The article analyzes the concept of "value orientations", which are viewed as meaning-making attitudes internalized by individuals through the process of socialization. The article explores the specific features of how value orientations develop during adolescence. It is particularly noted that, at this stage of life, peer groups ‒ engaged in shared activities and communication ‒ exert a significant influence on this process.The development of an adolescent's hierarchical value system is examined through key parameters: the degree to which the hierarchical structure of values is formed as a unified whole, the content of value orientations (characterized by a set of specific values included in the structure), and the direction of this structure.The article also addresses the issue of cultural self-identification in the context of value orientation formation, briefly outlining the role of experiential learning in this process. It is noted that cultural identification in adolescence often takes on a transitional, intermediate nature, in which identity is no longer rooted in the immediate environment and begins to seek out new forms.The article explores the educational influence of art on the formation of personal value orientations. It highlights the role of music education—particularly learning to play a musical instrument ‒ in fostering value orientations that help adolescents resist negative influences and favor constructive choices. Finally, the article discusses the main factors to be considered when selecting and implementing methods and tools for supporting adolescents' personal development and the formation of their value systems.
