DEVELOPMENT OF A VALUE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEIR NATIVE LAND IN OLDER PRESCHOOL CHILDREN BY MEANS OF ETHNOCULTURAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The article examines the issue of value attitudes towards their native land in preschool children as the basis of civic consciousness and patriotism. A special emphasis in the work is given to the formation of the moral and patriotic consciousness of children and their acquaintance with the national culture and history of their native land. The authors also considered the work of teachers and psychologists who emphasize the need to form the education of an emotionally positive attitude towards the places where a person was born and lives; development of the ability to see and understand the beauty of the surrounding reality. The value attitude towards the native land is the most important component of the axiological experience of an individual. His attitude to native land is a direct reflection in the person’s consciousness of goals and worldview guidelines. In pedagogical science, the values and value orientations themselves are considered in interconnection as one of the constituents of the spiritual development of a growing person, and also an important component of his behavior, attitude to the world around him. The presented material allows to conclude that the basic stage in the formation of a value attitude towards native land in children should be considered as the accumulation of social experience of life in their city (village, township), the assimilation of the norms of behavior and relationships adopted in it, and introduction to the world of its culture.
