HUSEYNAGA, Gularə Karimova. On the methods of moral and patriotic education. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.1, pp. 104-109.  Epub Feb 28, 2024. ISSN 2218-3620.

The education in patriotic and moral values is essential for the comprehensive development of individuals and the sustainability of democratic societies. While patriotic education has faced criticism for its potential use as a tool for nationalist propaganda, a contemporary conception aims to promote critical civic awareness that values one's own culture while respecting other traditions in a globalized world. Meanwhile, moral education seeks to shape individuals capable of discerning between right and wrong, guided by justice, and actively contributing to the common good and human rights. In light of this, this research examines the role of Azerbaijan's educational system in shaping the moral and civic values of future generations. The author advocates for patriotic education as a means to instill responsibility not only as citizens of Azerbaijan but also as members of an interconnected global community. The research highlights the need to adopt personalized, interactive, and contextualized teaching methods, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, considering the backgrounds, needs, and specific interests of students for their value development. It is also underscored the fundamental role of teachers in this formative process. However, despite advancements in this field, quality education in patriotism and morality remains a contemporary challenge and is increasingly gaining priority.
