(en) Our represented paper about the reconstruction of higher education in order to train up-to-date professional is slightly different from the common understanding of the phenomenon, which is mentioned, in the national pedagogical theory and practice. To ensure the effectiveness of this essential process it is important to define conceptual principles related to the peculiarities of modern educational space, one of the most important characteristics of which is spirituality of upbringing. For better understanding of the essence of the phenomenon of «upbringing spirituality» we primarily present such benchmarks of the spiritual realm as general spirituality, that is enshrined in the culture and is characteristic of all members of the society, the manifestation of spirituality as an action of a person in the environment that surrounds him or her here and now, as well as personal space of human spirituality. Such markers promote awareness of the human meaning of environment and specify the focus of impact on his / her spirituality. Considered and generalized spiritual environment can be represented as a dynamic process existing, as the current phenomenon: spirituality environment. As to the phenomenon of upbringing spirituality itself, which is the peculiar upbringing, associated with the sphere of education and upbringing environment, there are singled out such phenomena that characterize exactly such an environment. In particular, the general spirituality of upbringing, the manifestation of upbringing spirituality and the space of upbringing spirituality, that also includes the context of the spirituality of upbringing. The notion of the phenomenon of upbringing spirituality is the ratio of freedom of a personality and spirituality of the environment. As to spirituality of the educational activities, which is the further aspect of the concept of spirituality of upbringing, it has been pointed out that upbringing, being inseparable from the surrounding an individual environment, facilitates integration into peculiar environment, the pedagogic reality, bases on spiritual heritage of the nation and reveals possibilities of such experience in the practice of contemporary pedagogical process. The special attention in this article is given to understanding of the specific features of the context characteristics of the investigated phenomenon of spirituality. In the existing, classical system of education and upbringing the notion of spirituality is associated with upbringing spirituality of the younger generation by means of any subject, or through the system of educational activities. Thus, the upbringing spirituality serves as a partial task, not as an overall conceptual problem of upbringing. The mentioned diversities form the basis for understanding and realizing the fact that in a democratic society it is appropriate to frame the process of humanization of pedagogic reality focusing on spirituality of upbringing. Hence, the shift of paradigm of education and humanization (spiritualizing) of environment, is relevant to be represented in the context of the conceptual principles of the phenomenon of spirituality of upbringing.
