THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PATRIOTIC EDUCATION OF STUDENTS IN THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL

Abstract

The article outlines the theoretical and methodological aspects of patriotic education of students in the New Ukrainian School (NUS). Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical research, as well as relevant regulatory and legal documents, the authors propose interactive forms and methods for implementing patriotic education in the educational process.

The study presents a theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific research and legal frameworks concerning patriotic education of students in NUS. It highlights essential aspects of patriotic education among young people, identifying educational activities aimed at fostering civic responsibility, a sense of personal dignity, and intrinsic motivation for self-development and self-affirmation. Interactive forms and methods of patriotic education are proposed. For younger students, these include mini-discussions, project-based learning, acts of compassion, game-based approaches, and creative tasks. For senior students, methods include participation in flash mobs, social campaigns, competitions, the use of modern communication tools and digital technologies, democratic dialogue, collective creative projects, cinematography, situational role-playing, simulation-based learning, and military-patriotic games.

The analysis of theoretical and methodological studies on patriotic education in the New Ukrainian School demonstrates that achieving the stated objectives requires the application of interactive forms and methods aimed at nurturing national consciousness and love for Ukraine among the younger generation.
