Abstract
The article examines the features of civic education in domestic scientific research, taking into account historical and modern approaches to civic education. The relevance of the topic is due to the need to form an active civic position in the context of social transformations and challenges of the twentieth century. The main problems are insufficient integration of civic competencies into the education system, low level of youth involvement in socio-political life and the influence of globalization processes. The purpose of the study is to analyze scientific papers covering the processes of civic education in Ukraine, as well as to identify effective methods that contribute to the formation of a responsible and conscious citizen. The article uses such research methods as content analysis of scientific sources, comparative analysis of domestic and foreign experience. The results of the study showed that effective education of a citizen requires an integrated approach, including educational programs, social interaction, cultural identity and legal consciousness. Particular attention is paid to the role of family, school and public organizations in the formation of civic values. The article examines a model of civic education based on the development of critical thinking, responsibility and active participation in public life. The proposed recommendations for improving civic education include strengthening the interdisciplinary approach, introducing interactive teaching methods and expanding cooperation between educational institutions, government institutions and public organizations. Prospects for further research include an analysis of the impact of digitalization on the civic activity of young people, as well as consideration of innovative methods of educating a citizen in the context of social challenges.
