should form harmoniously developed specialists with universal culture, capable of self-development of high moral and professional qualities.
Humanitarization is one of the main means of humanization of higher education. It is aimed at the formation of personality through culture, awareness of learners on their national identity. Humanization in the field of higher professional education is in the comprehensive development of the personality of the future specialist through the teaching of humanitarian disciplines, the creation of a multicultural educational environment.[5]
The "Concept of Multicultural Education in the Russian Federation" notes that the main objectives of multicultural education are inseparable from the general strategy of modernization of education in the Russian Federation, based on the principle of balanced of social, ethnic, cultural and national interests of the citizens. In a single multicultural educational space interests of each individual are harmoniously combined with social and public interests.[2] Multicultural education is an important component of modern higher professional education and promotes the assimilation of knowledge about other cultures, traditions, lifestyles, cultural values of the peoples and ethnic groups by the learners, education in the spirit of respect for other cultures and philosophical values of life. [6]
It is necessary to distinguish the following objectives of multicultural education in a technical university:
• formation of positive valuable conscious qualities of the personality of a student in relation to the Russian culture;
• the development of respect for the history and culture of other nations and ethnic groups;
• creation of a multicultural educational environment as the basis for interaction of the personality with elements of other cultures.
In the framework of the realization of the concept of multicultural education is necessary to select the term "multicultural educational environment." We believe that the multicultural educational environment is a part of the educational environment representing the set of conditions that affect the formation of a personality, its readiness for effective inter-ethnic and intercultural interaction, empathy, preservation of national identity and understanding of other cultures and ethnic cultures, tolerance towards the representatives of other cultures and ethnic groups.
In our opinion, the main function of a multiethnic educational environment in a technical university is to provide a tolerant attitude and effective interaction between the subjects of the educational process, subject to create an environment that allows the student to understand the cultural values, norms and behavior patterns of their own and other peoples; create a positive experience of interethnic and intercultural interaction.[1]
Thus, multicultural educational environment, on the one hand, promotes the formation of national identity of the personality, prepares students for understanding other cultures, recognition and acceptance of cultural diversity.
