This article addresses the pressing issue of fostering patriotism in the younger generation in the context of supplementary education. The authors examine military paraphernalia not simply as a material object, but as a profound cultural and historical resource with significant educational potential. The work presents the authors' concept, which combines the study of the heroic past of the Fatherland with practical activities in an arts and crafts studio. In the course of the research, a structural and functional model of patriotic education was theoretically substantiated and experimentally tested. The primary focus is on integrating theoretical knowledge about the evolution of military equipment with practical craft skills (chainmail weaving, metalworking). The authors put forward the idea that deep immersion in the historical context through “hands-on work” facilitates the transformation of an unconscious love for the Motherland into a conscious civic stance. The result of this work was the development of a model and a comprehensive program, “Kolchuga”, which have proven effective in fostering strong patriotic beliefs, a valuing of ancestral heritage, and the development of students' creative competencies. The authors conclude that a systematic approach is necessary, combining content-methodological, technological, and environmental conditions to achieve significant educational results.
In the context of a dynamically developing national economy in critical need of engineering personnel with flexible and systemic thinking and a holistic worldview, the competency-based model for training students in technical specialties presented in this article acquires particular significance. This study is aimed at developing a competency-based model for training students in technical specialties, grounded in the resolution of professionally oriented tasks, thereby fostering the requisite key competencies. The research comprises two stages: theoretical and practical. The theoretical stage employed a set of methods aimed at a comprehensive analysis of the problem of professionally oriented training of students in technical universities. In the practical stage, the effectiveness of the developed model was experimentally tested within the educational process of first- and second-year students at the Faculty of Instrumentation Engineering of Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University (2024–2026). The research drew upon competency-based and system-activity approaches. The developed model characterizes the competencies acquired by students (universal, general professional, and professional) in the specialty 11.05.01 Radio-Electronic Systems and Complexes. The results confirmed that laboratory classes in physics contribute to the formation of a wider range of competencies compared to traditional teaching methods.
The aim of this review is to analyze current trends in the development of legal clinics in the Russian Federation (2023–2026), identify key operational challenges, and assess their contribution to the training of future lawyers. The material comprises scholarly publications from 2023–2026, regulatory acts, and analytical reviews on practice-oriented legal education and the system of free legal assistance. The methodological framework is based on systemic and content analysis of scholarly literature, comparison of empirical data, and comparative analysis of pedagogical models. The results indicate the steady institutionalization of clinics, active digitalization, and expansion of specialized areas, while also revealing a lack of uniformity, unstable funding, and a shortage of qualified supervisors. The contribution of clinics to legal training is manifested in the development of practical professional competencies, communicative and legal literacy, ethical responsibility, and the civic stance of students. Based on the analysis, the following recommendations are proposed: integration of legal clinics into the Federal State Educational Standards, development of a unified digital platform, introduction of AI assistants and LegalTech, standardization of supervisors' workloads, an interdisciplinary approach, specialization of clinics, institutional partnerships, and others. The practical significance of the study lies in synthesizing scholarly perspectives and formulating recommendations for universities and educational authorities. The theoretical significance consists in developing the author's comprehensive model for evaluating the performance of legal clinics.
The contemporary socio-cultural and digital environment places heightened demands on processes of self-presentation and social comparison, making the study of bodily identity in adolescence and its personal determinants (trust and alexithymia) essential to understanding the development of a coherent sense of self. The subject of the study is bodily identity as a fundamental level of self-awareness that develops during adolescence. This article presents the results of an empirical study of the age-related psychological characteristics of bodily identity and its personal determinants in adolescent students. In studying the components of bodily identity (gender identity, body satisfaction, bodily representation, psychological defenses, and attitudes toward health), the following methods were used: the “Gender Identity Inventory: (L. B. Shneider), the “Body Image Questionnaire” (O. A. Skugarevsky, S. V. Sivukha), the “Draw-A-Person Test” (K. Makhover), the “Methodology for Diagnosing the Structure and Strength of Psychological Defense Mechanisms” (L. Yu. Subbotina), and the “Health Attitude Index” (S. D. Deryabo). Data processing involved identifying types of bodily identity through K-means cluster analysis; multiple linear regression was used to determine the specific influence of personal determinants. The main finding is a typological model of bodily identity and its personal determinants in adolescence, comprising four types: disintegrated-conflict, compensatory-adaptive, diffuse-undifferentiated, and prematurely formed. Regression analysis showed that the greatest contribution to the model comes from difficulties in identifying feelings and externally oriented thinking, which are universally associated with regression and denial. The conclusion presents recommendations for the psychological and pedagogical support of students, taking into account the typological approach.
This article focuses on the organization of professional training for future primary school teachers to foster a sense of patriotism in young students. The authors explore the pedagogical potential of regionally focused educational content. The article also focuses on the specifics of integrating various approaches to the use of historical, cultural-geographical, and folklore-based content into the professional training of future teachers. Based on a theoretical analysis of the scientific works of domestic and foreign researchers, the authors convincingly revealed the relationship between the development of a sense of patriotism in primary school students and the organization of professional training for future primary school teachers, taking into account the introduction of regional content into the educational process. The authors have developed a theoretical model of professional training of future primary school teachers to develop a sense of patriotism in students based on regional characteristics, which presents the features of integrating the regional component into the educational process of future teachers in order to prepare them to develop a sense of patriotism in primary school students. The article is addressed to the faculty training future teachers, primary school teachers, parents of primary school students, students of pedagogical educational institutions, as well as those interested in the problems of primary general education and the professional training of future specialists.
