The essence and structure of HEI students’ readiness to the spiritual and moral development of junior schoolchildren.

Abstract

The article highlights the essence and
structure of HEI students readiness to the
spiritual and moral development of junior
schoolchildren. It turns out that the key to
our study is the definition of such basic
concepts as “spirituality”, “morality”,
“development”, “self-development”, “selfeducation”.
On the basis of theoretical
analysis, it is emphasized that real
education should be spiritual and moral,
and spiritual and moral development
requires a personality to improve individual
traits and the formation of values. It is
substantiated that the development of
children of elementary school age is
directed not only to the vocational
pedagogical culture and mastery of the
elementary school teacher, but also to the
culture of the family and reference groups
that are members of society. The research
results identify the four components in the
structure of the future teachers’ readiness
to the spiritual and moral development of
junior schoolchildren.
