Özet:

 This study aims to reveal the value perceptions of primary school students and their classroom teachers through the heroes they associate with core values. Within the framework of social learning theory, the influence of role model figures on childrens value acquisition processes is emphasized. Conducted within the scope of a descriptive survey model, the research collected data from 236 students in the 3rd and 4th grades and 12 teachers working in these classes during the 20232024 academic year. Participants were asked to write the name of a hero they associate with each of the ten core values determined by the Ministry of National Education. The collected data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis method, and the findings were classified based on the heroes domains of activity, gender, grade level, and a comparison between teachers and students. The results indicate that students most frequently associated values with Atatürk, cartoon characters, and individuals from their close environment, whereas teachers placed greater emphasis on historical and religious figures. Notably, the prominent presence of media characters in childrens value perception is striking. This finding suggests that values education must be reconsidered with new strategies suited to the digital age.

 Bu çalışma, ilkokul öğrencileri ve sınıf öğretmenlerinin kök değerler ile ilişkilendirdikleri kahramanlar aracılığıyla değer algılarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Sosyal öğrenme kuramı çerçevesinde, çocukların değer öğrenme süreçlerinde rol model figürlerin etkisi temel alınmıştır. Betimsel tarama modeli kapsamında yürütülen araştırmada, 20232024 eğitim-öğretim yılında 3. ve 4. sınıf düzeyinde öğrenim gören 236 öğrenci ile bu sınıflarda görev yapan 12 öğretmenden veri toplanmıştır. Katılımcılardan, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından belirlenen 10 kök değerin her biriyle özdeşleştirdikleri bir kahraman ismi yazmaları istenmiştir. Toplanan veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle çözümlenmiş; elde edilen bulgular kahramanların faaliyet alanlarına, cinsiyete, sınıf düzeyine ve öğretmenöğrenci karşılaştırmasına göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, öğrencilerin değerleri en çok Atatürk, çizgi film karakterleri ve yakın çevre bireyleriyle ilişkilendirdiğini; öğretmenlerin ise tarihî ve dini şahsiyetlere daha fazla vurgu yaptığını göstermektedir. Özellikle medya karakterlerinin çocukların değer dünyasındaki ağırlığı dikkat çekicidir. Bu durum, değerler eğitiminin dijital çağda yeni stratejilerle yeniden ele alınmasını gerekli kılmaktadır.
