In the given work economic socialization is considered as both the process and result of person’s
inclusion in economic relations of modern society. The system of economic knowledge and skills,
which are formed by means of early economic education, is aimed at the development of child’s
own point of view on economic problems of the society that results in changes of structure of
valuable orientations. The results of the experiment on elementary school children confirmed the
assumption that economic education as a factor influencing the process of economic socialization
of a child adapts him in the world of economic relations.
3118.22 Measurement of values: How stable is the measured construct? Ivana Feric, Institute of
Social Sciences "Ivo Pilar", Croatia
Working assumption of much research on values is that individual’s value system is fairly stable,
expressing coherence over time and situations, guiding the individual in choosing appropriate
behaviors and making decisions. An alternative view suggests that the value system we construct
is very much dependent on the context in which we are asked to do it. An experiment is conducted
in order to test the effects of situational context on structure of value systems. Results show that
although the rated importance of single values changes with regard to specific target issues, the
structure of the whole value system remains stable.

Investments in online training have been tripled in the organizations but, are the users prepared for
the change? To identify the students opinion towards the new technologies. It can help us to
explain their acceptance, rejection or the high rate of these programs desertions. Some authors

online training program. We discuss its influence on the program performance.
