The education system in modern society is aimed at ensuring the spiritual and moral development of an individualbasing on the formation of the value attitude towards the Motherland. The authors appeal to the theoretical foundations of the formation of the value attitude towards the Motherland in schoolchildren, and consider various approaches of Russian and foreign researchers. At present, the problem of the formation of the value attitude towards the Motherland in schoolchildren is connected with the formation and development of an individual as a highly moral and responsible citizen of the country. It is the younger school age that is favorable for the formation of the value attitude towards the Motherland, which contributes to the acquisition of moral experience, moral knowledge, and the introduction of the child to the values of the society. The results of the formative stage made it possible to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of formative activities in the organization of experimental work.
