Study of value-semantic competencies of future teachers

The article is devoted to the problem of actualization of professional training of a student – a future teacher – as a carrier of value-oriented competencies, ready to effectively solve modern tasks of education and socialization of young people. The article presents an analysis of the works of modern Russian authors devoted to the formation and development of the value orientations of students of a pedagogical university as a complex socio-psychological and pedagogical phenomenon, reflecting the direction and content of the individual's personality in general, as well as his relations and activities in the professional sphere. The purpose of the research presented in the article is to analyze and interpret diagnostic data on the value-semantic competencies of students of a pedagogical university. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive diagnostic toolkit was used to study the value-based competence of a future teacher as a complex system of meanings.The study sample consisted of 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students of Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, the Institute of Foreign Languages, the Faculty of Geography, and the Institute of Pedagogy, who were studying in the fields of Pedagogical Education and Psychological and Pedagogical Education. The presented research results demonstrate that the average values of the selected categories of meanings (cognitive, communicative, self-realization, and altruistic) are similar, but the value position of future teachers is insufficiently formed. Based on the data obtained, a number of conclusions have been drawn about the need to update various types and forms of interactive interaction in order to solve the identified problem. This is done by selecting socially significant information that reflects the current values and orientations of Russian society, as well as taking into account the specific values and meanings of the younger generation.
