Definition of Values
 Value is derived from the Latin word,
valere to be worth, be strong-something
intrinsically valuable, or desirable. A thing
has value when it is perceived as good and
desirable. Thus, values development is the
act, process or result of developing the
values for human dignity.
Itcan also be said that values are the
bases of judging what attitudes and
behavior are correct and desirable and
what are not. Fittingly, Microsoft®
Encarta® 2007 defined values as the
accepted principles or standards of a
person or a group.
Different theorists define values as follows:
A value is a conception, explicit or
implicit, distinctive of an individual
or characteristic of a group, of the
desirable which influences the
selection from available modes,
means and ends of action. –Clyde
Kluckholm
Value refers to the understanding of a
certain good for an individual or
society which is considered worthy or
realization. –Cornelius Van Der Poel
Something that is freely chosen from
alternatives and is acted upon, that
which the individual celebrates as
being part of the creative integration
in development as a person.
Values Education
 Values Education refers to 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, and to seek the development in the
student a grasp of certain underlying
principles, together with the ability to apply
these rules intelligently, and to have the settled
disposition to do so.
Some researchers use the concept values
education as an umbrella of concepts
that includes moral education and
citizenship education. Themes that
values education can address to varying
degrees are character, moral
development, religious education,
spiritual development, citizenship
education, personal development, social
development and cultural development.
Values education is therefore a term
used to name several things, and
there is much academic controversy
surrounding it. Some regard it as all
aspects of the process by which
teachers (and other adults) transmit
values to pupils.
Others see it as an activity that can take
place in any organization during which
people are assisted by others, who may be
older, in a position of authority or are more
experienced, to make explicit those values
underlying their own behavior for their
own and others’ long term well-being and
to reflect on and acquire other values and
behavior which they recognize as being
more effective for long term well-being of
self and others.
 Values education can take place at
home, as well as in schools, colleges,
universities, institutions and
voluntary youth organizations.
The Christian value information is a
lifelong process of growing which
gets its strength from Jesus’ teaching
and sermons.
