Development of value orientations of the younger generation: fostering social responsibility, civic identity, and an active life stance

Keywords: values, general education organizations, schoolchildren, teachers, parents

Abstract

An important component of social work and upbringing of the younger generation is the development of a program to foster traditional spiritual and moral values. This objective entails the need to find effective instruments to develop the value orientations of students in educational organizations. The study aimed to identify the social upbringing effects of the development of value orientations in youth, particularly the development of social responsibility, civic identity, and an active life stance. The paper reports the results of theoretical and empirical research conducted in 2025. The study was conducted at the innovative platforms of the Institute for the Study of Childhood, Family, and Education on teachers implementing the Orlyata Rossii program and the parents of participating children. The key research method was a questionnaire survey. The results of the study establish the social upbringing effects of Orlyata Rossii, targeting the development of social activity as a condition for building the value orientations of youth in educational organizations. Certain inconsistencies that reduce the program’s effectiveness in practical implementation were also revealed. Notwithstanding, the developed and tested elements of the program can be integrated into other programs for the social upbringing of youth. These elements can promote the self-knowledge and self-development of children, their experience of participation in the public life of the municipality, region, and country, as well as the development of social responsibility, new social roles, and models of cooperation and the formation of a shared perspective of various life situations.
