THE ROLE OF PATRIOTIC EDUCATION IN THE TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS IN THE FIELD OF THE BASICS OF SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF THE MOTHERLAND

Abstract

In the context of the modern educational paradigm, patriotic education is becoming an integral component of the professional training of future teachers in the field of fundamentals of security and defense of the Fatherland. The work is aimed at developing a system of value orientations in students of pedagogical universities that combines civic responsibility with professional competencies in the field of security. Of particular importance is the integration of a patriotic component into the study of defense and security disciplines, where the emphasis shifts from simple acquisition of knowledge to the development of the personal position of future specialists. During the training process, a set of key competencies is developed, including not only knowledge of the legislative foundations of national defense but also the ability to convey the value of service to the Fatherland, an understanding of geopolitical realities, and developed civic responsibility skills. The key outcome of such training is the development of teachers capable of not only teaching the fundamentals of life safety but also instilling in the younger generation a conscious civic position, a readiness to defend national interests, and a sustainable motivation to serve the Fatherland. This creates the necessary human resources for the education system, ensuring the solution of national security issues through the education of socially responsible citizens.
