Objective of the study was to test benefits of an interethnic tolerance building model for adolescent sports communities in the national physical education and sports sector.
Methods and structure of the study. Prior to the model piloting experiment, we run a Tolerance Indexing Questionnaire Survey at Sports School in Pyt-Yakh city in Yugra [2] complementary to the regular training process. We sampled for the survey the sporting adolescents (n=40) including 12 Russians, 2 Tatars; 4 Lezgins; 2 Chechens; 2 Ukrainians; 12 Kumyks; 2 Bashkirs; 2 Chuvash; and 2 Moldovans. Prior to the interethnic tolerance model piloting experiment, we analyzed the school service records and interviewed the school teachers, managers and sporting students. Based on the prior data, we split up the sample into ethnically equal Experimental and Reference Groups (EG, RG) of 20 people each including martial artists and futsal players. Both groups were trained in September 2019 to March 2020 as planned by the school management. The group training was complemented by our interethnic tolerance building model on a group-specific basis. The group interethnic tolerance models were the same in the prime mission although somewhat different in the goals and interethnic tolerance tools applied. Thus the discussion “We are children of same mother country” was designed to broaden the knowledgebase of the key issues of ethnic cultures and traditions to develop healthy moral and cultural values, mitigate aggression and scale down the potential ethnic conflicts and frictions.
Results and conclusion. The new interethnic tolerance building model piloted in the adolescent sports community at Pyt-Yakh Sports School in Yugra was tested beneficial as verified by the pre-versus post-experimental questionnaire surveys that found progress in the interethnic tolerance in the RG and the EG.
