Is there an Axiological Background Favoring the Initial Training in the Didactic Career for the Primary and Preschool Didactic Career?

Abstract

By applying a questionnaire-based inquiry we have investigated a group of 40 subjects, students in the 1st year at Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education, Faculty of Sciences, “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău. The values that students believe in have not constituted, so far, the object of a direct research in Romanian higher education. The existence of an outlined set of values shared by the students in the 1st year at Pedagogy of Primary and Preschool Education may constitute an interesting issue from several perspectives. The formative, curricular and managerial ones come across as decisive in favoring a successful initial training in the field. The results obtained and their analysis has highlighted a series of interesting aspects that we shall present in the study. Also, they open generous perspectives in conducting a longitudinal study on the same topic.
