Abstract

 

This article is devoted to the study of the value orientations of Kazakh students on the basis of the theory and methodology of basic individual values proposed by the professor of Jerusalem University Sh. Schwartz. The object of the study – students of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The purpose of the study: to study the socio-psychological characteristics of the value orientations of Kazakh students.

To achieve the goal, an applied empirical study was conducted using the “Methodology for measur- ing cultural value orientations (SVS – Schwartz Value Survey) using the Google Forms platform. Based on the analysis of the results of the study, it was concluded that value orientations are a complex socio- psychological phenomenon that characterizes the direction and content of an individual’s activity, de- termines a person’s general approach to the world, to others, to himself. In Kazakh students, the formed values fully manifest themselves in the sphere of moral consciousness, moral deeds and personal moral (spiritual) properties, but, nevertheless, there is a conflict between values – ideals and values – priorities. Thus, addressing the phenomenon of value orientations as a special subject of socio-psychological research seems relevant not only in a theoretical, but also in an empirical context. Such an analysis to- day seems to be especially relevant for the further development of Kazakhstani society in the renewing social, political, economic, cultural conditions caused by the transformations that have taken place in the country in recent days.

Key words: students, socio-psychological characteristics, value orientations, Kazakhstani society.
