Information technologies as a means of patriotic education of junior pupils

The study examines the theoretical aspects of the patriotic education of primary schoolchildren in the context of the use of information technologies, defines the meaning and functions of information technologies in the educational process of school education. The patriotic upbringing of primary school students is more than relevant, since the preservation and revival of cultural heritage begins with a small homeland (family, courtyard, school, etc.) and is a key moment in the upbringing of the modern generation. In order to study the level of patriotic education of primary school students, we conducted a survey of schoolchildren, the results of which showed: most of them have a low level of patriotic education, which is due to the lack of due attention of the state as a whole and educational institutions in particular to the issue of patriotic education of schoolchildren. Thus, the problem of patriotic education of primary schoolchildren in the context of digitalization of education has acquired new relevance in connection with new views on the quality of upbringing and education of the younger generation.
