ISSUES OF PATRIOTIC EDUCATION IN SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL LITERATURE

Abstract. Although the scientific-theoretical and pedagogical literature provides sufficient information about the ideological and aesthetic significance of the “motherland-mother” parallels and the essence of patriotic education, there remains a need for a deeper and broader clarification of the issue. This necessity arises from the socio-scientific and pedagogical demands of the current era. The transition in societal structures has led to different approaches, as seen clearly in the comparison between the Soviet education system and our national education system. The comprehensive development of a person and the acquisition of high moral values occur through three main stages: family, school, and independent life. These stages are closely interconnected, and a failure in one will inevitably affect the others.The emphasis on the concept of "patriotism" is due to the natural bond between a child and mother – just as every citizen should feel connected to their homeland, birthplace, and nation as a whole.

Scientific and pedagogical literature pays significant attention to the essence of patriotism and military-patriotic education, as well as the formulation and resolution of related issues.The scientific-theoretical perspectives of Azerbaijani and foreign educators spark great interest regarding the formation and solution of patriotic education challenges. This article aims to clarify these problems.
