Modernization of spiritual and moral education of future teachers in the context of socio-cultural transformation of Russian society: a study of the views of modern student youth

this article presents the results of an empirical study devoted to the problems of modernization of spiritual and moral education of future teachers in a modern Russian university. The purpose of the study was to determine the perception of student youth of the concepts of "morality", "spirituality", "education", as well as to identify opinions on the problems and prospects for modernization of educational practices in higher education institutions. The methodological basis of the study were surveys, focus groups and content analysis of diary entries of students of pedagogical specialties (using the example of the Zaporizhia region). The results showed that almost all respondents support the idea of updating the forms and content of spiritual and moral education, recognizing the need to adapt educational programs to modern social realities. Based on the research materials, the author outlined recommendations for the introduction of new methods and technologies that take into account the interests and needs of student youth.
