ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: PEDAGOGICAL AND SOCIAL REALITY

Abstract

In the modern realities of a difficult economic and foreign policy situation, the active development of a propaganda movement on the Internet directed against the interests of the state in general and its citizens in particular, the civic and patriotic education of the younger generation plays an important role. The integrity and prosperity of the country depends on the patriotism of the future generation. In practice, disagreements between educational standards and methods of work of teachers in secondary schools and the needs of society for patriotic citizens who are able to solve the most difficult and extraordinary tasks in conditions of severe information pressure from the outside are increasingly manifested. It is obvious that an opinion has been formed in society and among professionals about the need to transform educational standards. The article concludes that when educating a citizen and a patriot, it is necessary to take into account historical experience, but it is not necessary to apply the so-called “Soviet system” completely, without filtering and preliminary analysis. It is important to develop the potential of teachers. Only those ideas that are confirmed by society, have practical significance and historical value will be effectively implemented. It is advisable to use all available components of the educational process that will contribute to the formation of a personality, a citizen and a patriot.
