THE CONCEPT OF PATRIOTISM AND ITS ROLE IN CIVIC EDUCATION IN UKRAINE DURING WAR

Natali Ivanec

Abstract


The ongoing war in Ukraine has had a profound effect on the country's political, social, and cultural spheres. Civic education is critical in shaping patriotism and national identity among the young generation, especially in the context of war. This philosophical study aimed to investigate the impact of civic education on patriotism and national identity among students in Ukraine during the war. A qualitative research design was employed, including in-depth interviews with both teachers and students. The results indicated that civic education plays a significant role in students' understanding of patriotism and national identity. Teachers and students reported that civic education helps to cultivate a sense of pride and devotion to the country, and to deepen the understanding of the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. The findings demonstrate that civic education can help students comprehend the complexities of patriotism and national identity in the context of war. This study provides valuable contributions to the literature on patriotism and civic education from a philosophical perspective, and highlights the need for further exploration in this area.

Keywords: Civic Education, Patriotism, National Identity, War in Ukraine, Philosophical Perspective
