Orientation in an IEP as Alignment With Core Value Systems: Creating a Convivial Climate on a Multicultural Campus

Literature Review

Concerning student values in a general sense, a recent study (Khinkanina & Serova, 2016) noted the most important value of this millennial generation at a technical university in Russia was happiness in private life, as opposed to other values such as wisdom, productive life or interesting work, etc. The authors noted a low value in students towards occupation. Of import to this chapter is that these authors and others on different continents (Ramnarain & Ramaila, 2014) remark that a student’s personality and moral system are developed through consistent interaction and awareness-making. Ramnarain and Ramaila point to inquiry-based learning as a particularly helpful method in this regard.
