Abstract

This article presents the results of a comprehensive theoretical and methodological analysis of the axiological foundations of pedagogical activity in educational institutions of Ukraine under wartime conditions. The essence of the axiological approach is considered as a fundamental methodological basis of modern education, and its role in shaping individuals’ value orientations is substantiated.

The study examines the transformation of the hierarchy of educational values under crisis conditions caused by war. It identifies key groups of values that acquire priority significance and characterizes their transformation under complex socio-political circumstances. The leading functions of education are outlined as a social institution of spirituality and a specially organized space of meaning-making aimed at fostering patriotism, civic responsibility, and resilience.

The main components of forming a holistic personality are defined, namely: the formation of value consciousness; the development of moral thinking and ethical reflection; integration into the socio-cultural space; ensuring spiritual development and self-realization; and the formation of a responsible attitude toward society and the state.

It is demonstrated that under martial law, education in Ukraine acquires strategic importance and serves as a tool for preserving national identity, developing human potential, and ensuring social unity and cohesion, which constitute essential conditions for the survival, recovery, and further development of the Ukrainian people.
