits associated with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The paper also draws attention to the fact that a personal example of teachers and parents is the best motivation for younger students in the formation of their healthy lifestyle.
