The relevance of the study is caused by the need for moral and patriotic education of students, who, in the process of revising the value orientations and ideological foundations characteristic of modern society, at the time of active socialization, experience a certain confusion and spiritual and moral uncertainty.
In the modern world, under the influence of global ideological and cultural transformations, young people, as more amenable to the slogan of “bread and circuses”, are alienated from the traditional values of humanism, patriotism, citizenship, and the history of their people, becoming “Ivans who do not remember their kinship”. In these conditions, the appeal to the heroic pages of their people, acquaintance with the biographies of the participants of the Great Patriotic War-students and teachers of the North Ossetian State University named after K. L. Khetagurov, should be recognized as an effective form of moral and patriotic education of student youth.
The purpose of the work is to substantiate the methods, forms and technologies of spiritual, moral, patriotic and multicultural education of students based on the material of the book by A. A. Magometov “They fought for the Motherland».
The methodological basis of the research consists of the theories and practices of spiritual, moral and patriotic education of students, axiological and activity approaches that consider the dominant values of the individual as the activity basis of its socialization, cultural approach that combines the cultures of different peoples into a single cultural palette, the theory of internal and basic culture of the individual and the concept of the development of multicultural education.
The research methods used are theoretical (study, comparison and analysis), empirical: observation, study of the experience of patriotic education, psychological diagnosis, systematization of the results obtained.
Multicultural Education of Students as an Important Part of Education
