Application of axiologically-oriented classes’ system when teaching agricultural students of different cultures by means of social disciplines

Abstract

The value orientations of students are of great scientific interest from the point of view of the formation of the educational process in universities and are an important subject of sociological and pedagogical research. The aim of our research is to work out a program of value-oriented lessons, connecting the social disciplines as well as curatorial lessons with united axiological topics, apply it in classes with students, evaluate its effectiveness and efficiency to increase the level of knowledge, strengthen motivation to study the values of intercultural communication, elevate axiological orientations of intercultural communication of students to the rank of norm. Our validation tools comprise hypothesis, analysis, observation, synthesis, simulation, mathematical data treatment, experimental tests, and diagnosis methods. During the implementation of the program, the personal and social value groups of the students of the experimental group were most influenced. A positive result of working with the professional values of intercultural communication can be considered a change in their numerical indicators of significance. The strategic direction of the formation of a university student is the motivation for purposeful entry into the system of values as universal socio-cultural orientations. The emphasis shifts to changing personal qualities, which eventually enhance the activity of the individual in the socioprofessional sphere.
