Аннотация:A comparative study of preferential features of general values and the values of educational activities of the 9-11th form students (15/16 years old) in Russia and Turkey. Preferences of Russian and Turkish 9-11th form schoolchildren were revealed and compared in relation to the basic and educational values (considering the correlation of significance and accessibility). It has been shown, that for Turkish schoolchildren the status values are considerably higher, than the values of acceptance and communication, whereas for Russian schoolchildren the regularity is opposite, which does not depend on neither sex, nor the school class. As to proper educational values of knowledge and self-development, no special differences have been detected. Besides, cultural and gender peculiarities have been revealed in significance and accessibility of such basic values, as health, happy family life and an interesting job.
