EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES FOR FORMING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ VALUE ATTITUDE TO THEIR COUNTRY ^{[№ 3 ' 2025]}
The appeal to the topic of the homeland as a value is caused by the emphasis of the modern scientific and pedagogical community on the fact that in order to educate a responsible, highly moral person, a citizen, a patriot, a working man who shares universal human values, carefully treats the cultural heritage and traditions of a multinational people, ready for creative activity and protection of the interests of the Fatherland, optimal ways of forming the value attitude of the younger generation to the Fatherland are required. In order to find a solution to this problem, we turned to the use of educational practices among university students. We conducted a theoretical study based on the scientific approaches of domestic educators to the concept of “educational practices”. From the standpoint of modern tasks of Russian society in the field of education, the concept of “educational practices” contains a set of methods, techniques, forms and means aimed at forming a value attitude of a person to civil society, to the state, to himself as a citizen, to his civil rights and responsibilities. This concept is characterized by a focus on achieving strategic educational goals, the presence of objective and subjective prerequisites for interaction, uniqueness, emotional intensity, and short duration. The use of educational practices taking into account the positive pedagogical experience of the past and present contributes to the formation of continuity of universal human values of generations, an active position of a citizen of a democratic society as personal responsibility for the well-being of the Fatherland, and support for the spiritual and moral aspirations of everyone. The educational process is impossible without referring to values, which are a guideline for a person's activities and behavior, provided that he or she has formed a value attitude. Possessing significant potential, educational practices can become an effective tool in shaping the value attitude of university students to the Fatherland, as well as for achieving key tasks that are relevant not only for the field of education, but also for the state and society as a whole. Such educational practices as volunteering, donation, flash mobs, quests, quizzes, etc. serve as vivid evidence of this.

RECONSTRUCTIVE PRACTICES AS A RESOURCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORIENTATION TO THE FATHERLAND AS A VALUE ^{[№ 1 ' 2023]}
The development of modern society is characterized by complex international political instability, crisis phenomena in the socio-economic development of the state, spiritual imbalance in society and insufficient attention of young people to spiritual values. In such a situation, Russia is making every effort to preserve traditional values and historical truth. The most important task of the state and Russian education is to strengthen educational work on the development of orientation to the Fatherland as a value. Today it is important to prevent the loss of interest in the national history, culture and traditions. The Fatherland belongs to the absolute universal values and is one of the main means of educating youth patriotism.
Currently, patriotic education is a priority in the country’s educational policy. It is impossible to build a strong Russia without love for the Fatherland, for native places, for the native language. Without respect for one’s own history, traditions and customs of one’s people, it is impossible to raise decent citizens. One of the modern innovative resources for the development of orientation to the Fatherland as a value is historical reconstruction. Reconstructive practices, as a democratic, creative and interactive form of patriotic education, have very extensive axiological possibilities in pedagogy. “Live” historical authentic representations are aimed at understanding the military episodes of the history of the state, contribute to the education of genuine feelings of patriotism and citizenship, arouse pride in the ancestors, deep respect for the history of the Fatherland.
On the example of historical reconstruction “Afghanistan: 9 years, 1 month and 19 days” actualized the importance of historical reconstruction as an effective way of knowing the past and a resource for the development of orientation to the Fatherland as a value.
