Abstract
Description
As the predecessor institution of the Faculty of Pedagogy at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Hungary, the Reformed Teacher Training College of Nagykőrös has a long history rooted in centuries-old traditions and a distinct value system. At the time of its re-establishment, these traditions and values shaped the spirit of the curriculum and were emphasized in the Faculty’s teaching, research, and third-mission activities.
Hungarian higher education, as all around the World, focuses on market-oriented values such as indicator-driven output ones, managerial view-based practical values, or practical usage of the degree. The literature states that these values have overcome the traditional values of higher education as the student population itself changes and looks for new and modern, practical face of the sector. Against the backdrop of the ever-changing student population and the emergence of global trends, key questions arise: to what extent traditional values are important for today’s students, and whether value alignment influence their admission choice.
