The process of developing the spiritual values of higher education students in institutional settings involves the disclosure of young men and women's own personal characteristics, self-knowledge and self-awareness of the possibilities for a creative life structure. Spiritual values are offered by socially valuable landmarks, relationships with others, moral beliefs, students' ability to organize their own life activities in accordance with accepted norms of behavior. In addition, it can be said that society and the individual are connected by moral qualities that represent spiritual values in an emotionally fixed form. An important condition for the formation of spiritual values of students of higher education institutions is pedagogical support of students in moral self-determination, individual spiritual values. Pedagogical support has value if it is willful, targeted, tactful, competent, dosed, has everyday nature, and most importantly, if it fully works for the perspective and fulfills its educational purpose in all cases. Pedagogical support for the formation of students' spiritual values should be systematic and include the following factors: the need to optimize communication and increase the level of the teacher's personality development; the ability to define an individual communication style; availability of a flexible and creative approach to the problems of educational interaction; the subjects' desire for self-development. In the individual support of students of higher education for the disclosure of their spiritual values, five interrelated stages can be distinguished (diagnostic, exploratory design, active; reflective), each of which ensures the development of various forms, methods, and means of educational activity.
