ABSTRACT
Human values shape attitudes, beliefs, and interactions in life and society. Values are shaped by the social norms and age in which people live. Student 2.0 has grown up with values emerging from their experiences within an increasing digital world where the use of information and communications technology (ICT) is a regular part in school and life. This chapter examines student’s core values to find out what they value most in life. To this end, students at a large North American University created a series of artistic and textual descriptions to explore what they value most in life. The chapter examines collages and narratives from forty students to in response to the following question, “What do I value most in life?” Findings identified key values of students derived from narrative and collage data. Findings also revealed the presence of unique attributes aligned with the expression of values in visual and narrative communications. Unique value themes were expressed in visual communications that were not expressed in narrative form. Implications for educational planning and instructional design are discussed.
