Understanding traditional Russian values by future teachers

Relevance. The current social situation of society development turns us to traditional Russian values, which play a key role in the formation of future teachers’ critical view of the world and the ability to quickly respond to new challenges. In conditions when moral guidelines become blurred, teachers must have in-depth knowledge of traditional values to form the morality of students. The digital world, for all its undeniable advantages, is also a source of a wealth of information, including information that can distort or degrade traditional values. Future teachers must be prepared to critically analyze information, recognize attempts at manipulation, and instill digital literacy skills in their future students, building on a solid foundation of traditional values.

The purpose of the study: identifying the understanding of future teachers' values in comparison with the list of traditional Russian values.

Research material and methods: theoretical analysis of literature; methods of psychodiagnostics: questionnaires, M. Rokich's value orientation method, PVQ-RR Portrait Value Questionnaire (Russian version – PVQ-R2); methods of mathematical statistics: Mann-Whitney significant difference coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient. The sample of respondents consisted of 103 students aged 18 to 20 who were studying at the Moscow State Pedagogical University in the field of Pedagogical Education.

Results and conclusions. The results obtained indicate that future teachers are dominated by traditional Russian values. Based on a deep understanding of traditional values, they can help students to comprehend their role in society and their responsibility for its further development, inspiring them not only to study the past, but also to actively participate in preserving and enhancing the cultural heritage, which in turn strengthens national identity and civic engagement.

The results of this study can be useful for specialists who are engaged in educational and cultural activities at universities, as well as for developing programs aimed at self-improvement of personal qualities necessary for effective work in a modern school.
