PATRIOTIC EDUCATION IN AN AGRARIAN UNIVERSITY

Abstract

As a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia faced a number of serious economic, political and social problems. Due to a sharp reduction in funding, the state has stopped any participation in the implementation of measures for education, including patriotic education. The first attempts to revive patriotic education began in 2000. At the moment, four state programs of patriotic education have already been implemented in Russia. At the same time, each subsequent program adds something new to the already implemented areas and activities, more relevant and in demand in constantly changing social conditions. At the moment, Russia has launched the implementation of the federal project “Patriotic education of Russian citizens for the period 2021-2024”, which involves the return of educational work to the field of education. The purpose of the research is to generalize the experience of patriotic education in a higher educational institution – the State Agrarian University of the Northern Trans-Urals and to highlight features of its organization, especially in conditions of anti-patriotic attitudes among young people. The university implements various forms of patriotic education of young people. The author pays special attention to the generalization of the contribution to the patriotic education of general education departments. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the interdisciplinary consideration of the issue under study using an activity-based approach. In the classes on history, philosophy, and sociology, special attention is paid to the consideration of issues of historical memory and patriotic education, since the humanities are able not only to objectively illuminate our historical past, but also can form a sense of belonging to the heritage of the people.
