Policy on fostering patriotism is a top concern for any country; thus, defining effective forms and methods aimed at developing a set of values and cultural principles among younger generations and building respect for their own country is of utmost importance. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a pedagogical model for fostering patriotic culture in primary schoolchildren by developing their value, behavioral, and cognitive-emotional components within the educational process. The study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest research design. One hundred and one primary schoolchildren from a Kazakh-medium school in Aktobe, the Republic of Kazakhstan participated in the study. The Qualimetry of Patriotic Culture Development, containing 12 items, included assessing the value component (affection for the Motherland; the need of serving the Motherland; the ability to find actions for the benefit of the Motherland; the understanding of values and importance of actions done for the benefit of the Motherland), the behavioral component (the capacity for acting patriotically both in daily-life and in extreme situations, a steady positive experience; abilities and skills of patriotic behavior; extensive participation in various activities for the benefit of the Motherland; tolerance), and the cognitive and emotional component (the knowledge of the main attributes and essence of patriotism; the capacity for backing up notions with examples from life; the interest in the history and culture of the Motherland; the feeling of love for and pride of the Motherland) before and after the intervention. The experiment results proved the effectiveness of the implemented model in the improvement of primary schoolchildren’s levels of patriotic culture components. Our findings provide teachers and methodologists with evidence for feasible and achievable targeted interventions such as implementing the systematic and purposeful pedagogical activity to foster students’ patriotic culture at school.
