National-patriotic education on the basis of place-based learning

Abstract

The article explores the potential of locally oriented learning for national and patriotic education. Comprehending the foreign experience of locally oriented learning in the aspect of patriotic education has shown that the authors focus on the importance of locally oriented learning for preserving cultural diversity in the era of globalization, involving students in socially important projects, aimed at community development, and the importance of choosing texts for reading from the literature of their native land. The typological features of locally-oriented learning are highlighted, namely: focus on the local context, involvement of students in civic activity by establishing strong ties with the territorial community, practical orientation of learning (work on projects relevant to the community), formation of personal responsibility for the development of their community, native land, and hence the whole country. The forms of locally oriented learning are highlighted, which include project activities, participation in circles, electives, clubs, movements and other associations of interest (creative, local history, volunteer, environmental, etc.), interactive lessons, excursions to the native land, participation in various community events: sports competitions, art festivals, clean-ups, folk festivals, etc. The article emphasizes that the main educational effects of locally oriented education are raising the level of national consciousness, strengthening ties with the native land, forming an active civic position, developing national dignity and respect for the native land - its nature, culture, history and art. We see the prospects for further research in the analysis of the main methods of locally oriented education and the study of the didactic system of locally oriented education of students of basic secondary education
