It expresses the methodology of axiological, humanistic-oriented, integrated approaches. The authors presented the results of an ascertaining experiment to substantiate the effectiveness of the developed pedagogical model and the sufficiency of organizational and pedagogical conditions as well. They relied on a theoretical basis in determining the goals and objectives of experimental work, in developing its plan, content, criteria and levels of formation of the creative and constructive mode of civic activity of the younger generation. According to the authors, the pedagogical model of the creative and constructive modus of civic activity of the younger generation is structurally functional. The realization of the content of the creative and constructive component of the mode of civic activity of the younger generation involves the active development of critical thinking of students, the acquisition by students of social cultural experience of confronting social radicalism and intolerance, the formation of practical skills of constructive action skills in potentially unpredictable situations. The creative and constructive component of the mode of civic activity reflects the value (reflexive) and behavioral criteria of its formation. The materials of the article can be useful to teachers, social educators in carrying out educational work with the younger generation on the formation of patriotism, love for their homeland, prevention of radicalism and intolerance.
