WORLDVIEW AND POLITICAL TRAINING OF A CITIZEN IN THE PERIOD OF SOCIAL CHANGES

Abstract

Modern civic education of an individual is based on the fundamental humanitarian standards of spiritual, political, legal, and ideological orientation, which have developed throughout the history of the Ukrainian people, their culture, and traditions. The initial ideological and political formation of a citizen begins within the family and takes on systemic forms in educational institutions of various levels. Ideological and political preparation becomes particularly significant during periods of social change, when societal and individual ideals, principles, and norms of life activity undergo transformation. Research methods of the research consist of a systematic and complex approach, on the basis of which the meaningful components of civic education are studied and summarized, as well as the principles of worldview pluralism, the objectivity of the study of the political training of a citizen in the period of social changes are substantiated. The methods of anthropological reduction and anthropological interpretation made it possible to reveal and substantiate the worldview aspect of the process of formation of a Ukrainian citizen. Research results. It is noted that the worldview culture of an individual is formed thanks to the acquisition of worldview knowledge, values, beliefs, ideals, principles, and attitude towards the world. It is emphasized that state institutions, public organizations, pedagogical communities should pay more attention to political education and upbringing of pupils and students in the period of social changes. A young person needs systematic theoretical and applied knowledge about the functioning of the political and legal systems of the country, the regime of power, understanding the role of political parties and civil structures in a democratic country, etc. Discusssion. Humanity is defined as a reference point for the psychological-pedagogical and philosophical training of Ukrainian citizens, and empathy as a guidepost for upbringing and education. Conclusions. Peculiarities of worldview and political training of a citizen (pupil, student) in the period of social changes due to the transformation of social and individual ideals, principles, norms of life are considered. An integral indicator of effective worldview and political formation of a citizen is a high level of political, legal, and spiritual culture. It is noted that the criteria for the formation of worldview, and correspondingly political, legal culture in a modern pupil (student) as an indicator of the development of civic qualities have a cognitive, activity and emotional-volitional character
