THE CONTRIBUTION OF EDUCATION IN THE FORMATION OF VALUES AND VALUE ORIENTATION

Abstract

The education is always conditioned by the social circumstances. Its main task is to train young people for life in a particular society in order to adapt to social conditions and to accept and respect the established values, conduct norms and rules. In terms of building a new society based on the principles of democracy, there are more and more conditions created for building a new system of values in a new authentic form. The leading concept for a democratic society is the promotion of the humanistic values such as respecting the human rights, the religious, ethnic, racial and cultural tolerance, pluralism, solidarity, collective responsibility, the civic coexistence, freedom and so on. Today we can expect from the education as a whole to be able to develop and establish certain qualities and abilities in the individuals and to simultaneously nurture numerous humanistic values. It requires a systematic and intensive educational work. The systematic approach means overall strategy of pedagogical technology, in which mutually aligned are all elements and strategies that address the meaning, the significance, objectives, tasks, forms, methods, content, programming, monitoring, control, evaluation, evaluation and improvement of the educational work programs.
