State-patriotic education of Law Enforcement Officers and Special services of Russia as an actual Problem in pedagogical Axiology

Abstract

Introduction. The article actualizes the problem of the manifestation of universal, national (all-Russian) state and service-professional values that guarantee responsibility and the development of patriotism in the process of fulfilling multifunctional duties in the life and service of every law enforcement and special services officer of Russia. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the conceptual provisions of the problem of state–patriotic education of law enforcement officers and Special Forces of Russia, to identify key groups of values and value orientations, to highlight the main principles of educational activity, to determine methods and forms of purposeful and systematic educational work. The study was conducted because of the implementation of an axiomatic approach, which serves as a methodological basis for the formation of a national-patriotic worldview of law enforcement and special services of the Russian Federation. Because of the fundamentals of axiological pedagogy, the main conceptual provisions and ideas of state-patriotic education are considered. Effective application of the provisions of pedagogical axiology to state education and patriotic activity requires creative application of the structural components of state patriotism on the part of the leadership and law enforcement officers and Special Forces of Russia: knowledge, motivation, values, positive and behavioral training. The author substantiates a set of values embodying moral and patriotic ideals and serving as standards of decency and patriotism for young people, conditionally classified as fundamental values (Homeland, Fatherland, patriotism, loyalty, culture, language, history, traditions, and faith) and professional values. The mechanisms of implementation of state-patriotic education are considered: goals, categories of social values of employees (including the dominance of patriotism), principles (scientific, humanism, consistency, priority, continuity, integrated approach, positive action, and differentiated approach), and forms, methods (training and education). Conclusion. The stated results of the conducted research are of significant importance for law enforcement agencies and special services within the framework of ongoing organizational and staff reforms.
