THE FACTOR OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL GOAL- SETTING IN THE EDUCATION OF CADETS AT HIGHER MILITARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The article asserts the strategic role of education in determining the position of the country, society, and the individual in the world. It reveals the essence and content of cadet upbringing within military educational organizations at the current stage of societal development as a comprehensive phenomenon that underpins the country’s national security and the spiritual and moral development of the Russian people. The study foregrounds the anthropological meaning of goal-setting in the culture of cadet upbringing under contemporary social realities. As a dominant factor, the article presents an appeal to the students of higher military schools, who characterized upbringing as one of the most debatable and contradictory categories in pedagogical theory and educational practice. It emphasizes the idea of the infinity, continuity, and incompleteness of the upbringing process for the individual – as a spiritual concentration of an ongoing and manifesting culture of self-upbringing.
