INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR DEVELOPING CADETS’ COGNITIVE ACTIVITY IN PATRIOTIC EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This article examines the problem of insufficient use of modern information technology to improve the effectiveness of educational work aimed at developing patriotic qualities in cadets at maritime universities. The expansion of the digital educational environment at maritime universities, driven by the progressive development of electronic tools for the implementation of information and communication educational technologies, necessitates the development and implementation of innovative approaches to fostering cadets’ sustained interest in patriotic values and active citizenship. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a model for using information technology to develop cadets’ cognitive engagement within the context of patriotic educational activities. The research methodology is based on a personality-development approach, as well as the application of methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis, and modeling. This article presents the results of an analysis of the application of modern technologies and methods for patriotic educational work and a strategy for their use in the university’s educational environment to enhance cadets’ cognitive engagement. These findings will be useful for the administration of maritime universities and will provide indispensable assistance to faculty, cadets, and researchers working in this field.
