THE VALUES EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Department of Education Culture and Sports (DECS) provides and


promotes values education at all three levels of the educational system for the
development of the human person committed to the building "of a just and
humane society" and an independent and democratic nation.

VALUES EDUCATION

Values Education 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.

First, the subject matter itself, values, has direct and immediate relevance
to the personal life of the learner.

Second, the process is not just cognitive but involves all the faculties of the
learner. The teacher must appeal not only to the mind but to the hearts as well,
in fact, the total human person.

Third, one learns values the way children learn many things from their
parents. Children identify with parents, and this identification becomes the
vehicle for the transmission of learning, be it language or the values of thrift and
hard work. Hence, the teachers personal values play an important role in values
learning.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES


Values have a social function: commonly held values unite families, tribes,
societies, and nations. They are essential to the democratic way of lie, which
puts a high premium on freedom and the rule of law. That is why, shortly after
the Revolution of February 1986, the DECS made values education a primary
thrust.
Similarly, the DECS thrust found strong support in the Philippine Constitution
of 1987 in its vision of a just and humane society," which calls for a shared
culture and commonly held values such as "truth, justice, freedom, love, equality
and peace." (Preamble)

In the pursuit of this thrust, the DECS has embarked on a Values Education
Program with the following goal and objectives.

GOAL

To provide and promote values education at all three levels of the


educational system for the development of the human person committed to
the building o a just and humane society" and an independent and
democratic nation.
OBJECTIVES

Proper implementation of the program will develop Filipinos who:


are self-actualized, integrally developed human beings imbued with a
sense of human dignity;
are social beings with a sense of responsibility for their community and
environment;
are productive persons who contribute to the economic security and
development of the family and the nation;
as citizens have a deep sense of nationalism and are committed to the
progress of the nation as well as of the entire world community through
global solidarity; and
Manifest in actual life an abiding faith in God as a reflection of their
spiritual being.

PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES

Values education, pursued at the national, regional, local, and institution


levels, should be guided by the following general principles:

It must be oriented toward the total person of the learner-mind, heart,


and entire being.
It must take into consideration the unique role of the family in ones
personal development and integration into society and the nation.
In the school context, more important than lesson plans and any list of
values are the teachers themselves who have the proper sense of values,
awareness of their inner worth, and utmost respect for the person of the
other.
