| description | Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the theoretical concepts of the paradigm of spiritual growth of an individual through the systematization of the main approaches, conditions, and factors that characterize the process under study.
Methodology. The study used general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, systematization) to study the scientific literature on the issue. We used the content analysis method to define the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the topic. Comparative analysis and structural methods were used to understand the paradigm of spiritual growth of the individual.
Results. The paradigm of spiritual growth of a personality is a holistic system that not only defines the main components of development but also includes principles, stages, mechanisms, factors, and results that ensure its implementation in the process of forming a harmonious, mature, and responsible personality. We have identified that the main determinants of this process are: awareness of one's own spiritual potential, coherence of value orientations with life goals, systematic work with consciousness, and the availability of cultural and value support in the social environment. At the same time, we have developed practical recommendations for the spiritual growth of the individual.
Conclusions. It is proven that modern education is an important tool in stimulating spiritual growth. It should be focused on the formation of critical thinking in young people, the development of moral responsibility, and the support of interest in learning about the world and their own destiny. The problem of theoretical concepts of the paradigm of spiritual growth of the individual requires further thorough theoretical analysis and development of practical models for the formation of spiritual maturity. At the same time, further research on this topic is important for modern society, which is characterized by the search for a balance between technological progress and the preservation of humanistic values. |
