‘Giving Voice to the Impacts of Values Education”

“Teachers are permanently involved in values education… sometimes … without even

realizing that they are teaching values …” (Kohlberg & Turiel in PORTELE, p. 7) Therefore it is
time for us to pay more attention to values education in both teaching and at school. The
requirements, tasks, possibilities and problems connected with the topic of values education in
teaching and at school must be thought about carefully.

Before starting on a project aimed at gaining an understanding of values education, we needed

to understand what we meant by values and by values education. Our intention was to leave
ourselves open to the definitions offered by those in schools, yet to obtain these definitions we
had at times to ask direct questions. Furthermore, to help make sense of the definitions offered
we had to know what a value might be and how values education could be carried out.

The term ‘values education’ has in the past been used synonymously with moral and
religious education. The term ‘values education’ has in the past been used synonymously with
moral and religious education (eg Beck, 1971).Values based Education 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. Shown below are our daily activities to strengthen our faith and have values.
