Abstract

Research on the moral development of high school students on the verge of adulthood, relevant in the scientific, practical and social aspects. Psychological and pedagogical practice is often not very effective due to the lack of a holistic theoretical understanding of the moral sphere of the individual, the age-specific nature of its development, and the peculiarities of manifestation in this sensitive period – the teenage. Results of this study may be useful for social forecasting of youth work. We studied 100 schoolchildren aged 16-18 years (50 females and 50 males). Based on a systematic approach 44 parameters of the moral development of high school students were studied by 6 methods. The hypotheses about specific structure of the moral sphere and the leading component of the moral development of high school students, differences between students of a gymnasium and a comprehensive school, and presence of typologies of moral development are confirmed. Structure and content of the moral sphere of the high school student’s personality (cognitive, emotional and behavioral) and system-forming cognitive component are revealed. Level of moral development of gymnasium students is significantly higher than in comprehensive schools. Three groups of senior pupils are identified by the level and content of the components of moral development: “Morally formed”, “Morally informed” and “Morally affective”.
