Abstract

<p align="center"><i>The article analyzes the impact of integration of Ukrainian citizenship education into the  educational space, which requires a detailed study of social interaction of different countries, the accumulated experience of organizing citizenship education, and the formation of citizenship values of young people. The author points to the need to find ways how to use the experience of foreign countries in the native education system. It is important, according to the author, to study the experience of reforming citizenship education in Europe, where the government's attention to citizenship education is increasing nowadays.<br> Among the factors that influence the result of citizenship education there are: the attitude of the Ukrainian population to the authorities and political parties, corruption, numerous violations of laws and impunity, undemocratic media practices, pessimism of the population, etc., but these factors should not affect the expediency and necessity of citizenship education in educational institutions. The author notices that citizenship education should help to strengthen Ukrainian civic society. Among the disadvantages of secondary education, which negatively affect the formation of a young citizen, the author points out the lack of state regulation of the processes of citizenship education and controversial scientific positions on the history of the country, language, cultural processes in society, ignoring the principles of systematic and continuity in citizenship education, duplication of content lines, etc.The article clarifies that the problem of qualitative formation of high school students’ system of civic values is determined by the insufficient level of interaction between educational process and citizenship education; it is determined that achievement of the optimal ratio of theoretical and practical citizenship preparation of high school students is possible on the basis of a mutually beneficial combination of the process of forming high school students’ system of civic values and teaching subjects of the humanitarian cycle.</i><br> <br>  </p&gt
