Objectives of the Course

The aim is to enable graduate students to compare the value perceptions of different cultures on an academic basis. Students will be equipped with the ability to qualitatively encode (using NVivo, etc.) educational programs, fairy tales/children's literature texts, and course materials from different geographical regions into large datasets, and to develop new instructional designs that synthesize universal and local values ??based on this data

Course Content

This course examines values ??education comparatively from a global perspective, through the education systems of different geographies and cultures (Europe, Asia, Middle East). By focusing on selected international samples, it is analyzed how different cultural, religious, political and demographic characteristics are reflected in values ??education. Additionally, basic approaches such as indoctrination, value clarification, value analysis and moral reasoning are discussed by synthesizing them with qualitative data analysis tools and the Virtue-Value-Action (EDE) framework.
