Abstract

The research results of modern youth’s values, considering Ukrainian and Belarusian students, as future specialists in pre-school institutions of the countries mentioned, are revealed in the article. These values prove to be important regulators of students’ behavior, self-determination, personal and professional development. Purposeful becoming of preschool age children’s educators seems to be especially up-to date. Students turn to be the role models of norms, rules and ideals for new generations. Well-known Schwartz’s “Value Inventory” technique is used to determine modern students’ values. Firstly, it gives the opportunity to identify values at the level of assurance and the actual behaviour of a personality. The experiment reveals that the values of kindness and following the traditions are of primary importance for all the respondents. Secondly, Ukrainian students seem to appreciate the values of independence, kindness and achievements; Belarusian – agreeableness, tradition and universalism. However, statistically significant differences between the samples are not confirmed. This, indeed, reveals the impact of the respondents’ nature in following similar East Slavic nations’ socio-cultural traditions, principles and norms, territorial proximity of Ukraine and Belarus, their spiritual kinship.
