CULTIVATING MILITARY DUTY IN CADETS OF MILITARY UNIVERSITIES: NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES

Abstract

The article is devoted to a systemic analysis of domestic educational practices for developing military duty in cadets of military universities. The study reveals the evolution of the concept of “military duty” from an external norm to a complex, integrative personal quality. Based on an analysis of modern pedagogical models, a classification of research is proposed into three areas: conceptual foundations, implementation methods, and target competencies. Particular attention is paid to adapting the content of military duty to the value orientations of modern youth. The need for a shift from cultivating personal duty to developing cadets’ professional competencies as mentors of subordinates is demonstrated. The results of the study will allow for the modernization of the cadet training system at higher military educational institutions through the introduction of adaptive educational technologies.
