Integration of national-patriotic education into the system of physical education of youth to strengthen the spiritual and moral foundations of personality

Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of integrating national patriotic education into the system of physical education of young people in order to strengthen the spiritual and moral foundations of personality. Based on a conceptual analysis of the literature and empirical research, key factors and mechanisms ensuring the effectiveness of this process have been identified. The methodological base consists of systematic, axiological and activity-based approaches, as well as a set of sociological methods (questionnaires, interviews, focus groups). The sample consisted of 450 university students of a physical education and sports profile. It has been established that the integration of the national patriotic component into physical education contributes to the formation of a value attitude towards the Motherland, culture, traditions (r=0.78, p<0.01), the development of social activity and civic responsibility (r=0.74, p<0.01). The pedagogical conditions for the implementation of the integrative approach are defined: enriching the educational content with cultural and historical material, organizing socially significant activities, and creating an educational environment. The results obtained open up prospects for designing innovative models of nationally oriented physical education.
