NATIONAL AND PATRIOTIC EDUCATION OF STUDENT YOUTH BY MEANS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PRESENT

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the conditions and updated approaches to the implementation of the conceptual provisions of national-patriotic education of youth in the higher education system. It is noted that the issue of development and support of patriotism is inextricably linked with the sense of national identity. At the same time, the modern era with its contradictions and alternatives forms a new, ambiguous, multifaceted patriotism. In the conditions of information culture development, public-humanistic patriotism should stand out, which, combining elements of ethnicity and state, recognizes humanity as the dominant factor. The issue of developing and maintaining patriotism is inextricably linked to a sense of national identity that is facing significant challenges in the face of globalization. At the same time, in today’s difficult and painful situations of challenges and threats, radical changes in politics, economy, and social sphere, the priority of social progress, along with ensuring its sovereignty and territorial integrity, finding ways to integrate into the European and Euro-Atlantic community, is to define a new strategy. Education as a multicomponent and multi-vector system largely shapes the future development of the Ukrainian state. Patriotism as an integrative basis for the revival of the spiritual values of society is a stabilizing factor of national and civic harmony in the independent Ukrainian state. It is established that the challenges of war, the formation of the world, the development of consciousness and national identity of students, and the challenges of globalization require the constant attention of teachers (tutors) in the context of national-patriotic education and the use of adequatepedagogical conditions. It is noted that the relevance of education on patriotism among students is due to the high level of their intellectual potential and significant social activity. The pedagogical conditions of patriotism formation are highlighted, which consist of: the formation of internal motivation of higher education seekers to self-education of national-patriotic values and personality qualities by means of a virtual educational environment; introduction of media education in the educational process of universities as part of continuing education of modern man aimed at forming a network culture of the individual or culture of network communication; expanding tutoring support for students in the field of virtual communication.
