VALUES EDUCATION

My learning discoveries about Values Education are as follows:

Values refers to interest, pleasure, likes, preference, duties, moral obligations,


desires, wants, goals, needs, and many other kinds of selective orientations which
serve as criteria for action.

A thing has valued when it is perceived as good and desirable. Food, money, and
housing have a value because they are perceived as good and the desire to acquire
them influences attitudes and behavior. Not only material goods but also ideals and
concepts are valuable, such as truth, honesty, and justice.
Values are the bases of judging what attitudes and behavior are correct and desirable
and what are not.

I have learned that Values Education refers to one’s learning how to think critically in
addressing evaluative, especially moral issues/dilemmas/controversies ([Link],
death penalty, cloning, animal rights, and divorce). It is as a part of the school
curriculum is the process by which values are formed in the learner under the guidance
of the teacher and as he interacts with this environment. But it involves not just any kind
of teaching- learning process.
It is based on a rational understanding of the human person, specifically on
understanding of the Filipino as a human being in society and his/her role in the shaping
of society and the environment.

PERSONAL REACTION/ POINT OF VIEWS


I believe that knowing, learning, and having values education is one of the best
lessons that we must possess. Being mentally and academically good is great but
having the right values will bring you places. The high level of emotional and social
quotient is I think more important. A student can persevere and work very hard in
earning grades but without values that is nothing. Study shows that those who succeed
in their career is not only mentally good but possess the right values.

 REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE/LIFE ILLUSTRATION

As a person and now as a mother I make sure that I practice and put into life the
values that I learned. I have to become a good model to my child. Showing the right
attitude, patience, perseverance, respect.
We have to start on our own to make a difference. Basic illustration is by
observing basic laws, protecting environment, following simple traffic rules, being nice
even if not close to neighbors. Respect begets respect, it is one core of values
education.

As a parent/educator to my son, I always include in our activities the value of


what we are doing, the corresponding trait or character that we have to do or apply in a
certain situation.

VALUES/ REALIZATION LEARNED

Values Education is based on a rational understanding of the human person,


specifically on understanding of the Filipino as a human being in society and his/her role
in the shaping of society and the [Link] task of education is to help the
•Filipino know themselves better, •develop his/her potential, •contribute to the growth of
the Philippine culture, •and must be able to bind together human and non-human
resources for the attainment of a just and humane society.

We want to create a more sustainable world, with stable economies and more just and inclusive
societies. A difficult but not unattainable target if we can count on the involvement of
governments, institutions, businesses, and, above all, a responsible and committed public.

This concept is about the educational process that instills moral standards to create more
civil and democratic societies. Values education therefore promotes tolerance and
understanding above and beyond our political, cultural and religious differences, putting special
emphasis on the defence of human rights, the protection of ethnic minorities and the most
vulnerable groups, and the conservation of the environment.

Values education is the responsibility of us all and not just of schools. The family, universities,
businesses and sport, for example, are all ideal contexts to teach those ethical principles.
