Currently in educational institutionsan important place is given to how the patriotic education of schoolchildren is conducted. This activity is a targeted system of methods of influencing a person with the aim of forming an active life position of a citizen-patriot of his homeland. Such work should be carried out on the basis of a qualitatively new understanding of upbringing, which takes into account national traditions, national-regional peculiarities and available pedagogical experience.
In schools and other educational institutions programs of electives are introduced, circles whose main purpose is Patriotic education of children.Here, the work of the teacher will be aimed at the development of civic and social responsibility among students. In addition, patriotism is brought up on the basis of materials on local history (the lives of famous countrymen, history and traditions) among schoolchildren.
To grow a citizen of a new generation,tremulously relating to their homeland, it is worth every effort to virtually all teachers of the school. This should be the work of not only the class teacher or teacher, leading an elective in this area, but also other employees involved in the educational process. So, periodically it is recommended to hold events bearing the ideas of citizenship and patriotism. For example, it could be a class hour “Line of Memory” or similar classes. At present, schools should conduct not only education, but also education of schoolchildren.
The works of young authors of patriotic themes canpublished in the school newspaper. It is recommended that children set specific goals for a study of the history of the motherland, including the region in which they live. By doing this work, students not only learn to gather information, but also begin to realize its value, become familiar with many facts that help to be proud of their country, as well as the area where they live.
Some schools open on theirbase clubs for students whose goal is the patriotic education of students. Here, children can study outside school hours in areas such as organizing public events, preserving and replenishing the school’s exhibits and organizing excursions in it. Such work can be carried out both by class teachers and teachers specializing in additional education, according to a separately compiled program. In this case, a close relationship with similar organizations (city museum, council of veterans, etc.) is necessary.
Patriotic education of schoolchildren should besystematic, conducted regularly. For this, such forms as exhibitions of children's works on specific topics related to the Motherland, schoolchildren’s drawings, children's asset sessions, round tables and others are also used.
An integrated approach to this activity is stillOne rather important detail. In the process of upbringing students should be involved all those who are involved in the educational process. These are not only teachers, but also librarians, employees of the school museum, the head teacher on educational work, the counselor, the social teacher, etc. Each of them has their own methods of influencing children, as well as their own forms of work. For example, school librarians can arrange an exhibition of books for students in which publications on a given topic will be selected.
