The processes of information and media system development which are taking place in the modern society attach the special attention to the development of sociocultural space, the use of media resources for cultural enrichment and self-improvement. In this regard, more and more leading educational institutions include the elements of media education in the system of their work for the purpose of developing media competence of the individual, which involves the broadening of the motivational sphere, the development of the skills of making independent decisions, allows to solve the educational tasks more effectively and efficiently. The formation of patriotic and civil qualities is an integral segment of professional training which is realized in the process of using active and interactive methods of working with media products, preparing research papers and projects, etc. The authors analyze the media education segment within the patriotic education and civil formation of modern students.

Introduction
The modernization process that is taking place in the educational system strongly suggests new conditions to the educational institutions of various types, expands the space of interaction between the subjects of the educational and socio-economic space of the region and the country, demands the improvements in its quality in view of the solution of urgent problems of training high-profile university graduates possessing not only general cultural and professional competencies, but also high moral and civic qualities demonstrating community commitment and patriotism. Not incidentally, nowadays the problem of developing the patriotic feelings of the younger generation, including love for one's native country, devotion to the Fatherland, preserving the cultural memory of previous generations, striving to contribute to the development of their country by their deeds and labor is more relevant than ever.
Since the interest in participating in public life encourages the younger generation to independently understand what is happening in the world and to determine their attitude towards it, the development of innovative forms and methods of patriotic education in the setting of higher educational institutions such as the improvement of active, interactive, projective and other educational technologies and the revitalization of cultural component in the system of training future university graduates, deserves the particular attention in the modern socio-cultural context.
Materials and methods
The problem of studying the use of media education technologies in the patriotic education of students in the context of the modernization of pedagogical education is determined by the contradiction that has arisen between the intensive increase in the information flow, the virtualization of the processes in all spheres of modern students' life and the use of potential media education opportunities in the development and formation of patriotic and civic consciousness of the younger generation. The study used a set of methods, including analysis, synthesis, generalization and classification.
Discussion
In Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1493 of December 30, 2015 on the state program "Patriotic Education of Citizens of the Russian Federation for 20162020", patriotic education is positioned as "a systematic and purposeful activity of public authorities, civil society institutions and families in the formation of citizens' high patriotic consciousness, a sense of loyalty to their homeland, readiness to fulfill civil duty and constitutional duties to protect interests in the Motherland "[Decree, 2015, pp.3-4].
The particular importance in this document is given to information support for "patriotic education at the federal, regional and municipal levels, creating conditions for coverage of events and patriotic phenomena for the media which includes: the formation and updating of databases, the analysis of Internet sites and the blogosphere, informational and analytical materials of patriotic orientation; increase of the level of new technologies use and modern approaches to patriotic education in the media; the creation of the conditions for the development of civic activity in the formation of patriotic culture in electronic and print media, the information and telecommunications network Internet; assistance in the development and expansion of patriotic themes of television programs, periodicals, literature; creation of conditions for acquaintance of wide amount of citizens with the contents of works of journalists, writers, scientists and culture in the field of patriotic education, achievements of Russians in the field of science, technology and culture; the creation of conditions for the publication and distribution of literature, the development of electronic and print media, specializing in patriotic subjects; creation of conditions for the support of gaming and media programs that promote patriotic education of citizens, the active use of the information and telecommunication network
"Internet" to work with the youth audience" [Resolution, 2015, p. 10]. We think "the modern education system is characterized by the rapid introduction of various innovative information and communication technologies. In this context, close attention is paid to the creation of the conditions for the functioning of the media environment, the relevance of which is conditioned not only by the requirements of normative legal documents, but also by the requirements of educational organizations, society and the personality of the student, professional and personal development and self-improvement of students" [Albekov, Vovchenko, Goloborodko, 2017].
In the modern scientific literature, the problems of patriotic upbringing and the formation of civic consciousness of the younger generation are considered in the works of I.A. Agapova, N.V. Vorobyeva, A.N. Vyrshchikov, S.V. Kuimova, M.B. Kusmantsev, N.V. Ippolitova, V.E. Levashov, B.T. Likhachev, V.I. Filatov, etc. For example, in the works of N.V. Vorobyeva patriotic education is considered as a necessary condition for the existence of the country and the basis for the strengthening of the state. The sense of personal contribution to the triumph of justice and the improvement of human life, respect for the great achievements and heroic pages of the past, the feeling of one's own influence on the course of history is the basis for educating the patriotism of youth" [Vorobyova, 2016, p.531]. S.V. Kuimova highlights the importance of developing students' patriotic feelings, noting the important role of teachers in this process: "the views, ideologies, attitudes and ideals laid down at the student age will strengthen and help develop the patriotic orientation of the personality of the new creative person, an active participant in social transformations. The problems of patriotic upbringing are important, including pedagogical self-improvement of the teacher; undoubtedly, the method of a teacher's personal example revealing the patriotic attitude towards the Motherland and its values is essential"[Kuimova, 2015].
A.Y. Goloborodko and V.A. Gribanova stress that "the fundamental objective of culture is to make and teach us to be people, to give us knowledge, skills and motives to live in a society and continuously create it; we emphasize that education is the most vital resource of culture, its meaning is not only in transferring of "knowledge-how to", but in creating the conditions for the translation of values about what to strive for" [Goloborodko, Gribanova, 2015, p. 6]. And the development of the socio-cultural space of the younger generation is increasingly associated with the media sphere. Student youth today is "one of the the most active groups of the population using media resources, besides, the younger generation is much faster than older people is mastering all the technical innovations in this area. However, mastery of media technology is only an integral part of the media competence of the individual. In fact, one can hardly call a media-competent person the one who, having mastered the user skills in the media sphere, is incapable of creative mastering of the media space, does not have any interpreting skills, has no knowledge of the theory and history of media culture, etc." [Chelysheva, 2017, p. 123]. In this regard, the inclusion of the media education component in the implementation of educational programs of the undergraduate and graduate programs is an actual vector for the preparation of a modern competitive graduate of a modern university.
Media education aspects in the professional training of students are presented in the works of O.A. Baranov, E.A. Bondarenko, L.S. Zaznobina, E.V. Muriukina, A.V. Fedorov, I.A. Fateeva, I.V. Chelysheva, and others [Chelysheva, 2017; Fedorov, Levitskaya et al, 2017].
In modern studies on media culture and media education, it is noted that one of the promising areas in the development of patriotic feelings of students is the use of mass media, which occupy an increasingly important place in the life of the younger generation. Printed and audiovisual media material of a patriotic orientation is increasingly being used in the system of education and upbringing of modern schools and universities. Many educational institutions include the elements of media education in their system of work - "a special direction in pedagogy, advocating for the study of mass communication by the younger generation" [Fedorov, 2005].
Numerous scientific studies (E.A. Bondarenko, E.V. Muryukina, A.V. Fedorov, I.A. Fateeva, I.V. Chelysheva, etc.) indicate that the use of the elements of media education in work with the younger generation promotes the broadening of outlook, the acquisition of additional knowledge, the adoption of independent solutions to important life issues, allows to solve the problems with greater efficiency. Watching and discussing the films on patriotic themes, creating websites and highlighting the most significant events in the Internet space are important in the process of patriotic upbringing, the development of patriotic feelings of students in professional educational institutions. Therefore, the formation and development of new vectors of patriotic education by means and media material in the conditions of educational institutions of various types remains an invariably topical problem of the modern scientific community. For example, "the cinematography and media culture in general have the potentials, aimed at developing the sense of patriotism of the audience. These opportunities can be used in the course of media education activities. This goal seems to be relevant both for pedagogical activity and for the development of Russian society as a whole" [Shevchenko, Muriukina, 2011].
D.O. Berezutskaya in her study emphasizes that "in the present situation of the development of Russia (the revival of spirituality, the upbringing of the population, especially the youth, in the spirit of patriotism, love to the Fatherland), the cessation of the propaganda of violence, cruelty, entirely alien way of life is necessary more than ever. The Russians' background is a great intellect and military feat of ancestors, a mighty culture; the Russians never lacked courage and fortitude, the sense of responsibility to the Motherland. Without the rise of civic consciousness, the patriotic potential of the population and Russian statehood, the prospects of the revival of the Fatherland are slim. In the implementation of patriotic upbringing, new conceptual approaches are needed, first of all, the realization of the fact that the formation of patriotism can not occupy a secondary place or be the subject of speculation in the political struggle" [Berezutskaya, 2014]. One of the strategic resources in the process of patriotic upbringing is media education, the use of which can contribute to the formation of positive dynamics of growth of patriotism and internationalism in the country, the provision of favorable conditions for spiritual and cultural growth in the society, the strengthening of the economic stability of the state.
Results
Currently, a unique model of integrating media education into a number of areas of Bachelor's and Master's levels of education has been created at Anton Chekhov Taganrog Institute (branch) of the Rostov State University of Economics: "Organization of work with young people" (Undergraduate and Master programs), "Organization of work with young people in the sphere of culture and mass communications", "Social and cultural activities: social and cultural animation and recreation" and the Master's program "Pedagogy of the socio-cultural activities", Psychological and Pedagogical Education: Bachelor's program "Educational Psychology"; in 2018 Master's program "Media psychology and media education" is planned to be launched. Along with the tasks of professional development and enhancing the media competence, the purposeful formation of patriotic and civil qualities is considered to be an important aspect of students' preparation. Active and interactive methods of working with media products are actively used in this process, research works are being prepared on the problems of history, the theory of media and media culture, cases are being developed, etc.
The basic principle of organizing integrated media education classes of a patriotic orientation is the active use of media education methods and technologies. The creation of media texts (articles, films, photo collages, pages in virtual social networks, etc.), is an important component of the media creation process, serves as a link between the study of theoretical approaches to media education and practical media creation. In the course of their professional
training, future graduates accumulate the necessary research, methodological, practical experience that they can apply in their professional activities, including media education.
The project and research activity of students, aimed at the development of patriotic and civil qualities, includes several main stages:
1. The preparatory stage, which includes the development of a work plan, the definition of the relevance of the project theme, the formulation of the problem, objectives, tasks, and methods that will be used in the development of the project; the study of scientific literature on the chosen problems and the subsequent compilation of a short annotation of the obtained research results, which will be placed in the general provisions and conceptual bases of the project.
2. The experimental-activity stage includes the formulation of a working hypothesis, the development of ways to solve the main tasks of the project on the basis of a detailed study of information sources on the subject of the project; including experimental ones.
3. The analytical stage includes the formulation of the obtained results of the project, the presentation of the project and its evaluation in the course of discussion in the student group [Chelysheva, 2017, p. 126].
The contests of social projects with the use of media material are held within the framework of the organization of educational, research, socio-cultural activities of the students. As an example, there is an annual regional Olympiad for schoolchildren and students "Youth Initiatives", the newly opened student club "Youth. Society. State. " and others.
The practical realization of the competences of students in the field of media education and media competence is carried out by the graduates in educational institutions of all levels, in the activities of public organizations and movements, is included in the activities of media associations, etc.
Conclusions
Thus, the patriotic upbringing and civic development of modern youth, while remaining an invariably topical problem of modern pedagogical science, receives a new content due to the constantly expanding educational, developmental and educational possibilities of media education, the use of innovative approaches to the integration of media pedagogical ideas into forming a competent graduate model of a modern graduate student.
The processes of information and media system development which are taking place in the modern society attach the special attention to the development of sociocultural space, the use of media resources for cultural enrichment and self-improvement. In this regard, more and more leading educational institutions include the elements of media education in the system of their work for the purpose of developing media competence of the individual, which involves the broadening of the motivational sphere, the development of the skills of making independent decisions, allows to solve the educational tasks more effectively and efficiently.
At present, on the basis of Anton Chekhov Taganrog Institute has created a unique model of integration of media education in a number of areas of Bachelor's and Master's levels, including such areas as "Organization of work with youth ","Social and cultural activities", "Psychological and pedagogical education", etc. The formation of patriotic and civil qualities is an integral segment of professional training which is realized in the process of using active and interactive methods of working with media products, preparing research papers and projects, etc.
