Other project activities - TESTS

• During January and February were translated the
  activity description and tests from English into
  Romanian and Hungarian
• We have chosen two themes from the four VALUES
  and INTERESTS.
• We worked this year with the 7th and 8th grade
  students, so we prepared the tests and activities
  in these grades.
• We have been working during March and April with
  a number of 30 students.

9
Values in general

• First we prepared or adopted according to
  descriptions and tests in English a suitable test
  package about VALUES.
• The first test or activity contained the
  following questions
• Which values do you consider important in school?
  They had a chart with 10 values and they had to
  mark each one from 1 to 4 (1 meaning the lowest
  and 4 the highest importance).
• Which 3 values form above do you think are the
  most important? They had to mark those 3 which
  they considered the most important.

10
VALUES - Results and conclusions

• The following values were mostly appreciated by
  students
• Admiration from the teachers 80
• Working in a group 40
• Knowing new people 50
• Being able to help others 60

11
Values professional values

• After we were talking about what values are in
  general we wanted to know what do our students
  know about professional values. First we talked
  about professions. This is a very important
  problem in the 8th grade because the students
  have to decide which school to attend for their
  future.

12
Values Professional values

• The test about professional values had the
  following questions or activities
• What do you think, what values must have the
  following professionals? (there is a chart with
  14 professions listed and the students have to
  identify what kind of values do these people have
  to have).
• Do you think that our values we will have
  forever? (they had to tell their opinion)
• Imagine, that you are 16 or 17 years old What
  kind of values will you have? (opinion)

13
Values professional values

• - Imagine, that you are 30 years old What kind
  of values will you have? (opinion)
• How can we keep our values? (opinion)

14
VALUES - Results and conclusions

• The students (some of them) cant identify the
  term value, what is a value, what importance does
  a value has. They have in their passive
  vocabulary the words that describe values (like
  honour or reliability) but it is very dificult
  for them to identify as a value.
• We tried to help during the activity , telling
  them to think on adjectives which describe people
  (like honest or reliable). Asking them What
  describes a person who is honest or reliable?
  HONOUR and RELIABILITY.

15
INTERESTS -TESTS

• The activity about interests contains 2 tests or
  a test and an activity.
• First the students were asked about their
  interests, about the activities which they like
  to do.
• What interests do you have? (It is a chart with
  20 activities, the students have to evaluate each
  of these activities giving points from 1 to 3 / 1
  meaning the lowest and 3 the highest importance)

16
INTERESTS -TESTS

• Choose 2 activities from the chart that you like
  the most and give reasons why? (they have to
  chose 2 activities and tell, why do they like to
  do that activity?)
• The second part of the activity, the practical
  one was an interview.
• (The students had to make interviews with their
  classmates each students had to imagine
  themselves in a profession that they would like
  to do in the future. )

17
INTERESTS -TESTS

• The following questions they got as a help for
  the interview
