Patriotism as a State Ideology: Pedagogical Aspect

The article philosophically interprets patriotism and examines pedagogical, educational, and methodological aspects of patriotic education in general schools as an important component of the modern educational process. The author gives an explanation, why a teacher, not having a professional right to introduce any political dissociation into children’s environment, nevertheless has a duty to take the responsibility in the purposeful formation of each pupil’s feelings and personal aspirations embodied in the patriotism, a concept of which is historically important for every nation. The author reveals the historical aspiration of teachers to find ways for increasing the effectiveness of the process of purposeful formation of patriotism as a social need, designed to serve the interests of certain social entities, connected by the unity of origin, culture, language and, certainly, realized necessity of self-protection and development. The article argues that the teaching of patriotism as a separate subject will become effective only when the emotional response will be found in a child’s soul. That is the fundamental basis for the pedagogical solution for the problem of patriotic upbringing.
