Estudio de los valores en el alumnado que cursa el grado de maestro en educación primaria en las universidades públicas de Andalucía

Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the values and in which hierarchy they are present in the students who are studying for the degree of teacher in primary education in the public universities of the Autonomous Community of Andalucia, Spain. For this, we have used as a collection instrument the Adapted Values Test (TVA adapted) to a sample of 651 students selected through a probabilistic sampling by clusters. The results show a high valuation towards non-material aspects related to affectivity, morality, individuality, and ecology, followed by values related to the body and its care. After these, they listed social, material and aesthetic concepts, leaving at the end values related to intellectual, political and religious issues. This study allows organizing the knowledge about values in young university students, making in this way a better approach to the educational needs about training in values in university careers.
