Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical and practical aspects of forming national values in future educators through the integration of folk traditions into a modern digital educational environment. The study provides a detailed analysis of the educational potential of cultural heritage, historical traditions, and ethnocultural experience, which contribute to the development of students’ moral, ethical, civic-patriotic, and cultural orientation. To preserve cultural uniqueness, foster critical thinking, enhance creative abilities, and organize interactive learning practices, effective methods for applying digital technologies, interactive educational platforms, multimedia resources, and educational applications are proposed.

In addition, the article presents the results of a pedagogical experiment demonstrating the high effectiveness of digital educational platforms and innovative projects based on folk traditions in shaping the national values of future educators, strengthening their spiritual and moral development, and enhancing their professional competence. The data obtained during the study allow for the development of methodological principles and practical recommendations for the effective integration of national values into the modern educational system for both educational and upbringing purposes. The approaches proposed in the article are aimed at fostering cultural awareness in future educators, developing responsibility for professional activity, and enhancing their ability to effectively implement educational innovations.
