Educational value from the perspective of bilingual and multilingual pupils from a different cultural environment

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to define the importance of educational value of pupils from bilingual, anglophone backgrounds. The survey is based on assumptions. Firstly, the cultural background of pupils is an important socialising determinant and the fact that school education is perceived as the key to the success of an individual in society. The importance that individuals ascribe to the educational value is later reflected in their individual educational and future career trajectories. In the research, we did not only concentrate on capturing the position of the educational value in the value system of the pupil enrolled in the secondary education level, but also on mapping the main aspects that determine the process of constructing it within the individual's value system and the importance of education from a transgenerational perspective. The result of the research was the comparison of the total data obtained from monolingual and bilingual environments. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology
