The article substantiates the relevance of future teachers’ vocational training majoring in Primary Education and Tutoring for work in an uneducated rural school, where there are great opportunities for individualizing the learning process, creating conditions for the harmonious personal development of younger students. The purpose of the research: the study is aimed at providing scientific substantiation of the relevance of the tutors’ activities and at describing the educational experimental program implemented at the Department of Primary Education of the North-Eastern Federal University concerning primary education and tutoring in the general ungraded and nomadic schools of the North. Research results: teacher training experience was obtained in introducing a new combined profile in the bachelor’s program “Primary Education and Tutoring in the General Ungraded and Nomadic Schools of the North”. The article describes a model for the formation of ethno-educational competence in primary school teachers, ethno-pedagogization of the educational process and the national civic identity as a condition for the successful implementation of the tasks of the new standard for primary school, and deals with the content and stages of the formation of bachelors’ ethno-educational competencies in future primary school teachers as exemplified by Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University.

Social participation means taking a full and active role in school life, being a valued and integral member of the school community. The purpose of this study was to examine pupils’ experiences of social participation and their active roles in Finnish primary schools. The intention was to find out in what ways primary school pupils’ (n = 3,760) personal experiences of pupil–pupil (PP) and pupil–teacher (PT) interaction vary between genders and across age groups in small and large schools. Pupils’ experiences were examined with questions concerning the active participation of the child and the participatory role of the teacher. The results show that pupils’ experiences vary, and there are differences between schools in terms of pupils’ social participation.

There appears to be an urgent need to improve the system of training qualified specialists for small schools who can respond to modern changes in education, meet socio-economic needs of the village, follow the major trends in the development of school theory and practice and creatively implement the acquired professional knowledge and skills under the conditions of small different age groups. The paper aims to determine pedagogical conditions, develop and theoretically justify a methodology for training future primary school teachers to organize collective forms of work in small rural schools and experimentally verify its effectiveness. The methodology for training future primary school teachers to organize collective forms of work in small rural schools involves acquiring the content of professional training in a specially modelled pedagogical environment by students during the whole period of university study. The following empirical methods were used: observations, surveys, expert assessment, an analysis of products of students’ creative activity, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics (a chi-square (c2)) statistic). An analysis of the results obtained from the control experiment shows some positive dynamics in the readiness of future primary school teachers for this activity (the percentage of students with a creative-and-interpretive level has increased by 16%, whereas the number of students with a fragmentary-and-formal level has decreased by 17.1%), which proves the effectiveness of the developed methodology. The experimental work has significantly enriched the axiological potential of future teachers from small rural schools and developed their system of psycho-pedagogical knowledge about the organization of collective activities of pupils from different age groups, as well as their skills needed to plan, design and organize inter-age interaction in its various forms and conduct a reflective analysis of their pedagogical activity.

The article discusses professional teaching training for tutoring and primary education at a small-scale rural school, where there are prolific opportunities for individualizing the educational process and creating conditions that foster personal development of primary schoolchildren. Educational quality is indicated by the formation of ethnocultural identity and ethnic self-knowledge; this is the basis for the development of harmonious interethnic relations in multicultural societies. The article presents a model for the development of ethnopedagogical competence in the primary school teacher, the ethnopedagogy of the educational process, and the formation of the pan-Russian civic identity as a condition for the successful implementation of the new primary school standards.
