In the process of analysing literary sources, it was determined that, according to researchers, the ethnoeducational competence of a teacher should include: methods of implementing various models of teaching conventional pedagogical literature focused on the characteristics of different typological groups of students, the most typical ways of solving ethnoeducational problems presented in the content of school subjects and their use for the development of schoolchildren, as well as methods of awakening and developing students' cognitive interest in ethnoeducational content. It was determined that some researchers interpret ethnoeducational competence as a set of certain personality qualities with a high level of ethnoeducational preparedness and ability for creative activity, in which the professional and personal qualities of a teacher are maximally manifested.
