A systematic approach to the formation of active citizenship in high school students

Abstract

Patriotic education plays a crucial role in shaping civic identity, defining the place, dignity, and value of each individual as a citizen. Patriotism not only inspires acts of heroism and sacrifice but also fosters a high level of civic engagement, promoting honest and dedicated work for the benefit of the nation. This concept encompasses love for one's country, homeland, people, traditions, and language, rooted in an attachment to native soil and community. This study examines the most effective methods for developing active citizenship among high school students, specifically in grades 9, 10, and 11. It analyzes the concept of citizenship and its main components, evaluating how the studied topics and methods influence students' worldviews and future aspirations. The research employs both theoretical and practical approaches, presenting relevant theses on the subject. This work can be valuable for future professionals in the field, young researchers, and undergraduate and graduate university students in related areas. It emphasizes the need for a systematic approach with varied methodologies to delve deeper into the topic, significantly contributing to the quality of research in this domain.
