Powerpoint presentation about Values Education

1. VALUES EDUCATION
JEREMY CAÑÓN FRANCO

2. DEFINITION
• VALUES EDUCATION IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH PEOPLE
GIVE MORAL VALUES TO OTHERS. ONE DEFINITION
REFERS TO IT AS THE PROCESS THAT GIVES YOUNG
PEOPLE AN INITIATION INTO VALUES, GIVING
KNOWLEDGE OF THE RULES NEEDED TO FUNCTION
IN THIS MODE OF RELATING TO OTHER PEOPLE.

3. WHERE CAN TAKE PLACE THE VALUES
EDUCATION?
• VALUES EDUCATION CAN TAKE PLACE AT OUR HOMES, AS WELL AS IN
SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, JAILS AND VOLUNTARY YOUTH
ORGANIZATIONS.

4. VALUES EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD
• AUSTRALIA: THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT CURRENTLY FUNDS VALUES
EDUCATION IN ITS SCHOOLS, WITH ITS OWN PUBLICATIONS AND FUNDING
OF SCHOOL FORUMS ON VALUES EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS OF
EDUCATION. IT ALSO HELPS IN BECOMING A BETTER PERSON.
• JAPAN: ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM
FIRST TO NINTH GRADES WILL BE TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF LIFE, TO
LISTEN TO OTHERS WITH DIFFERENT OPINIONS, TO BE FAIR, RESPECT
THEIR COUNTRY AND LEARN ABOUT FOREIGN CULTURES.

5. • UNITED KINGDOM: SINCE 1988 THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT, ALTHOUGH NOT RECOGNIZING
OR CALLING IT VALUES EDUCATION, HAS PROMOTED AND RESPECTED VALUES IN THE
OF SPIRITUAL, MORAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT (SMSCD) LEAVING THE
INITIATIVE TO INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS TO DECIDE HOW VALUES EDUCATION STANDARDS
SHOULD BE MET.
• SLOVENIA: THERE IS AN OBLIGATORY SCHOOL SUBJECT
THAT INCLUDES THE ASPECT OF VALUES EDUCATION
AND CITIZENSHIP CULTURE AND ETHICS. IT IS TAUGHT
IN 7TH OR 8TH GRADE. BESIDES THIS THERE ARE TWO
ELECTIVE SUBJECTS THAT PARTLY DEAL WITH VALUES
EDUCATION: RELIGIONS AND ETHICS AND PHILOSOPHY
FOR CHILDREN.

6. TYPES OF VALUES EDUCATION
THERE IS A FURTHER DISTINCTION BETWEEN EXPLICIT VALUES EDUCATION
AND IMPLICIT VALUES EDUCATION WHERE:
• EXPLICIT VALUES EDUCATION IS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE DIFFERENT
PEDAGOGIES, METHODS OR PROGRAMS THAT TEACHERS OR EDUCATORS USE
IN ORDER TO CREATE LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR STUDENTS WHEN IT
COMES TO VALUE QUESTIONS.
• IMPLICIT VALUES EDUCATION ON THE OTHER HAND COVERS ASPECTS OF
THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT RESULTS IN THE VALUE OF
INFLUENCE OR LEARNING ITSELF.
.

7. MORAL EDUCATION
MORAL AS SOCIO-LEGAL-RELIGIOUS NORMS ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP
PEOPLE BEHAVE RESPONSIBLY. HOWEVER, NOT ALL MORALS LEAD TO
RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR.
VALUES EDUCATION CAN SHOW WHICH MORALS
ARE “BAD” MORALS AND WHICH ARE “GOOD”.
THE CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR COMES FROM
CONFUSING QUESTIONS ABOUT RIGHT AND
WRONG.
