Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the basic contents of Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology of Patriotism and its Significance in Patriotic Education for Students in the Present Period. Using qualitative research methods, this study focuses on analyzing Ho Chi Minh’s works that discuss patriotism; guiding documents on patriotic education of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and guiding documents of universities in Ho Chi Minh City. The research results show that Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology of Patriotism was formed and developed based on traditional Vietnamese patriotism. It is a noble spiritual product, creating a strong source of encouragement, uniting the people, and fighting for national liberation. As the core force of the cause of building socialism in the future, Vietnamese students are an important factor, deciding the future and destiny of the country. Therefore, cultivating Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism in students is extremely necessary. When understanding and imbued with the spirit of Ho Chi Minh’s patriotism, the student force will practice and contribute to the cause of building and developing the country now and in the future. Research also shows that if Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology on patriotism is closely combined with education on moral values, traditions, and lifestyles of the nation, these are important solutions to promote the role of Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology on patriotism in educating students about patriotism.
