Pedagogical and Psychological Aspects of Fostering a Spirit of Patriotism Among Students in The Modern Educational Process
Main Article Content
Abstract
In today’s globalized and ideologically dynamic world, cultivating a spirit of patriotism among students has become a central concern of modern education. The challenge is heightened by the pervasive influence of digital media and diminishing emotional ties to national identity, necessitating robust educational strategies. Despite existing efforts, the literature reveals gaps in integrating emotional engagement, modern pedagogical technologies, and school-family cooperation within patriotism-focused educational models. This study aims to explore the pedagogical and psychological foundations for effectively fostering patriotism among students, analyze best practices, and propose holistic solutions for sustainable implementation. Research findings demonstrate that emotionally engaging and interactive educational methods, integration of national values into curricula, and consistent collaboration with families significantly strengthen students’ sense of national pride and civic responsibility. Creative projects, problem-based learning, and social involvement were especially impactful. However, challenges such as outdated teaching methods, formalism in activities, and insufficient student engagement persist. The article introduces a comprehensive framework that combines pedagogical and psychological techniques with modern technologies and national educational reforms like “New Uzbekistan – New Life” to deepen students' internalization of patriotism. Implementing this approach can lead to a more cohesive, identity-aware generation capable of critical thinking and committed to national development. The study emphasizes the need for continuous research, innovative methods, and broad cooperation among educators, families, and policymakers to maintain and enhance patriotic education in the 21st century.
