Moral development of personality includes the terms «ethics» and «morality» that ensure the person’s compliance with rules, norms and behavior principles existing in society. It is stated that not every moral personality is necessarily spiritual, but every spiritual man is moral. The loss of spirituality as the highest level of reflective ability of person’s consciousness is identical to the loss of humanity The person’s spiritual identity is inwardly motivated; it is connected with moral values, humanity, and views on the environment. Spiritual identity develops and undergoes changes throughout the person’s lifetime under the influence of internal factors (such as natural inclinations, character traits, values and principles) as well as the external ones (such as the family education peculiarities, interaction with adults as role models, community’s spiritual atmosphere, person’s activities and self-realization). The person’s spirituality reflects in their faith in God and the immortality of the human soul, their respect for social norms, their ability to acknowledge their own mistakes, their unselfish willingness to help others, to show charity, gratitude, forgiveness and repentance. The article proves that family and school are two important environments for personality development and moral education; in those environments the learning of ethic norms, the formation of moral feelings and virtues, the development of moral motives and behavioral skills are achieved through purposeful interaction of adult and child. The parents’ spiritual level (since they are the first teachers of the child), contributes to the children’s ability for the development of creativity, gaining their self- dependence and learning of universal spiritual, moral, ethical and aesthetic values. The revival of family’s and nation’s values and traditions, conducting the educational and preventive work among parents, creating conditions during the educational process for spiritual self-development and self-identity, encouraging the children to be involved in teamwork in schools, non-governmental organizations and at homes; all those measures should be taken in order to eliminate many negative phenomena in our society.

Summarizing their scientific potential of the author tries to develop a «panacea» to save the man's own nature, the liberation of his consciousness from excessive «technocratization». Since the technological revolution that took place in European culture during the so-called New Age, human society faced with the responsible historic task - to keep their «humanity» in the technical progress that gained momentum with each passing decade, and at the end of the twentieth century - with each subsequent year. This problem, unfortunately, is not resolved and still not discovered the universal panacea against too technocratical reality. This scientific problem concerned more than one generation of scientists and is becoming increasingly important, even more can be said - needs immediate resolution. To overcome the alienation that is aggravated by excessive technocratization of our world, a person must assign» technique in psychological and social aspects by providing technical environment objects of symbolic value.

Humanity has embraced the idea of any price to gain unlimited power over nature, make it a source of resources. Frank technocratization becoming more threatening rice, becomes a real threat to the spiritual life of mankind and its psychological and even mental health. Technical progress, out-of-control rights and subjected her life itself becomes a cause of alienation individual, causing loss of human relationship not only with the natural world, but even with his inner «I». The trend towards the substitution of true values by artificial ideals constant restless consumption, utilitarian - pragmatic attitude to life scare us a lot. The most effective, in our opinion, mean of individual self-preservation in modern conditions is limited clever use of technology, when a person is its owner, and not regardless slave.

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of education of a planetary personality in the context of the concept of «the New Ukrainian school». The author emphasizes that the contradiction between the World Market, which awaits market personality, the World civil society – citizen of the world, the World Power –politician and the sphere of geoculture – Man of Culture, is removed by the civilization dimension of a new personality, namely – Planetary personality. The article defines changes in the transformation period, to which special attention should be paid: 1) structural-organizational, 2) structural-functional (technological), 3) human resources, 4) support of amateur activities of the student contingent. The author of the article notes that Global Education in the planetary educational space is formed due to maturation and its relatively independent functioning on two horizons, namely: 1) as a social institution and 2) as a social system of education and each of them requires its "own» specific management and performs their comparative analysis. The article focuses on the fact that the head of the educational institution must pay attention to the mechanism of education of students in the context of the global society of knowledge formation, which radically changes the conditions of educational interaction; represents a qualitatively new educational ideal of the future; generates new needs of the student's personality and ways of its self-realization in the conditions of globalization and information revolution. On the basis of the above-mentioned the author comes to the conclusion about the necessity of restructuring professional retraining of heads of educational institutions.

Since the 1970’s western people began to focus more on Self-consciousness, Self-healing forces, consciousness about the secrets of the human body as well as spiritual possibilities and creation of new mental realities. Intercultural encounters formed pluralistic and individualistic societies, who deconstructed parts of their own culture to be filled by “imported” believes and habits from Outside, especially from the East. Artistic practices of other cultures are considered to expand the horizon of Self-experiences, and Scientists are increasingly concerned with various aspects of consciousness research as well as with the measurable perception of vibrations in the brain. Questions arise to what extent intercultural transformation of spiritual consciousness takes place by practicing Indian percussion instruments as an example for spiritual culture exchange. The establishment of divine relations so far relates to the divine origin of Indian music as well as to ancient teacher-pupil traditions including spiritual obligations and development opportunities.

The author of the article characterizes the social dimension of spirituality in pedagogical science through the analysis of the essence of the concepts «truth», «faith» and «love». Particular attention is paid to the study of the history of development of the concept «spirituality». The author emphasizes the importance of the historical method of cognition of the world in the context of consideration of the problem of research, which in the Ukrainian historiosophy is associated with the scientific research of P. Yurkevich, V. Solovyov, M. Berdyaev, B. Kistyakivsky, I. Franko, M. Hrushevsky and others. It is emphasized that in the process of comprehensive study of spirituality of a particular society, two extremes must be avoided: first, psychology (that is, the transformation of psychology into the science of science in relation to sociology, history, ethics, pedagogy, etc.); and secondly, ignoring or underestimating psychology. The author comes to the conclusion that spiritual development of the person is perceived as socialization of the personality, but to become a person one needs much more. Therefore, the second path is only an overture to the first, which unites us with God, not a naive fulfillment of the rites, but with compassion and good deeds. After all, faith without a deed is dead (James 2:14).

The article presents the reasons for the need for a conscious combination of labor and rest in the life of the personality as a condition of its spiritual security; analyzes the main scientific approaches to the study of labor and rest, presents the main types of rest, the criteria and conditions for the restoration of human forces, reviews the special psycho-physiological states of the human’s organism, analyzes the conditions in which a person receives the greatest benefit from rest; it is determined that only a conscious combination of labor and rest provides the opportunity for spiritual growth and guarantees spiritual security. Also, the specialties of the influence of sleep on health and working capacity are considered. This has been known for a long time, however, the question of the duration of sleep, which is necessary for a person to restore the working capacity of the brain, is also very relevant today. Drowsiness occurs as the nerve cells expend bioenergetic potential in the period of vivacity, which leads to a decrease of the exercitation. Sleep is necessary, first of all, to restore the bioenergetic level of nerve cells, that is, the brain's ability to work. Thus, characterizing the work and rest of the subject, scientists are unanimous in one thing: labor is a human's conscious activity, meant to achieve a certain result; rest brings a person relaxation, associated with the restoration of both physical and mental forces. Rest includes: sleep, game, fun and third states. Only a person at his own discretion, on his own will, can consciously create conditions for rest and build a rich life activity, creating conditions for spiritual safety.

The article concerns the modern electronic media and the threat they pose to the development of personality and spiritual development of the young generation. The essence of the article is the thesis of Giovanni Sartori, which shows the transformation of a contemporary abstract thinking man, subordinate to mass culture, audiovisual, who changes his nature from homo sapiens into homo videns. The ability of abstraction expressed by both the language and the way of thinking is the basis of full and deep communication. It features the symbolic character of man and becomes the basic source of rational human culture. The educational potential for human development towards homo creator is the idea of J. Kozielecki's transgression, and therefore creative, innovative and expansive activities. Thanks to them, it is possible to cross the hitherto human boundaries in terms of material, symbolic and cultural achievements. I give examples of educational activities in the School of Creative Activity, where the ability of the conscious experience of the media space allows a child to develop a critical attitude towards the content they convey. The use of the media in the process of autonomous learning should be based on the ideas of free, free development, embedded in the world of values and culture.

A number of research studies, like P. Heelas and L. Woodhead’s book The Spiritual Revolution: Why Religion Is Giving Way to Spirituality have been advocating the argument that within Australia, the UK, and the USA spirituality has been taking the place of religion, especially within the lives of young people. This claim raises a core conceptual question and two core empirical questions. The conceptual question concerns clarity regarding what is spirituality. The first empirical question concerns mapping the extent to which spirituality is indeed a recognised construct among religiously unaffiliated young people. The second empirical question concerns testing whether spirituality in fact fulfils the same function as religion in the life of young people. The present study explores these three issues, drawing on data provided by 3,860 adolescents (aged 13 to -15 years) drawn from the four nations of the UK who identified themselves as having no religious affiliation. These adolescents completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (abbreviated) together with measures of spirituality and empathy. The data demonstrated a positive correlation between spirituality and empathy after controlling for personality, sex, and age. This finding suggests that in regard to enhancing empathy within the lives of young people, spirituality is fulfilling the same function as religion has traditionally, which has been established by earlier studies.
