RECEPTION OF VALUES AMONG STUDENTS

In order to develop the higher education system, it is important to know the way in which students embrace values. This study presents a range of results obtained following a scientific research on the manner in which students from the university embrace the instrumental, terminal and religious values as well as the relationship existing among these values. The study was conducted in December 2008 on the basis of a statistical sampling survey among the students of the "Al.I.Cuza” University of Iasi. The research highlighted results that confirm a series of hypotheses that meet the typology of the young generation’s social life in Romania after 1990. This paper also shows several unexpected outcomes that need the attention of the educational system as well as the accomplishment of new scientific research in this field.
