Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent families and teachers required students to
have or not the values and to what extent students give priorities to these values. The study group of
the research chosen through random sampling model included 79 teachers, 136 parents of students,
and 149 students from 5
th, 6th
, 7th and 8th grades studying at secondary education schools affiliated to
Aksaray Directorate of National Education. In the research, 57-item Schwartz’ Value Inventory
developed by Schwartz (1992) and adapted into Turkish and studied upon its validity and reliability by
Kuşdil and Kağıtçıbaşı (2000) was used as the data collection tool. For the analysis of the data obtained
from the study group, One-Way Analysis of Variance (One-Way ANOVA) benefited the random
samplings. Consequently, no significant difference was found according to the whole value
expressions in Schwartz’s Value Inventory between the value priorities of teachers and students and
the value priorities the families want a student to have. However, when the items were analyzed one by
one, some significant differences were found between parents, teachers, and students in some value
expressions.
