【 摘 要 】

A modern man fills his free time with various activities distinguished by their value based priorities. Relevant literature points to the fact that values can be 'transferred', that there is a hierarchy of values, that old values are replaced by new ones and that they have predictive power. This is why the author decided on an empirical investigation of estimates and assumptions held by primary school students relating to value orientation governing their free time. A scale was devised containing 36 statements (r=0.82) and applied to the sample of 126 primary school students. The findings of the investigation point to the fact that students hold different value-based orientations, depending on the school grade, sex, academic success and the parents' school attainment: in terms of the factors influencing activities pursued in spare time, differences can be observed only by the sex of students. Pursuing different activities and the influence of various factors affecting spare time pave the way for the development of different value-based orientations. This is why the instruction concerning spare time, and pursued during spare time should be based on different values. In addition, this all has significant pedagogical implication for the overall education and personality development.
