Abstract
Abstract Sauvala, A. 1983. The Finnish Educational Goals Project. Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research 27, 129‐144. The purpose of the Project was to survey the appreciation and attainment of educational goals at schools among different population groups. Parents and teachers valued the goals the most, while university students and school administrators valued them the least. The widest consensus of acceptance was elicited by the goals of over‐all personality and mental health, and by ethical‐social and work‐related goals, the attainment of which improves during schooling. Simultaneously, the attainment of esthetic, national, health and religious goals decreases. The results have been utilized, for example, in drafts for comprehensive and upper secondary school legislation. The bill includes the goal of responsibility, valued the most by vocational school teachers and school administrators, and that of appreciation for peace, valued the most by secondary school pupils.
