Abstract

The paper covers the analysis of the results of sociological research focused on the identification of the actual structure of professional value orientations of the high school teachers. The complex of values regulating the professional activity of a teacher reveals the specific features of the modern education system, reflects the relations between the actors of the educational process, and defines the existing issues in the sphere of the higher education. In this connection, the study of teachers’ value orientations is especially topical at the present stage of social development as it characterizes the processes and phenomena taking place today. Considering the institute of education not only from the point of view of information but the axiological function as well, it is possible to estimate more thoroughly and to reveal more widely the essence of professional activity of a teacher in general and the high school teacher in particular.

At the same time, the analysis of value orientations of modern high school teachers is important in regard to the identification of this social group (or its part) to be the representatives of traditional Russian intellectuals as the bearers of alternative models of the future. In this paper, the author attempts to reveal the degree of impact of the gender, age and professional level factors on the rank distribution of value orientations of the high school teachers. The sociological survey of teachers of the Volga region high schools carried out by the author acts as the experimental research base. The author identified that the value structure of the high school teachers depends to different extents on the gender and age factors, and the age distinctions are more strongly pronounced. The author assumes that the value structure of different generations is influenced not so much by the age factor as by the factors concerned with the features of various historical periods of professional socialization.
