Axiological Approach to the Formation of Professional Values of Future Teachers
Abstract
This article examines the role of the axiological approach in the formation of professional values of future teachers. In modern education, the development of not only professional competence but also moral responsibility and social awareness is considered a priority. Therefore, the study focuses on the concept of “value” from philosophical and pedagogical perspectives and analyzes its significance in teaching practice. The research is based on the works of prominent scholars such as Milton Rokeach and Clyde Kluckhohn, who interpret values as key motivational factors influencing human behavior. The article identifies different levels of professional values, including socio-pedagogical, professional-group, personal, and spiritual-moral values. Special attention is given to the importance of integrating value-oriented education into teacher training programs. The findings suggest that the axiological approach contributes to the development of professional identity, ethical thinking, and a sense of responsibility among future teachers. It also emphasizes that effective education requires the harmonious combination of knowledge, skills, and values. The study concludes that the formation of a stable system of professional values is essential for preparing competent, morally mature, and socially responsible teachers in the context of modern educational reforms.
