Educational values of sport and olympism in the opinion of students and undergraduates

Öz

Knowledge on the subject of values preferred by individuals and groups is cognitively interesting and socially useful. Traditional and universal values seem to lose competition with values preferred in today’s commercialised and virtual word. Thus, education according to values, particularly those timeless and universal ones, becomes an important element of the process of education  as well as urgent social need both in life and in sport. The aim of this  work is to present results of studies carried out by myself and regarding the hierarchy of values and opinions on the subject of educational values of sport and olympism from the point of view of a selected group of secondary school students and undergraduates In the general hierarchy of values , the responders placed family as the most important value, and among the educational values of sport, health was indicated as most important by younger students, cooperation by older students and discipline by undergraduates. However, the values of olympism with the main principle of fair play were also mentioned, though they were placed further in the presented hierarchy of values.
