Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of patriotism based on the unity of its cognitive and emotional components. Therefore, patriotism as a social phenomenon has been characterized. Moreover, patriotism has the essential indicators, which are practically manifested through personality’s behavior, action and communication. The author defines patriotism as an unconditional and highly meaningful feeling-value, which characterizes the person’s attitude towards people, homeland, state and oneself. Unconditional aspect of patriotism means that the feeling of patriotism cannot be founded on external forms of encouragements. The highly semantic aspect of patriotism is not associated with the lower, existential needs, but with the highest life determinants of personality. According to a conceptual definition of patriotism, the author proposes the basic components that serve as diagnostic signals to determine its degree of development in a particular personality. A set of regulations, based on deep psychological mechanism, is practically significant for educators in order to organize the process of developing a feeling of patriotism. As a result, they are very effective in the educational process.

Summary
The problem of patriotism affects the most sensitive sphere of personality. In the last few years, there has been a growing interest of the main part of Ukrainian society in patriotism, which is primarily the result of favorable coincidence of individual psychological, social, and family-related factors. These favorable factors are not enough for a feeling of patriotism. D. Brooks argues that “we are surrounded by culture that teaches us to promote and advertise ourselves, to develop the skills we need to succeed, but it is not sufficiently stimulating spiritual development” (Brooks, 2015). One of the most significant current discussions is to renew education by improving the educational process through formation of patriotism, careful attitude towards national, historical, and cultural values, traditions and achievements of Ukrainians
