the principle of cultural compatibility; the principle of
interculturality. It is noted that the formation of patriotic
values in the younger generation is one of the tasks of the
modem school. Patriotic upbringing involves all cognitive
abilities of the child through the emotional component –
attitude and reaction, which belong to the emotional and
sensory sphere of the individual. The process of patriotic

conditions is defined as informational and cognitive. The

evaluative. The third group of conditions is characterized
as activity-creative. The fourth group of conditions is
presented as project-prognostic.
