National image of the world and its role in the formation of art teacher personality

Abstract

This article sheds light on the essence of the concept of “national image of the world”, the main reasons of its deformation in Ukraine and the opportunity to solve this problem by using Ukrainian folklore. Folklore is characterized by a complex artistic and symbolic figurative language, comprehension of which requires activation of a number of psychological functions, including creative imagination, artistic and imaginative thinking, memory. In the works of folklore within centuries has been developed and shaped the system of national values, which is very important for the educational process and which is the basis for the formation of the national image of the world. Full value of the formation of values system, which is the basis of the national image of the world depends on the pedagogical education of prospective teachers of art, on how they know not only the theory but also the methodology of the process.
