Senator Angara, chairman of the senate Committee on Education once stressed the following
“We can only premise the development of our nation on solid education.” We will need money materials
and machine with which to improve our nation. However, we must have the most important vital ingredient
in any transformation endeavor and that means PEOPLE with commensurate skills, people with necessary
virtues, people who are willing to subordinate their selfish interest for the common good, people who are
guided by common vision, and people who are inspired by a sense of mission.

secondary educational development program includes values education as a distinct subject to serve as
the formal cognitive- based learning experiences for values clarification and development.

Chapter 3: Theoretical Foundation in the study of Values Education

Value - Qualities, characteristics, or ideas about which we feel strongly. Our values affect our
decisions, goals and behavior and belief of feeling that someone or something is worthwhile, values define
what is beneficial and what is harmful values are standards to guide your action, judgment and attitudes.
How do we develop our values?
 As defined by Brian Hall in his book, the personal discernment inventory published in
1980, value refer to the major priorities that one chooses to action and that creatively
enhance his life and the lives of those with whom he associates with it is therefore
something chosen from alternatives is acted upon, and enhances creative interpretation
and development of human personality. And it is because of this reason that values
education has been introduced to the educational system of the country, in fact, values
education now occupies one of the highest priorities.
 Truly, the relevance of country’s educational system lies in its ability to form an outlook, a
character and an orientation necessary to achieve the goal of nation building.

Choice was considered w/ the consequences

Thomas Andres gave the ff. question to clarify whether or not a given thing is a value?
1. Was the value chosen from range of alternative that I was aware of?
2. Did I consider the consequences of alternative that I was aware of?
3. Is the value evident in my behavior? Have I acted on it?
4. Do I act on this value repeatedly in some fashion of through a variety of similar experience?
5. Am I happy and pleased with the choice?
6. Am I willing to state it publicly?
7. Does the value enhance and not impede the development of my emotional and spiritual being?

Conclusion
Therefore, values are major priorities that a person chooses to act on the creatively
enhances life of those who he associates, Our life are said to be motivated and guided by
values. Our goal is the things that we valued in life.
