Abstract
The paper deals with the issue of developing Ukrainian youth’s national identity in the era of intensive globalization processes. The paper has identified the peculiarity of the youth as a social group whose age is critical for forming personal identity and sensitive for developing their national identity. The three main components of students’ national identity (cognitive, affective and conative) have been described. The authors outline and analyze the main aspects of national identity such as: value orientation (with a set of vital values), moral preferences, tolerance, ideas about factors of life success, academic mobility, etc). It has been highlighted that the formation of students’ national identity at higher schools should be under constant pedagogical influence for its correction and optimization and it can be implemented under such conditions: preparing students for reproducing and representing their culture in professional activities and everyday life; developing their abilities to identify and internalize national values; and putting knowledge, skills and national values into practice.
