Abstract
The relevance of this study is determined by the necessity of developing of different types of identity, including national, in modern primary school students, which is impossible without the acceptance of certain values pertinent to a certain people. The purpose of this study is to determine the pedagogical conditions necessary for the development of an axiological system among younger schoolchildren that carries the values of the national environment. During this study, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, incomplete deduction, incomplete statistical observation, conversations and interviews, as well as a descriptive method were used. The conducted research has shown that several diverse factors influence the successful inculcation of national-patriotic values to younger schoolchildren in conditions of widespread digitalisation, and to create the necessary pedagogical conditions for the development of a national-specific axiological system in primary school children, teachers should consider many factors. In particular, it is necessary to pay special attention to the development of teaching staff skills required for the competent application of modern information technologies. Ignoring this aspect of professional development of teaching staff can lead to an aggravation of miscommunication between generations and substantially complicate the inculcation of value orientations to younger generations. The results obtained in this study can be useful in organising educational work with elementary school students. Understanding and considering the specific features of the development of national values in children of primary school age will optimise both the background conditions of the pedagogical environment and conscious educational activities aimed at forming a national-specific value picture of the world in younger schoolchildren.
