Keywords:
Patriotic education; effectiveness; criteria; indicators; civic education; values; student engagement; monitoring; assessment design; school climate; mixed methods.Abstract
This article substantiates a criteria-and-indicators framework for assessing the effectiveness of patriotic education in general secondary schools. The research aim is to design a measurable model (criteria, indicators, and data-collection tools) aligned with national policy documents and international civic education frameworks. Methods include document analysis, structuring outcomes across “knowledge–values–behaviour” components, and designing a mixed assessment approach (tests, questionnaires, observations, portfolios). The main result is an indicator matrix suitable for school-level monitoring and feedback. Conclusions address validity, transparency, and ethical requirements for educational evaluation.
