ENThe article presents the importance of education of external culture of behaviour stressing the historical development of pedagogical thought. The alternation of notions of etiquette, forms and functions are reviewed. The main principle of etiquette – to secure every person’s dignity – shows up. This helps to elaborate humanitarian people’s intercommunion. The empirical research leads to the conclusion, that education of etiquette is necessary in modern-day society. 46% of the first course students (411 students participated in the research) state that the skills of culture of behaviour were educated little or even were not educated at school. Even one third of the respondents have pointed out that association at school was not proper, norms of etiquette, moral, and aesthetics were not observed. Only 29,6% of the respondents state, that they have enough etiquette knowledge. Having carried out the survey of schoolchildren’s (648 schoolchildren participated in the survey), it is possible to state that schoolchildren’s of V, VI, and VIII forms (73%) standpoints on culture of behaviour are positive, but knowledge are not sufficient. 70% of schoolchildren maintain being twitted and nicknamed at school. The problem of people’s intercommunion, questions of culture of behaviour, and prevention of conflicts were relevant during all epochs. The importance of these questions has not decreased nowadays therefore purposeful education of culture of behaviour is essential. [From the publication]
