Abstract

The aim of the current study was to find out, what the values of Estonian preschool childcare institutions’ principals, teachers, and parents. The Estonian language version of the Portrait Value Questionnaire, developed by S. H. Schwartz, was used as a research method. Altogether 978 respondents from all over Estonia participated in the study, including 163 preschool childcare institutions’ principals, 425 teachers and 390 parents. The values of preschool principals, teachers, and parents were rather similar. In all groups, the highest evaluations were assigned to values related to benevolence (both caring and dependability) and the lowest to power (both dominance and resources). The results indicated that principals, compared to teachers, valued higher dominance and tolerance, while teachers gave higher evaluations to personal security and conforming to rules. Compared to principals and teachers, parents gave significantly higher evaluations to resources. Also, parents valued dominance higher than teachers and hedonism more than principals. © 2015 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.uk

爱沙尼亚学前托儿机构的校长、教师和家长的价值观

本研究的目的是找出爱沙尼亚学前托儿机构的校长、教师和家长的价值观。爱沙尼亚语版本的肖像价值问卷，由S. H. Schwartz开发，被用作研究方法。爱沙尼亚全国共有978名受访者参与了这项研究，其中包括163名学前托儿机构的校长、425名教师和390名家长。幼儿园校长、教师和家长的价值观非常相似。在所有的小组中，最高的评价被分配给与仁慈(包括关心和可靠)有关的价值观，最低的评价被分配给权力(包括统治和资源)。结果表明，校长对支配欲和宽容度的评价高于教师，教师对个人安全感和遵守规则的评价高于教师。家长对资源的评价明显高于校长和教师。此外，家长比老师更看重支配地位，比校长更看重享乐主义。©2015由未来学院出版www.FutureAcademy.org.uk
