Cinema pedagogy as educational content in system of forming the civic identity of youth

this article provides an experimental substantiation of the effectiveness of using cinema pedagogy as educational content for forming the civic identity of youth. Using short feature films produced by the KhSPU film studio as an example, the study analyzes the impact of these films on the cognitive, value-based, emotional, and activity-related components of identity within various pedagogical interaction groups. It was found that the films contribute to increased awareness, development of empathy, critical thinking, and civic engagement. The most effective thematic areas of the films were identified, and a statistically significant increase in the level of civic identity formation was recorded both among future teachers and school students after viewing them. It is shown that the methodology of integrating educational film content into the learning process is a highly effective means of forming the civic identity of youth.
