Abstract

The purpose of the study is to generalize and systematize the existing interdisciplinary data on the formation of patriotic ideas among junior schoolchildren. The essence and structure of patriotic ideas are considered. There are 4 groups in the structure of patriotic ideas: ideas-needs, ideas-values, ideas-attitudes, ideas-actions. A scheme that reveals the content of these groups is proposed. Based on the data of psychological and pedagogical sciences, the necessity of active formation of patriotic ideas in primary school age is substantiated. The indicators of the formation of patriotic ideas of junior schoolchildren are determined. The leading indicators include: the presence of motivation to study the country and the native land; the presence of solid knowledge about the culture and history of the country; the formation of personal values of junior schoolchildren; the knowledge of the rights and duties of a citizen of the Russian Federation, characteristic of junior schoolchildren; active participation in various patriotic events and their organization. The novelty of the research consists in determining the essence and structure of patriotic ideas of junior schoolchildren, in developing indicators of their formation. The proposed structure can be used to create a technology for the formation of patriotic ideas among junior schoolchildren, which reflects its practical significance.
