The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the state of military-patriotic education in out-of-school educational institutions of Ukraine in the context of shaping the value orientations of school-age children. The regulatory and legal framework is examined, the current network of out-of-school institutions with a military-patriotic focus is analyzed, and the content, forms, and methods of their activities are characterized. The functioning of out-of-school educational institutions is highlighted through the lens of the socio-pedagogical aspect of their activities, which enables the pedagogization of children’s leisure time and their involvement in organized forms of military-patriotic extracurricular activities. It is demonstrated that participation of schoolchildren in relevant clubs, sections, and groups creates conditions for their effective adaptation to negative external social influences, develops practical skills for counteracting such influences, and encourages engagement in various pedagogically oriented mass events with patriotic content that promote an active civic stance and contribute to the formation of stable patriotic beliefs. It is established that the current state of military-patriotic education in out-of-school educational institutions requires targeted analysis both in terms of the effectiveness of state policy implementation and in the context of its impact on the value sphere of a child’s personality.
Using SWOT analysis, the main trends, opportunities, and threats in the functioning of the military-patriotic education system are identified. Particular attention is paid to the methodological support of out-of-school educational institutions and to effective practices for shaping the value orientations of schoolchildren under conditions of martial law. An analysis of statistical data concerning the gender and age distribution of participants in military-patriotic out-of-school educational institutions is conducted. Possible prospects for the formation of schoolchildren’s value orientations under conditions of martial law are determined.
