The article presents a theoretical and methodological justification and conceptualization of the Value Intelligence (VI) Model as a complex psycho-pedagogical phenomenon integrating cognitive, emotional, and behavioral mechanisms of self-regulation within a value-based coordinate system. The model was developed within a comprehensive scientific and innovative framework that combines the principles of system organization, hierarchy, emergence, reflexive-adaptive regulation, interdisciplinary integration, and axiological orientation.
It has been found that Value Intelligence functions as an open, dynamic, and emergent system capable of transforming environmental challenges into resources for growth and maturity. For this purpose, the modeling method and theoretical empirical methods were used.
It has been established that the proposed model serves as a theoretical and prognostic construct defining the structural and functional organization of Value Intelligence, its key components, variables, and levels of development. It provides a foundation for further empirical validation, the creation of diagnostic tools for assessing VI, and the design of value-oriented educational programs aimed at fostering moral maturity and humanistic competence in individuals.
