The authors define the role and place of patriotic education in modern society, showing its importance in the context of Russian state policy. Particular attention is paid to the extent to which the issue has been studied in the modern scientific and pedagogical community.

The authors define constructivism as a scientific and methodological basis of patriotic education, characterize its specificity and correlate it with a meaningful discourse of patriotism, making a conclusion about the advisability of using constructivist methodology in the process of patriotic education.
