DEVELOPING NATIONAL-CIVITAL IDENTITY IS A KEY GOAL OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This study addresses the development of national-civic identity as a core objective of educational activities. It draws on a holistic approach to understanding the educational process developed by the scientific community under the leadership of N. L. Novikova, as well as concepts that reveal the potential of pedagogical intervention in shaping individual identity structures (the works of M. V. Voropaev and M. V. Shakurova). This methodological approach allows us to interpret the mechanisms of Russian identity development as a process of interaction, during which the pedagogical approaches of teachers and students are coordinated and mutually enriched. The difficulties that arise during this process are rooted in the multifaceted and cyclical nature of Russian identity as a socio-cultural phenomenon. It simultaneously fosters the development of the inner world of participants in educational interactions and presents the objective challenges of modern educational practice within the emerging educational paradigm, demonstrating its social relevance. The study concludes that, in order to create practice-oriented methodological developments and pedagogical recommendations for the targeted development of national and civic identity, it is necessary to first develop a scientific basis for the design and implementation of such a process. It is necessary to create a clearly defined set of criteria and indicators for assessing the effectiveness of this area of work, incorporating proven assessment tools, methodological support, and reflective analysis of results into practice. In doing so, it is necessary to consider both the objective framework and the potential of the current pedagogical situation and the educational systems operating in schools.
