The article is devoted to the consideration of life-sense strategies by means of which a person perceives, cognizes and responds to the world around. A conceptual framework is proposed which incorporates core concepts of humanistic psychology. According to the concepts the authors represent a scheme of a hierarchical sense sphere of a personality. On its base the life-sense strategy of a person is defined as an integrated mental formation, an inside-reduced program of a possible action, determined by content and motivational-dynamic structural elements of the person's sense-value sphere. The revealed significant differences in students’ sense self-regulation are described as utilitarian-pragmatic, communicative, self- actualization, independent judgments, variability life-sense strategies of students of different cognitive orientations. Among these strategies students have different cognitive orientations, essential differences in sense self-regulation that display in emotional, cognitive and behavioural components. Students of one and the same strategy have common stable sense-motive characteristic features which influence their educative successfulness. Some recommendations for organizing the educational process according to the revealed life-sense strategies and the prospects of the future work are provided.
