Abstract: 

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of building a system of personal value and meaning orientations in educational environment of higher education institutions taking into account specifics of professional values. The purpose of the research is to clarify psychological content and peculiarities of implementing narrative technologies aimed at developing personal value-semantic orientations in education.

The authors relied on the method of educational design in developing narrative technologies. The effectiveness of narrative technology in education was evaluated by means of a questionnaire aimed at identifying the level of understanding, internal acceptance and fulfilment of professional values.
Results. The article clarifies psychological contents of narrative methods in developing personal value and meaning orientations and reveals the characteristic features of using narrative technologies in higher education institutions. The authors prove a possibility of increasing the level of understanding, internal acceptance and fulfilment of professional values by means of narrative technologies and characterize such psychological aspects of narrative methods as clarifying personal and professional values and meanings, updating their subjective importance, synchronization of temporary loci of sense, and revealing the character and orientation of time prospects of the personality.
