Axiological Tensions and Options in the Romanian Academic Environment: Intergenerational Comparative Study

This study aims at comparing the value systems of the two generations of professors, from 2 Romanian universities, in order to identify the shared nucleus of values guiding their present activity. These would be incorporated into the initial and continuous teacher training curriculum. The qualitative research involved the application of an open-ended items questionnaire. We shall attempt to systematize: the categories of values held by the investigated professors; their weight and the relations among them; values shared by the two distinct axiological sets and also the distinct values; axiological tensions between the value options of the categories of investigated professors.
