SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUNGER SCHOOLCHILDREN’S VALUE ORIENTATIONS

Abstract

The article describes results of diagnostics of value orientations of primary school students. The qualitative and quantitative interpretation of the obtained empirical data is presented. The priority of terminal and instrumental values of primary school children is considered. The analysis of the obtained results allows to conclude that the general trend in determining the significance and attitude to life values is communication with friends and other people, as well as material well-being. Values such as health care, safety, and safe behavior are much less expressed. The conducted diagnostic study has a practice-oriented orientation. The presented material can be significant for further consideration of the problem of providing pedagogical conditions, the search for innovative tools and technologies in order to form the value orientations of younger students, contributing to the achievement of personal results and improving the quality of education.
