Psychological and pedagogical mechanisms of the influence of heroic patriotic songs on the moral sphere of adolescents

Abstract

The author focuses on a rather complex and multifaceted question: how exactly does a heroic-patriotic song affect the moral development of adolescents? The creative legacy of A.V. Alexandrov is taken as the key material. To understand the problem more deeply, Russian and Chinese pedagogical concepts are compared. The paper presents an analysis of five works by the composer, which are considered in comparison with the Chinese «red songs». On this basis, the author formulates and substantiates seven principles necessary for the adaptation of Alexandrov's work to the conditions of modern Chinese primary school. Among them, consideration of the age characteristics of schoolchildren, the priority of cultural confidence, the inevitable linguistic adaptation, ideological filtering, pedagogical expediency, gradualness and variability, as well as the limited amount of material studied are highlighted. The work moves from theory to practice through the proposed three-level integration model, which includes introductory, basic and creative-reflective stages, supplemented by its own diagnostic tools to assess how much musical culture has been formed among students. The logic of the research leads to a reasonable conclusion: if A.V. Alexandrov's songs are methodically and ideologically correctly adapted, they can become an addition to the school repertoire and an effective means of enriching musical education.
