Summary

The article explores the challenge of forming an intelligent student-reader as a Person of Culture within the modern educational learning environment. The characteristics of an intelligent reader are defined, emphasizing not only competence in literary analysis but also a high level of moral responsibility, critical thinking, and aesthetic taste. The tensions between contemporary educational trends, which focus on functional literacy, and the necessity of shaping a deep cultural worldview in students are analyzed. The key components of the intelligent reader model are identified and structured based on the philosophy of triadicity. The cognitive component includes knowledge, text comprehension, and interpretation. The value-worldview component encompasses awareness of the moral and ethical aspects of literature and national identity. The communicative component involves the ability to engage in dialogue, discuss, and justify personal opinions. The study highlights the critical role of the national-patriotic component in literary education, emphasizing its importance in fostering national identity in the context of globalization and contemporary social challenges. The article outlines methods and tools that contribute to fostering a Person of Culture through literary texts. Future research will establish criteria and indicators to assess the effectiveness of this model in cultivating an intelligent student-reader. The final outcome of implementing this model is the formation of a well-rounded individual — one who exhibits a love for reading, ethical maturity, and the ability to engage in intercultural dialogue. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a three-component model of an intelligent reader that incorporates the national-patriotic aspect and responds to modern educational challenges, including the impact of digital technologies, the COVID-19 pandemic, and war.
