Values and life meaning orientations of future teachers involved in volunteer activities

the article examines the features of life values of student volunteers studying in the direction of "Pedagogical education". The "value vacuum" that developed in our country in the post-perestroika decades led to the problem of professional identification, which was especially acute in the training of teaching staff. In the work, much attention is paid to the life-meaning guidelines of student teachers as one of the most important motivators of their further professional identity and professional development. An attempt was made to compare the life guidelines of student volunteers and students who are not involved in volunteer activities. It is noted that the value-semantic attitude to the future profession of teachers should be formed at the initial stage of their professional development. It is determined that in modern society, volunteer activity plays an important role not only in solving serious problems of the state, but can also be a tool for the personal and professional development of future teachers.
