The role of axiological approach in the training of new generation teachers is theoretically substantiated in this article. The axiological approach makes it possible to identify a set of priority values in the education, upbringing and self-development of a person in modern society and to design their reflection in the norms and aims of future teachers in the process of psychological and pedagogical training. Possible ways of implementing an axiological approach in the educational process of higher education institutions are outlined, such as: the identification of value orientations of higher education applicants, with further adjustment regarding ethical positions in psychological and pedagogical activity; informing students of higher education about value orientations and identification of the most important ones in teaching the cycle of psychological and pedagogical disciplines; adaptation of higher education students to the system of professional value orientations through educational, practically-oriented, independent activity and interaction with teachers as carriers of moral principles and others. Thus, 45.83% of respondents found: having ethical knowledge about generally accepted norms and principles of pedagogical morality; mastering the basic requirements of pedagogical ethics; ability to act positively according to moral choice; the need to work independently to improve themselves and improve their moral qualities.

In modern society, there is an active process of the revival of religions, reflected in the formation of the religious consciousness of young people, including students. Youth is included in the religious system under the influence of the family, the media, advertising and the promotion of religious ideas. Faith in God is one of the indicators of the development of religious consciousness among students. In Buryatia, the religious life of society is associated with faiths that historically shape religious consciousness: shamanism, Buddhism, Christianity, accompanied by an increase in the construction of temples, datsans, the opening of shamanistic ritual places of worship, etc. In connection with the increase in the religious activity of society, a sociological study was conducted among students of students studying at the Buryat Institute of Infocommunications, a branch of the Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Informatics. The results of the analysis showed that the majority of students believe in God and have a religious consciousness, while Orthodoxy and Buddhism are dominant in determining the religiosity of respondents. Christianity in the form of Orthodoxy and Catholicism is also represented in the religious consciousness of students. At the same time, Orthodoxy is predominant among students, indicating religious identity in the unification of the peoples of Russia. Belief in Buddhism in religious consciousness is identified with the ethnicity of the Buryats. Shamanism and Buddhism as a belief in deities are separated, along with this they have common ideas in a single substrate of religious consciousness. The process of the revival of Orthodoxy, Buddhism and shamanism continues, students, on the basis of faith in God, identify themselves with religions on ethnic, social, ideological grounds, which in our opinion is associated with the growth of national identity of ethnic groups. Faith has become an indicator of ethnic and national identity, positively influencing religious self-awareness, strengthening the cultural traditional values of our state. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of faith in the religious consciousness of students of the Buryat Institute of Infocommunications to obtain objective results of the development of youth religiosity.

The article considers the factors influencing the change of the value system of society in the process of its development. The author draws a parallel between the traditional and modern systems of values of a separate ethnic group. The Kalmyks are a small ethnic group, but their cultural and spiritual heritage is rich and multifaceted. The customs and traditions of ancestors still influence the mentality, methods of education of the younger generation, moral guidelines of modern Kalmyks. Nevertheless, de-ethnization, which accelerates the unification of culture, the loss of national features of lifestyle, economic activity, language, is becoming increasingly obvious. Kalmyk society has undergone a significant transformation, there is a shift in emphasis in value orientations: from ethical and altruistic to pragmatic. This fact cannot but cause concern for the future of this distinctive ethnic group. The main emphasis in the article is on the fact that many crisis phenomena in the life of modern society are caused, first of all, by the loss of certain moral guidelines, following which a person could avoid irreparable social, political and economic losses.

The change of the demographic behavior of the population is determined by the modernization of the norms and attitudinal-value orientations towards the family, marriage in general and towards the birth in particular. Empirical studies highlight the character of changes in reproductive behavior: decreasing the pressure of social norms of society and increasing the hierarchy of individual values. The research results highlight the attitudinal-value orientations regarding the birth of a child, which is characterized by the domination of modern characteristics. The birth of a child is perceived as a self-fulfillment, bringing the greatest joy in the life of the parents and less as a professional self-realization or economic guarantor of the family. The value of the child remains dominant, attributed by the new generations in modern society, being determined by the individual needs, which fuels the psychological well-being of families / couples. Most of women want a family model with three children if they have all the necessary conditions (about 54.2%), and 43% prefer the family model with two children. For the respondents in the younger age groups (18-19, 2024) the perspective of having two children is more attractive, 49.8% and 54.2%, respectively. Married women want a family model with three children (55.5%), and unmarried women are oriented towards a family model with 2 children (49.6%). For Chisinau, the division between the social norms regarding the number of children it plans is between women who plan two children and a child, which in practice means “at least one child and not more than two”.

One of the traditional religious rituals of the Yao ethnic group is seeking reciprocal favor for the family from the gods (known as “Huan Jia Yuan”). The cultural value system of the Yao community can be seen in this ritual. Based on fieldwork examining Huan Jia Yuan in Huangdong Township, Hezhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, this article analyzes the symbolism of the ritual, as well as the behavior and psychology of the Yao people. It provides a detailed account of the structure and process of the ritual and examines the religious function of Huan Jia Yuan. It demonstrates that Huan Jia Yuan is a ritual by which Yao people communicate and exchange with gods through offerings and sacrifices. In return, the gods promise to eliminate disasters and to use their sacred powers to help those who are experiencing difficulties. In modern society, maintaining cultural inheritance and fostering connections between people are very important. As a result, the ritual has changed in response to the changing life of the community.

Introduction. Now that family values ​​are both the most significant and the most debated ones, the issue of the socio-cultural foundations of the corresponding norms and actions is of particular importance. Based on exploratory research, the article considers the most general nature of the influence of the ethnic factor on family values, statuses, and practices of the Tatars and Russians living in Tatarstan, and identifies the place of the family in the system of their life priorities. Materials and Methods. The study adopted the value-oriented approach and certain provisions of the theory of transformation of a traditional society into a modern one. It was based on the texts of 30 in-depth interviews given by the families of urban and rural Tatars and Russians living in the region. Most of the interviews were conducted in two-generation family homes, which made it possible to create a confidential atmosphere of conversation, and to imagine how the family members really interact, as well as to cover several generations of interviewees thus increasing their number. Results. The performed analysis of the texts has revealed that, while the family tops the hierarchy of values ​​of both Tatars and Russians, there have been differences in the content of family values ​​and in their interrelation with other ones. Among the Tatars, all other value orientations are linked the family, solution of economic problems being an integrating factor, and extended kinship relations being significant. For ethnic Russians, work, self-development, and hobbies have a separate and independent meaning; the family tends to be united by the ideas of friendship and mutual understanding, while close kindred ties are mainly maintained with the nuclear family. Discussion and Conclusion. The study made it possible to draw conclusions and assumptions about the common features and differences in family values ​​and practices of the Tatars and Russians living in Tatarstan, due to the ethno-confessional specifics of cultures and the peculiarities of their social dynamics. Prospects for the study of family priorities are associated with further research into the interaction of the culturally related norms and values of the ethnic communities. This may become a basis for the development of their mutual understanding and cooperation.

Purpose. For identification of ethnocultural features of the modern Khakass family in the Republic of Khakassia we used empirical material, generalized on the basis of interviews and questionnaires. The object of the study is the culture of the ethnic group, the subject of the study is the ethnocultural features of the modern family. The article discusses the main components of the family from the perspective of material and spiritual foundations of the ethnic community. The author pays special attention to the objects belonging to the Khakass family material culture and describes elements that refer to modern processes and activities. The methodological basis of the study includes principles and categories of dialectics, methods of analysis and synthesis, systemic and structural analysis of social systems. The empirical base is the materials obtained by using included observation, in the process of expert interviews and analyzing questionnaires. Results. As a result of our research we conclude that the dynamics of ethnocultural foundation of the Khakass family in the early 21st century, which includes elements of labor culture and daily life, develops intensively in the material culture. The spiritual basis of the ethnic group (its religious platform, traditions and customs, as well as the language) is being somewhat modernized due to new realia but is quite stable and experiences little transformation. Revitalization of cultural symbols is accompanied by decrease in the number of the Khakass language speakers but is also characterized by a desire for establishing a monolithic Khakass ethnic community on the basis of the Sagay-Kachinsky component. The author’s main contribution to the study of the topic is the study of modern cultural foundations of the family in the Khakass ethnic group. The novelty of the study refers to the regional component of the ethnocultural aspect in considering the Khakass family.

In the framework of the existential-narrative approach developed by the authors, the ideas about the family as a special microcultural system are defined. Family microculture is con-sidered as a psychosemantic reality built up during the family formation, reproducing itself in history and generating a figurative and cognitive model of self-perception, behavior and lifespan for each of the family members. This is a form of family subjectivity, which appears as a result of the particular psychological way of life that has developed over the course of cooperative existence of several family generations and provides for intrafamily psychologi-cal similarity. Family microculture transmits an assimilated and concentrated in texts experi-ence to a growing subject. This experience is generally suitable for a number of situations that the family considers significant and that can potentially occur on a person’s life path. The subject interiorizes this experience not so much as a role model and reproduction, but as a general modus, as the logic of behavior, hidden in everyday life and approved by the micro-social environment. The presented analysis of the content of family microculture allows us to understand it as a special precedential psychosemantic reality. Intra-family psychosemantics often appears in the consciousness of a developing person as a “pre-life-experienced” sample, which subsequently determines the choice and perception of other images, units, texts, espe-cially when a person has no individual experience with the realities which they describe. The authors propose a structure and content model of family microculture, in which four clusters are distinguished: “Family rituals and traditions” (contributes to the establishment of basic patterns and models of human interaction with the surrounding reality and corresponds to the behavioral part of the developing “Self-concept”), “Family and genealogical connections” (determines the formation of figurative and cognitive self-representations in the context of other family members existence and the family as a whole, experiences of intrafamily affinity and psychological similarity), “Spatial and material milieu of a family” (identifies relation-ships between family members through artefacts and the organization of home space, builds semantic-symbolic connections of a man and his family genealogy, influencing his emotional sphere and value orientations) and “Family Narratives” (concentrated on the value-semantic and motivational components of the “Self-concept”, facilitating individuation and promoting the subject’s adaptation to reality). Each of the clusters is presented in four dimensions: 1) its specific function in the family microculture; 2) its psychosemantic content; 3) action and/or material “carriers” of this content; 4) “points of application” - socializing potentials that fix certain semantics in the personal autobiographical memory.

The city as a dynamic and multi-layered image of our immersive cultural and social environment, with all the flaws and problems of modern society, has the advantage to form and educate today. It is a truism that the referent environment of friendly circles largely dictates the behavior and tastes of the new generation, and this impact is difficult to be resisted by the family and institutions. And the circle of peers, thanks to its new, readily available technology and communication channels, has expanded monstrously, surpassing all limitations, including geographical and moral ones. The virtual Internet space and the new technologies have completely replaced the real space, schoolyard, street and park bench. Doesn’t the City as a continually growing, living organism reconcile in its dichotomous flesh the contradictions of past and future, of ugly and beautiful, of what we define as a historical and cultural heritage and art and what we condemn as subculture and kitsch?
