HISTORY-LITERARY MUSEUM AS A MEANS OF FORMING THE BASIS OF PATRIOTIC CULTURE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Melnikova Alla A., Nuttunen Elena A.

Abstract. Determining the reasons of relevance of patriotic culture forming in school students, the authors connect it with values transformations as the result of which the search of the consolidating basis acting as the uniting beginning for all generations of Russians becomes significant. Such basis is the patriotic culture. As the intrinsic component of the process of an individual’s self-identification falls on the school period, a more precise planning of this pedagogical impact in which the child is involved at this very time is acute. Historical knowledge acts as a support to form patriotic feelings, however, as not only knowledge of historical dates and events is significant, but also the emotional attitude towards them, such relation is created the most productive not at a school lesson, but in a history-literary museum where emotional and personal perception of historic facts takes center stage.

Abstract. This article provides an analysis of the topics discussed at the International research workshop “Models of reasoning – 10: Logic and Philosophy” and the Competition “Logic. Thinking.
