VALUE GUIDELINES OF MODERN EDUCATION IN REALITIES OF NEW TIME

The goal of the article is to determine dominant value guidelines for students and techniques of their forming in the context of new time – the time of modernity, which is currently undergoing a crisis of a human. The cause of the crisis is explained by the technical approach to a human being which contributes to creation of pragmatism ideology, losing the purpose of life, and, as a result, losing the person as a value. Substitutions in education take place more often, for instance: the formal substitutes the meaningful; the essence is substituted for simulacra, and awareness of the facts does not allow discerning the spiritual core of a phenomenon. Exacerbation of the crisis can be traced through the Internet revolution which destroys the hierarchical system of knowledge.

Practical objectives of the work are aimed at development of the following pedagogical conditions for actualization of students’ values orientations in the work with a literary text: creation of their special attitude to the perceived message; emotional experience; sacred immersion; definition of spiritual idea of the text and understanding it as the basis of morality and dignity.

In modern society the irrational aspect of the studied works significantly affects the important aspects in perceiving of the world – moral, aesthetic, value, legal, moral assessment and moral motivation of behaviour. Overcoming the virtual space for the sake of one’s own identity allows the students to differentiate between classical and popular literature.

The scientific novelty of the work lies in the mentioned complex of pedagogical conditions. Pilot training, which has confirmed its high effectiveness, has been organized in lyceum of Khryashchovka village, Stavropol area, Samara region, on the example of the study of the Russian folktales.
