Abstract

The article considers the complex use of organizational forms appropriate for the formation of value guidelines of future social workers by means of the media. The analysis of modern Ukrainian scientific sources shows that in the professional training of social workers, considerable attention is paid to the use of the media as a tool for the formation of key competencies and value guidelines. The selection of organizational forms using media resources should take into account the principles of target orientation, correspondence to the content of activities, differentiation and personalization, individualization, reflexivity, integration of formal, non-formal and informal education, as well as social relevance and relevance of content. The following organizational forms for shaping the value orientations of future social workers through mass media have been identified: individual forms (focused on learners’ independent cognitive and analytical activities while working with media content), group forms (involving the interaction of a small group of participants in the process of collaborative work with media materials), mass forms (covering a broad audience and providing simultaneous access to media content for a large number of participants), and combined (hybrid) forms, which integrate various methods and channels of influence on the consciousness and value orientations of social workers. This classification of organizational forms into mass, group, individual and hybrid allows you to systematically organize the interaction of future social workers with the media space. This combines different formats of educational influence and creates conditions for the holistic formation of value guidelines in the process of professional training in higher education institutions.
