INTEGRATION OF NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES INTO TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE “FUNDAMENTALS OF RUSSIAN STATEHOOD”

Abstract

This article explores key aspects of how national security topics are integrated into the educational process of teaching the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood.” The modern world is characterized by rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics and the growth of complex threats and challenges affecting all areas of society. In these circumstances, and in light of the updated state educational policy, developing a holistic understanding of the fundamentals of Russia’s national security among students is particularly important. The study’s results substantiate and highlight teaching methods and pedagogical approaches aimed at developing a deep understanding of the threats and challenges facing the Russian Federation, as well as mechanisms for neutralizing them. The author substantiates the need for systematically incorporating national security issues into the educational process to develop a holistic understanding of the protection of state sovereignty, the constitutional system, and Russia’s national interests. The methodological approach to this topic, based on contemporary challenges and the state’s strategic goals, contributes to the ideological stability of students and strengthens the country’s long-term security potential. The findings of this study will be useful for instructors interested in improving the effectiveness of teaching this subject.
