Educational process in the Military Academy as a factor in forming the value system of future officers

The subject of this paper is the role of the educational process in the Military Academy as one of the factors in the formation of the value system of future officers from the standpoint of military andragogy and military psychology. This paper aims to determine the value system of the cadets - future officers through the times of the development of the Military Academy as a higher education institution (175 years of the Military Academy) by following the educational processes, methods, and demands, but also the demands of the military organization and profession. In the empirical segment of this paper, a psychological instrument was used - a modified scale for measuring value, which was applied in repeated research. The results of the presented research show that the value systems of cadets throughout time have never been and are not currently isolated from other factors of influence on their formation, such as the social context and primary families in which the cadets live and originate, as well as the peer groups to which they belong, but that the educational process indeed contributes to its construction in the function of the military profession.
