Abstract

The relevance of the issue selected is caused by the current society globalization in the economic, sociocultural, educational, information and media spaces, which challenges the humanity to integrate ethnic, national and world culture projections into its culture.

The author focuses on values as the reflection of culture and its artifacts and presents various points of view and the interpretation of essence and content of value orientations. The paper generalizes the factors influencing the selection of strategies of behavior in the conditions of cross-cultural interaction and its efficiency and suggests the definition of the concept of “axiobarrier”. 

The paper considers the values within two cross planes: personal and cultural. It is determined that the values act as the axiom of motivation and implementation of various types of activity as well as reflect general universals. The author established that the values can act simultaneously as the basis, resource, condition and fact of interaction. At the same time, the coexistence of projections of different cultures’ values in the student’s mind causes the obstacles in the selection of strategies of their relevant manifestation within the conditions of cross-cultural interaction. The author notes that the external and internal changes of each interaction party are the result of cross-cultural interaction. To resolve value orientations conflict, a student faces the issue of the selection of various behavior strategies. It is established that the strategies of transformation or compromise promoting the process of personal development and improvement of an individual are considered the most successful behavior strategies within the cross-cultural interaction.      

The author presents briefly the opportunities in the study of the pedagogical aspect of the problem of comparison and interaction of different cultures’ values. The content analysis of literature involves the most respected sources and works of the researchers in the sphere of culturology, axiology and interaction pedagogy performed over the past decade.
