Theoretical and Methodological Foundations of the Formation of Children's Socio-Cultural Values

The article analyses theoretical and methodological approaches to the problem of forming children's socio-cultural values based on the principle of multidisciplinarity, from the point of view of the phenomenology of sociology, philosophy, axiology, cultural studies, pedagogy, axiopedagogy and psychology. The author also analyses scientific approaches to the definition of the term «socio-cultural values» and clarifies the essence of the phenomenon. The essence of the concept of socio-cultural values as the basic life meanings on which a person is based in everyday life, in relation to the surrounding reality and which enshrine specific features of a particular culture and model of social behaviour is substantiated. The methodological basis for the process of forming socio-cultural values in children is a combination of personal and activity, axiological, and participatory approaches. The structure of children's socio-cultural values is defined, their typology, criteria, indicators and levels of development are outlined. According to this, the structure of this phenomenon consists of: socio-cultural macro-values; socio-cultural meso-values; socio-cultural micro-values. The components of socio-cultural values are analysed in terms of the importance of the types of values: linguistic and value component, cognitive component, and pragmatic component.
