You Can Make Valuegenesis3 Another Success

Valuegenesis Update

Dear Adventist Educator

You may have heard that the North American Division Office of Education is continuing the Valuegenesis research started 20 years ago. This school year during the month of October, 2010, in partnership with the John Hancock Center for Youth Ministry located at La Sierra University we will conduct the survey. The title of this research that will result is Valuegenesis³: A Study of the Influence of Family, School, and Church on the Formation of Faith, Values, and Commitment.

This third Valuegenesis survey is an extensive investigation of faith, church involvement and commitment, youth ministry, family ministry, Adventist practice and behavior, personal values, attitudes toward school, various social issues, school spirit, and climate concerns along with many other factors. Religious practice in the home and family religious life are also included.

It follows research which began in 1990 and again in the year 2000. With this third survey we anticipate some valuable research results. With three research reference points we will be able to identify significant trends in these core areas of a student’s developing faith.

We hope every Adventist school will participate. The larger the study group the more valuable the data that will assist us in meeting our educational mission, goals, and student outcomes.
