Résumé :

This is a qualitative research to fathom the mechanism of patriotism teaching in the schools of Mali. The literature we read through is interested more in the implications of patriotism in ancient Greece and Rome, and the issues of teaching patriotism in a modern world of globalization and in a multiracial nation with a past of manifold tension. In Mali, the lack of patriotism is perceptible in every compartment of public life. Rebellions, embezzlement of public monies and encroaching upon the interests of the country are revealing phenomena that corroborate this assertion. This study investigates what is taught about patriotism in Malian schools, how it is taught and what should be taught. To answer these questions, we adopted a methodology based on searching the literature, interviewing school officials, ancient pupils and students of the past regimes of Mali, and investigating the mechanism of teaching patriotism in Malian schools. This research has found some flaws with the subject, content, method and language of teaching patriotism in these schools. It suggests a tripod dimension for the subject of patriotism, a content based on live case studies and historical facts, and a method of teaching patriotism based on theoretical and practical procedures. Keywords: Civics; Mechanism; Morals; Patriotism; Subject.
