Abstract
Values are primary constructs which affect an individual’s interpretative schema and his or her sense of self, exerting a direct or indirect influence on attitudes, beliefs, feelings, and perceptions of the world. The proliferation of social change brought on by globalization indicates that the study of values is an extremely important area of contemporary investigation. This essay focuses on a discussion of the measurement of values and potential value change which exists within any cultural framework. Values are transmitted from individual to individual, groups to group, and generation to generation. Educators are one of the primary agents of value transmission. The study of values is consequently central to understanding the current philosophical debate regarding educational policy.
