THE ARTISTIC CULTURE OF THE REGION AS A POTENTIAL FOR SPIRITUAL AND MORAL GUIDELINES AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE

Abstract

The relevance of the research is based on the need to improve the means and mechanisms of educational work in the field of higher education that contribute to the formation of spiritual and moral guidelines among young people. The technological revolution has created both positive and negative trends, radically changing the system of interpersonal relations and affecting the consciousness and thinking of young people. In the study, the authors raise issues related to the definition of values and value attitudes that are significant for students and form respect for the cultural and historical past of the region: if today’s youth have indicators and criteria for spiritual and moral assessment, can the artistic culture of the region act as an educational regulatory capable of forming spiritual and moral beliefs in the context of ethno-national culture and installations? The purpose of the study is to determine the spiritual and value orientations, attitudes, and meanings of the characteristics of the harmonious development of personality in the system of social relations and how they influence the process of cognition of the world, behavior, actions, deeds, and the system of moral views, beliefs, and worldview. The novelty of the research is based on an attempt to educate young people about spiritual and aesthetic ideals as a conscious system of spiritual and moral values and guidelines, the ability of existing forms of culture to understand and develop ways of development, and trajectories of personal self-improvement. The practical significance of the study lies in determining the psychological and pedagogical factors, means, and conditions for the organization of the educational process, ensuring its implementation, and forming spiritual and moral guidelines for young people. The research allows seeing the existing problems in the formation of spiritual and moral qualities and the prospects for their development. The obtained results reveal the need for the interaction of various public organizations with universities, the development of theoretical and methodological aspects in the education system, and the introduction of special programs in higher education institutions based on strengthening cultural identity by means of the artistic culture of the region.
