Problem Statement: Processes of change of development social situation in the modern and rapidly changing world are interconnected with the change of value orientations, formed in senior school age. Considering the globalization processes, one can assume an increase of closeness and likeness of the values and vectors of their change, even in originally different cultures. Purpose of Study: 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. Research Methods: Those tested. 1) Russia (Moscow) 173 reports (61 boys; 112 girls). 2) Turkey (Mersina – 33%, Istanbul – 60% & Ankara – 7%) 149 reports (73 boys; 76 girls). Procedure. Ranging of 22 values was performed (10 values of school life and 12 of general values) by means of their comparison in pairs from the point of view of significance («value» parameter), and (at repeated ranging) of their accessibility in future («accessibility» parameter). Findings: For Turkish schoolchildren, status values are considerably higher («my authority», «to be better than the others» and «overcoming difficulties»), than the values of acceptance and communication («availability of good and true friends», «interesting conversation», «recognition in collective body», «approval of associates»), while for Russian schoolchildren the regularity is opposite. Such relations do not depend neither on sex, nor on the school form. As to strictly educational values of knowledge and self-development («self-improvement in studies», «deep and stable knowledge» and «successful studies»), there are no particular differences between the Turkish and Russian schoolchildren. Cultural and gender features were revealed for the Russian and Turkish schoolchildren depending on the significance and accessibility of such basic values, as health, happy family life and an interesting job. Conclusions: Despite the globalization processes, the cultures of the Russian and Turkish senior schoolchildren retain considerable differences in the correlation of affiliated and status-competitive values, however, their strictly educational values are similar. Keywords: value orientations, personality, senior schoolchildren
