Resumo
It is known that Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the Modern Olympic Games, sought to infuse the Olympic Movement with a philosophy of social reform based on the educational value of sport. In light of this, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) created strategies that, among other objectives, aimed to promote the Olympic values through Olympic education. The establishment of guidelines for measuring values is one of the fundamental requirements for deepening knowledge in the feld of Olympic education. Thus, it is important to have a valid and reliable measuring instrument that can support the guidance of educational projects based on Olympic values. To do so, it is necessary to present the bases and guidelines for measuring the Olympic values, which is the intention of this chapter. To achieve the objective of this work, we initially address the contributions that have promoted a clearer understanding of the concept of value. Then, some studies designed to measure values are highlighted. Finally, some guidelines are presented for the elaboration of a measure of Olympic values.
