Challenges of intercultural education to the understanding of migrant pupils' national identity ; Проблемы межкультурного образования при выявлении национальной идентичности мигрирующих учеников

Abstract

In the course of intense migration, certain social, cultural, political and pedagogical conditions occur that correspond to the need to look in a different way and to analyse the understanding of national identity of migrant pupils. There is a need to analyse what paradigms, methodologies and education met hods are important under such conditions. Referring to the fact that a changing social, cultural, political and science paradigms are full of new migration challenges, it becomes essential to actualize the perception of new socio-educational and cultural phenomena, along with their constant interacting importance. In the context of paradigms' conversion, society changes, the necessity of "new thinking" and knowledge emerges (6, 7, 10). Modern forms of migration, interculturalism, globalization change national politics, society, education system. National identity's issue with hidden and visible discourses is not an exception. The analysis of national identity's construct and its understanding is not a new problem which origins are related to psychoanalysis, but when the issue of identity's change is questioned regarding modern processes it becomes especially important to various spheres. Identity is formed by various social, cultural, political factors, therefore, different types of identity are respectfully distinguished: cultural, national, religious, political, social, etc. In the course of changing society due to modern globalization processes, society's relationship with the past changes as well. This stimulates to reconsider the understanding of national identity. Society's relationship with the past becomes fragmental, inconsequent, grand narratives collapse, as a result national identity gains more shades of subjectivity and changes collective, identified identity's construct .
