THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF PROTECTING GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM ALIEN IDEAS

In the context of globalization and rapid information exchange, general education school students are increasingly exposed to various ideological influences, including alien and destructive ideas that may negatively affect their worldview, moral values, and social behavior. This article aims to explore the theoretical foundations of protecting school students from alien ideas through pedagogical means. The study analyzes philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical approaches to ideological immunity, critical thinking development, and value-oriented education. Using theoretical analysis and synthesis methods, the research identifies key pedagogical conditions necessary for preventing the spread of alien ideas among students. The findings highlight the importance of a holistic educational environment, value-based curricula, and the active role of teachers in fostering students’ ideological resilience. The results of this study may be useful for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers in improving educational strategies aimed at strengthening students’ ideological and moral stability.
