| Summary: | We reveal the axiological aspect of the content of cadet education. An empirical study of value orientations content in military education students was conducted with the use of M. Rokeach Value survey. We analyzed the effectiveness of military education in terms of its influence on the formation of students’ values from the perspective of all the participants of the educational process: students (N = 75), teachers (N = 7), and parents (N = 22). The sample of students comprised cadets (N = 44) and students of secondary schools (N = 31) aged 15 to 17 years (25 girls). An expert survey (N = 7) was conducted, relating to the definition of values that are relevant to the content of military education. The results supported the hypothesis that the degree of values acquisition relevant to the content of military education, is higher in the cadets compared to the students of secondary schools. We discuss the causes of these differences. We conclude that teachers play the leading role in the development of the specific valuable orientations content in cadets. These findings can serve as a basis for the design and improvement of the content and forms of military education
