İmam-Hatip Lisesi Öğrencilerinin Değer Yönelimleri

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the value orientations of students in imam-hatip high schools, their differences in value orientations in terms of various demographic variables. A total of 1389 imam-hatip high school students from Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya, Adana, Konya, Trabzon, Erzurum, Malatya, Samsun, Gaziantep, and Diyarbakir participated in the study that was designed in descriptive survey model. As a result of the research, the values that students are most important are hedonism, power, and reputation; the values they notice to the least importance to tolerance, humility, and benevolence. In addition, a significant relationship was found between value orientations and gender and grade level. It was determined that boys attach more importance to the power and traditional values than girls; that girls give more importance to success, hedonism, tolerance, benevolence, and trustability, humility and obeying rules than boys. In addition, as the class level increases, so does hedonism. The fact that a similar study was not found in the literature on imam-hatip high school students emphasizes the pioneering character of this study. With the results of the research, qualified scientific data that will guide the debates of individualization, secularization and hedonistic consumer society which have become more prominent in the recent period are presented.
