The article addresses developing students’ axiological competence through literature and outlines associated social and educational contradictions. The study emphasizes the need for systematic efforts aimed at fostering recognition of universal human values in contemporary society. The essence of «axiological competence» is analysed, and the author proposes a novel interpretation. Scholarly perspectives on morality and spirituality are examined. The article identifies key approaches and principles for developing students’ axiological competence in high school. Particular attention is given to the teacher’s primary task in supporting students’ spiritual growth, namely, nurturing a morally grounded and comprehensively developed personality. The importance of designing effective learning tasks in Ukrainian literature lessons in order to meet students’ spiritual needs and promote their moral development is highlighted. The pedagogical conditions necessary for successful implementation are described. Based on the Ukrainian literature curriculum for grades 10 and 11, the article proposes an axiological component for selected topics and suggests sample tasks aimed at achieving positive educational outcomes. The specific nature of Ukrainian literature as a form of verbal art and its impact on the reader are discussed. The study argues that creating an appropriate educational environment and applying axiological, activity-based, personality-oriented, and competence-based approaches will contribute to the effective development of students’ axiological competence. The research builds upon and further develops the theoretical and practical ideas of A. L. Sytchenko, V. I. Shuliar, and T. O. Yatsenko.
