An early work by Leon Batista Alberti, Books on the Family, is relevant to the concept of upbringing, the purpose of which is to open up to the child the opportunities that the civil society provides him with. Family values correlate each Personal Action with the actions of the “Other”. The family “We” is transformed into a public “We”. The vice and virtue of an individual, embodied in his concrete actions, create the life of the people. Family values form the needs of the individual, which have a cause and a way of satisfaction only in the material and spiritual community of families. Leon Batista Alberti’s pedagogical work, expanding the space of personal life, finds associations and a response in the works of domestic humanists and teachers. The survey involved 157 people. As a result of statistical processing of the survey data, a hierarchy of students’ family values was obtained. The data obtained make it possible to demonstrate the structural features of the system of humanistic values of future teachers. Some gender differences have been identified. The general tendencies in the hierarchy of family values of students who have undergone active practice in educational institutions are considered.
