Abstract

Given the importance of the transmission of values by the teaching staff in their professional exercise, this paper aims to describe the values of Primary Education Degree students from Andalusian universities (Spain). To this end, an instrument called Adapted Value Test - “Test de valores adaptado” (TVA) - with answers as a Likert scale, was administered to a representative sample of 650 students. The results reveal that the polled university students value in a positive manner non-material aspects related to affectivity, ecology, moral, and individual values followed by the values related to the body, body care, as well as, social, material, and aesthetic values. Finally, at the bottom of the hierarchy, values related to intellectual, political, and religious aspects can be found.
