The values ​​and principles of tolerance in the educational process

           

        The phenomenon of tolerant attitudes and correlations determines the quality and state of intercultural dialogue. The problem of tolerance makes it possible to assess the parameters and conditions for the development of global socio-political and cultural experience. Tolerance reflects the characteristics of self-understanding of modern man in the world and society. The phenomenon of tolerance allows us to evaluate the modernization of the education system and its technologies based on the most important socio-axiological criteria and assessments. The problem of tolerance as educational factor reveals actual meaning and role of vale consciousness in the period of globalization, social modernization, in the context of the problems of harmonization of values, ways, strategies ​​and goals of cultural, social, political, ethnic development in the epoch of transformation and new principles of organization of the human community and development of society.

       The phenomenon of tolerance relates to all spheres of human life in contemporary conditions. Tolerance acquires a special meaning as a personal value and strategy of human behavior. Tolerance is becoming the most important universal concept of culture and educational paradigm. The formation of critical thinking and tolerant worldview in a multipolar world is an urgent and demanded socio-cultural problem. The education system plays an important role in the formation of a tolerant worldview and behavior.

        Various factors of educational system are taken into account in the context of the actual problems of tolerant behavior. The process of education has an influence on the formation of a tolerant worldview including impact of media structures and new computer technologies. The problem of tolerance as educational factor acquires special meaning in the era of widespread aggravation of the problems of harmonizing and correlation of the values, motives, interests ​​and goals of cultural, social, political ethnic development in the era of globalization and modernization of contemporary society [1, p. 73]. The principle of tolerance is becoming a new and important principle of the organization of the human community at all levels and in all spheres of human life.

        The tolerance acquires a special meaning as a person's value and strategy of human behavior in modern conditions. Tolerance is becoming the most important l concept and value of culture and educational structures. It is difficult to immediately discover the features of "ethical competence" the direct perception of the norms of tolerant attitude or the appropriate style of tolerant behavior in the educational environment. Tolerance in each particular situation has very definite perspective of embodiment and objectification. The principles of tolerance are embodied in social relationships and civil institutions, in the spiritual and moral experience of communication, positive cultural and value transformation. Values ​​of tolerance identify problem areas of global social existence.

       The implication of the principles and ideas of tolerance and tolerant behavior in public and cultural structures reflects the building of tolerant interaction in society and the educational sphere. It is impossible to imagine tolerance in the form of mastering a certain doctrinal nucleus, direct development of appropriate moral and emotional content, norms or moods, assimilation of behavioral code or social symbols, rigid rules or, conversely, formal or voluntary arrangements in a particular environment or situation.

       Various components, structures and institutions of modern culture influence on the educational environment. The complex system of socio-cultural institutions, the prevailing form of cultural behavior in society and the existing socio-cultural communication influence on the education system. Modern culture brought to the fore the idea of ​​"coexistence, cultivation of life and nature, recognition of the understanding of the alien point of view, dialogue, cooperation, joint action, respect for the individual and individual rights, recognition of the conditioning of life from culture and civilization"[2, p. 13].

       The education system, especially higher education, becomes an intermediary in the production and formation of tolerant behavior and world outlook among young people in modern conditions. The education system is becoming a new way of implementing of intercultural communication. The modern education system itself is formed and develops within the framework of a new type of social and cultural communication.
        The system of higher education is important factor in the formation of a strategy for tolerance, a system of values, norms of behavior, social and cultural priorities. The educational system actively initiates and supports the dialogue of cultures, translates patterns of tolerant behavior with an orientation to the increasingly differentiation of various cultural components. Institutes of education realize their integration into the general cultural space of modern civilization and universal educational space.

        The high potential for implementing the strategy of tolerance in the educational space is provided by the social and humanitarian complex, which can initiate and support the dialogue of cultures. Tolerance is formed in the model of the multicultural, polyethnic educational space. Tolerance in the system of higher education becomes as an element of the modern education paradigm.

         Tolerance is based on the mastering of basic educational competencies in modern conditions. The basis of the new education paradigm is an "innovative" education. The main principle of the organization of the educational system are: the preservation and development of the creative, personal potential of man, the formation of a worldview based on a variety of solutions in the structures of education as well as tolerance to dissent and moral responsibility for their actions.

         The main goal of forming a new model of education is the formation of tolerant behavior and outlook in a multicultural and multiethnic society. The formation of a tolerant consciousness presupposes realization of the totality of personal qualities in the social and cultural context. Tolerant attitudes in the sphere of education presuppose agreement, balance, thoroughness in judgments, attempts to reconcile "polar" points of view. The properties of tolerant behavior and attitudes are presented in the sphere of educational and cognitive activity, in auditor and extracurricular work, as well as in the sphere of interpersonal communication with teachers, fellow students, and administration of the university, group members and other categories of people.

        New educational model, basic foundations (ontologies) were created, educational programs were changed for implementation in the new university environment. The idea of ​​tolerance fills the content of the modern educational process. The principles of tolerance affect the formation of the ability to perceive the multidimensionality and multipolarity of the development of civilization. New educational programs and standards allow balanced approach to alternative solutions and choices and a variety of development processes of local and global situations.   

        New educational process and new educational standards in the modern university are formed through specific educational strategies, technologies, disciplines and values ​​for the entry of the student into a tolerant space. The whole modern education process is refracted through the prism of the paradigm of tolerance. Principles of tolerance in the education system affect the behavioral strategies and communications of students at all levels of the educational process and interactions.
