THE CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF FORMING SOCIO-CULTURAL IDENTITY OF SCHOOLCHILDREN BY MEANS OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

The article presents conceptual foundations in development of the socio-cultural identity of schoolchildren based on the material of history. The importance of the relevant scientific and pedagogical work is substantiated. The issues of identity formation of the younger generation are revealed taking into account the socio-cultural challenges and threats facing the agents of socialization in general and the school in particular at the present stage. The authors identify the main methodological approaches, as well as the principles of pedagogical influence on schoolchildren, which are most suitable for the formation of their socio-cultural identity. The general provisions, categorical apparatus, core and content-semantic content of the concept are characterized. The classification of methods and means of teaching history, corresponding to the task of forming the socio-cultural identity of schoolchildren, is shown. The boundaries of the concept’s applicability are outlined. Prospects for further research in this direction are outlined.
