Directions of formation of humanistic values in higher education institutions: problems and perspectives

Abstract

The article analyzes the directions of the formation of humanistic values in higher education institutions. The results of the study showed that students have a high attitude to humanistic values, regardless of the level of self-affirmation and self-esteem. The main mechanisms of formation of humanistic values in students depend on the provocative features of social values, which occupy a dominant place in the hierarchy of values and professional self-confidence, which reflects the integrated qualities of the individual. It was found that there is a positive correlation between humanistic qualities and personal qualities and academic achievements. There is an important connection between self-awareness, self-esteem, self-assertion, and a social ideal that reflects humanistic qualities in students. It can be concluded that in order to develop humanistic values, it is necessary to develop socially important values and personality traits. Here it is necessary to consider the cognitive needs, opportunities for self-affirmation, as well as learning achievements.
