ВЛИЯНИЕ УЧАСТИЯ В ПАТРИОТИЧЕСКИХ ПРОЕКТАХ НА ПРОЦЕСС ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ПАТРИОТИЗМА В МОЛОДЕЖНОЙ СРЕДЕ

Abstract

Recently, more researchers have been talking about the importance of civil-patriotic practices in the formation of patriotism in the youth environment. The article explores the patriotic self-identification of high school students in the Siberian Federal District. The authors analyze the degree of their awareness and the nature of inclusion in the activities of patriotic organizations and projects. The mass survey of high school youth of the Siberian Federal District made it possible to determine the low patriotic identification of schoolchildren, as well as the weak inclusion in patriotic projects implementation. At the same time it was possible to record a tendency that as respondents grow older, the number of identifying themselves as patriots increases. Students have insufficient information about the implementation of patriotic projects. Less than half of them have ever participated in patriotic actions and events. School youth of the Siberian Federal District, like most young people of modern Russia, prefer short-term participation in patriotic events, such as visiting museums and patriotic exhibitions. The trend of increasing schoolchildren’s patriotic self-identification was recorded as the inclusion of patriotic projects increased. Also, among schoolchildren who have identified themselves to varying degrees as patriots, patriotic activity is increasing. Thus, there is a correlation between personal experience and the nature of patriotic identification. Consequently, it is necessary to consolidate the efforts of actors engaged in patriotic education in order to increase the positive experience of youth participation in patriotic projects. A condition that increases the positive perception of this activity may be its compliance with the values of modern youth and the organization of communication within the usual communicative practices for this social group.
