 WHAT IS VALUES EDUCATION?

• It is an approach to teaching that works with values. It creates a

strong learning environment that enhances academic
achievement and develops students' social and relationship skills
that last throughout their lives.
 WHAT ARE VALUES IN EDUCATION?

• Values are primarily the principles that used to judge the worth
of an idea, person, action, the wisdom, humanity, respect,
positive thinking, motivation, decision making, appreciation, etc.
Their wisdom can implant values while educating others. They
teach values like wisdom, importance of sharing, analysing
things etc.
• It can be noted that "values" in education deal only with the
positive knowledge acquired from education.
A FEW IMPORTANT FACTORS IN INFLUENCING THE
VALUES IN PRESENT EDUCATION

Educators - They know things and they pass on the

information. Their wisdom can implant values while
educating others. They teach values like wisdom,
importance of sharing, analysing things etc. with the ones
who are eager to learn.
• Free Thinkers - They play a vital role in developing a country.
Their thoughts are broad and positive. Various ways to deal with
problems, decision making, positive thinking can be gained from
them.
• Parents - They are the first source from where
values can be taken from. While teaching the basic
things to their children, they can implant values like
kindness, trust, compassion, truth, non-violence etc.
• Experiences - Experiences are the best teachers. When children
experience something, they learn from it. Whether the experience
is good or bad, the lesson is always learnt and the lesson comes
with a value. Decision making, independence, lateral thinking
etc. can be learnt from experience.
• Society - It forms a larger picture. Society comprises people of
various ages, professions, habits, thought processes etc. Many of
us in the present day believe in pleasing the society before
anything else. From the large perspective, appreciation, tolerance,
self-progress, etc. can be learnt from society.
HOW CAN STUDENTS BENEFIT OUT OF SUCH VALUES?

•Students can work on improving their values by first identifying the positive
and the negative aspects of the people and events from which they gain
education.
•Once they are able to understand the difference between positive and negative
deeds, they can take a step ahead and focus on the positive aspects from their
"learning“
•They can fine tune their personality by bringing into practice the values they have
received. For instance, honesty, faith, being independent etc.
 HOW TO INCORPORATE THE VALUES IN EDUCATION
ENVIRONMENT?

 While educating; the educators, parents etc. must give equal weightage to the values, the subject/topic being
taught has to offer.
 Turning the values into practical experiences can prove successful in shaping up a child into a better adult.
 Adopting alternate ways to make the student understand the importance of what is being taught and what
value it has can help them analyse better.
 Encouraging students to teach something that has a vital value for others to learn. For example, the
importance of time, why knowledge is better than money, etc.
• Education without value is like a tree without leaves. No one
gets the shade no matter how big the tree is. Hence, the ultimate
goal of education must be turning students into better human
begins along with helping them gain knowledge.
