Mapping the Terrain of Education 2018–2019: A Summary Report

Abstract

Abstract:This report shares the results of the Mapping the Terrain annual study which focuses on the attitudes of youths and adults around them regarding values as they relate to growth and development. The interest in values comes from the approach that as youths grow and life conditions change, so do values, and new ones are adopted as a result of people's interactions with each other and their environments. More than 25,000 participants from 14 countries were approached through local coordinators and surveyed on four main values: empathy, forgiveness, moral reasoning, and community mindedness. The results show promise on the importance of the human development approach and universal Islamic values in education in Muslim societies.
