NATIONAL AND REGIONAL COMPONENTS IN THE PATRIOTIC EDUCATION OF PUPILS

Changes that took place in the Russian society life in the 90s of the last century, led to the fact that the civic consciousness, patriotism, patriotic education, and the duty to the homeland began to be ambiguously interpreted, and were devalued to a large extent. The lack of a nationwide idea, in the context of social differentiation of the society, caused an ambiguous hostility of the society to the perception of Motherland. As a result, the education of sense of patriotism reduced to the individual one-time actions at the level of self-activity, which does not have any scientific rationale, and often does not have both reasoning behind and motivation. Thus, the importance of the indicated problem study is determined by the devaluation of the main trends of the pupils’ patriotic education in the modern conditions.
