Value Education and its importance in Holistic Development

Before we get into knowing what is value education let us understand what is the connection between development and value education. Value Education is not a subject, but it should definitely be a part of the child’s learning spaces at developmental stages which includes Parents, School and Community. Value education is one of the critical keys for the overall development of a student in the course of learning which includes Personality development and Citizenship education. Laurel High Global School vision is to create global citizens and future leaders with competencies in a learner-friendly and inspiring environment. Welcoming learning spaces and aesthetically pleasing environment are very important for each stage of development.

 

“Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.” C.S. Lewis

 

The “Value” of Value Education 

Value- education, is concerned to make morality a living concern for children. Hence, what is needed is value-education. Despite many educators and educationists description regarding value-education, it cannot be denied that continuing research will continue to make the description of value-education more adequate.

The values we live by affect how we relate to the people around us and to all our activities in the environment, and so they have a major influence on our prospects for achieving a sustainable future. Although this can’t be separated from cognitive understanding, values and attitudes relate to the affective (or emotional) dimensions of our behaviour. While values and attitudes are similar in this regard, they differ significantly in several important ways.

Values are the long-term standards or principles that are used to judge the worth of an idea. Values provide us the criteria by which we decide what is good or bad, right or wrong.

It predisposes us to respond in particular ways to people and events.

Value-education is a multifaceted endeavor and in an activity during which young people are assisted by adults or older people in schools, family homes, clubs, and other organizations, to make known those underlying their own attitudes, to study the effectiveness of values for their own and other’s well-being in the long term long term to reflect on and acquire other values.
