A Chinese folk tale as a means of forming a value-based attitude towards family in primary school students

The relevance of the study is due to the state policy in the sphere of family protection and preservation of traditional family values, which is implemented in the field of education and upbringing, culture, interethnic and interreligious relations, and international cooperation. The scientific problem is the lack of pedagogical conditions for using Chinese folk tales as a means of fostering a value-based attitude towards family among Russian students. The purpose of the study is to develop pedagogical conditions for using Chinese folk tales as a means of fostering a value-based attitude towards family among primary school students. The study used theoretical (analysis, comparison, and generalization) and empirical (testing and questionnaire) research methods. Statistically significant differences were identified using the nonparametric statistical Mann–Whitney U-test. It has been established that the Chinese folk tale is an effective means of fostering a value-based attitude towards family among primary school students under the following pedagogical conditions: forming a holistic understanding of family as a source of human and societal morality through the study of family values depicted in the Chinese folk tale; stimulating an emotional response to the family relationships depicted in the Chinese folk tale; and engaging students in a comparative analysis of the images of family and family life presented in Chinese and Russian folk tales. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the article's materials in the process of educating primary school students.
