THE CONCEPT OF VALUE-MEANING SELF-REGULATION IN MODERN AXIO-PEDAGOGY

• Владислав Пелех

The article states that value-meaning self-regulation is directly related to the fullness of time. It exists over time as a paradigm of the attitude of individual elements or components of value-meaning self-regulation to the whole, which confirms certain relationships between these processes. Therefore, value-semantic self-regulation should be considered as given life only in a certain ratio of the whole and its elements. In this sense, the phenomenon of value-semantic self-regulation is not only a prerequisite for the development of axiocentrism, but also points to another quite important psychological and pedagogical concept, which is the value-semantic sphere of the individual.

It has been proven that the phenomenon of value-semantic self-regulation in its originality and uniqueness is understood with the help of the following categories in the fields of pedagogy and psychology: meaning, value, a goal, development, ideal sense. A complex category is meaning. It characterizes the relationships of the individual elements of value-meaning self-regulation to the whole, which largely affects the development of the value-meaning sphere of the individual. The disclosure of the category “meaning” in the pedagogical field should be carried out through the concept of: formation (as a general characteristics of the person’s life); significance (certainty of the meaning of individual elements (components of value-semantic self-regulation) for the whole, which are arisen on the basis of the interrelationships of the individual’s activity); value (as axio-possibilities aimed primarily at the future).

The phenomenon of value-meaning self-regulation was analyzed in the paradigm of three basic approaches: axiocentric, existential, and life-creating ones. It was determined that the value-semantic self-regulation is explained as a certain unique phenomenon, which quite clearly marks the approach to understanding the limits in life, it is determined by the limitations of the individual’s existence, the given spatial and temporal perspectives. It has been proven that the development of value-meaning self-regulation is only the beginning of the individual’s personal development, the sphere of his/her personality, the formation of his/her axiopsyche. It is the latter that should be considered as a prospective goal of personality formation, and value-meaning self-regulation is only the initial process of global personal development.
