Strategies for the formation of national and cultural identity of junior schoolchildren in the modern globalized world

Abstract

The article explores the urgent problem of forming the national and cultural identity of junior schoolchildren in the context of globalization, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive theoretical and practical approach to this process. The paper considers the importance of education as the main tool for patriotic education and development of children’s national consciousness.
The main purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the components of the national
and cultural identity of primary school children and to identify the pedagogical conditions necessary for the effective formation of this identity in the context of globalization. The study focuses on how globalization processes affect the development of national consciousness of primary school children.
Given the impact of globalization, which is often accompanied by information load and cultural integration, both positive and negative aspects of this influence on the formation of national and cultural identity are identified. It is emphasized that globalization can cause risks of leveling national values, which emphasizes the importance of creating specially designed pedagogical conditions for the support and development of national identity.
Based on the study, practical recommendations for teachers have been developed, including the creation of an educational environment that would integrate national traditions and values in the modern educational process. The recommendations are aimed at forming sustainable patriotism in junior schoolchildren, which is critically important in the modern world.
The study makes a significant contribution to an in-depth understanding of the role of education in the formation of junior schoolchildren’s national and cultural identity. It offers new theoretical approaches and practical tools that can be used to improve pedagogical practices in the context of globalization challenges. The results of the article will contribute to the development of scientific knowledge and improvement of the methodology of patriotic education in the educational process.
