Abstract

Nowadays we observe loss of traditionally Russian patriotic consciousness in our society. Patriotism is more increasing to regenerate into nationalism. Indifference, individualism, egoism, cynicism, the disrespectful attitude to the state and social institutes, unmotivated aggression were widely adopted in public consciousness. Such concepts as “a military valor and advantage” grew dull. The relation to the heroic past of the Fatherland became usual. In addition, we observe falling of prestige of Russia in the world; decrease in economic potential, education level; crisis of a moral and psychological condition of society and disturbing tendencies in formation of spirituality of younger generations. Problems of education in general faded into the background and patriotic—in particular. Today changes in military patriotic education are necessary. Based on the new concept it is important to raise a role of education and to create modern educational technologies in training of the teachers capable to bring up true patriots of the Russian state, its brave defenders. This article is devoted to a problem of formation of ideological competence of future teachers to implementation of patriotic education of the younger generation. The main result of the article is the system of preparing of teachers-to-be for the implementation of patriotic education of pupils. Materials of the article can be useful to teachers of schools, teachers of institutions of higher professional education, and for students and graduate students of pedagogical specialties of higher education institutions.
