Abstract: 

Introduction. The article considers the problem of identifying and summarizing the methods aimed at forming students’ values and attitudes to family and marriage and readiness for the future parental role. The purpose of the study is to identify and summarize the means of building students’ values and attitudes to family and marriage, readiness for the future parental role, used by teachers within educational institutions, contributing to the formation of students’ value-based family attitudes.
Materials and Methods. The study follows the axiological approach. The expediency of choosing this approach as the leading one (in conjunction with the anthropological, sociocultural, and systemic approaches) lies in the fact that this approach allows us to identify the dependence of the means of family upbringing on the constitutional values and the purpose of upbringing.
Results. The article proposes a systematization of methods of forming students’ values and attitudes to family and marriage, readiness for the future parental role based on the following grounds: 1) subjects within the curriculum; 2) field of upbringing implemented within the educational institution (modules in the federal curriculum of moral education); 3) resources for supporting the upbringing of students in the socio-cultural and social environment. The author’s definition of the concept of “prosocial education” is presented.
Conclusions. Based on the results obtained, the article provides the systematization of methods of forming students’ values and attitudes towards family and marriage, as well as their readiness for future parental roles. It was revealed that the choice of upbringing means is appropriate if it is consistent with the purpose of moral education, and the effectiveness of using the methods of forming students’ values and attitudes towards family and marriage, as well as their readiness for future parental roles, largely depends on their systemic, comprehensive, and holistic nature.
