Abstract

The study of human values currently gains a lot of importance, this is because the humanity is within a social crisis mostly evidenced in teenagers since some years ago; teenagers demonstrate disruptive conducts like violence, drugs, alcoholism among others and all these psychosocial phenomena have been associated with the loss of values inside the family and education. In the field of social psychology, Shalom H. Schwartz Ph. D. has studied and researched human values and its importance on conduct development and people motivation widely; his redefined theory regarding human values and continual motivational, are the base of current research; his survey PVQ-RR is the instrument that was applied at Manuela Cañizares High School with 20 students of 10th year of EGB, with men, women and 6 teachers that supported the investigation work. After the analysis of data obtained from the questionnaire was applied concluded that teenagers and teachers give equal importance to values such as self-transcendence; that is that teachers have managed to instill in their students altruistic ideals as the protection of nature, concern for others, tolerance, benevolence, among others.
