Abstract

In this paper, different classifications of values and value orientations are presented
and explained within the framework of theoretical scientific synthesis on the basis
which was found to be most suitable for examining teachers’ values and value
orientations. At the beginning of the school year 2019/2020, transversal empirical
research based on Rokeach’s Value Survey was conducted on a random sample of
408 teachers from Central and Western Serbia. The purpose of the study was to
identify terminal and instrumental values of teachers with different length of work
experience. In terms of terminal values, all groups of examined teachers identically
positioned family security with regards to the other examined values, and in terms of
instrumental values, teachers of all groups equally positioned honesty, responsibility
and ambition. The resulting parameters of ANOVA test and F values among the
groups of examinees showed statistical significance in the preferences for both terminal
and instrumental values, confirming that teachers’ professional experience (years of
service) has significant influence on positioning values.
