VALUES FORMATION AND YOU

“Education in values means the cultivation of effectivity, leading the educand through exposure to an
experience of value and the valuable.”

-R. Aquino

IS THERE A RIGHT VALUE FOR ME ALSO A RIGHT VALUE TO YOU?

There are two varied answers to the question…..

 If you belong to the IDEALIST GROUP, there are unchanging and universal values.

Values of Love, Care and concern

 Are values for all people regardless of time and space. Remain unchanged in between changing
times. These are called transcendent values.

TRANSCEDENT VALUES

 Transcendent because they are beyond changing times, beyond space and people.
 They remain to be a value even if no one values them.
 They are accepted as values anywhere.

On the other hand, the RELATIVISTS claim that there are no universal and unchanging values. They
assert that values are dependent on time and place.

The values that our forefathers believed in are not necessarily the right values for the present.

ARE VALUES TAUGHT OR CAUGHT?

Values are both Taught and Caught.

 If they are not taught because they are merely caught, then there is even no point in proceeding
to right and discuss your values formation as a teacher here.
 Values are also caught. We not be able to hear our fathers advice “do not smoke” because what
he does (he himself smokes) speaks louder than what he says.

VALUES HAVE COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE AND BEHAVIORAL DIMENSIONS.

COGNITIVE DIMENSION

 We must understand the value that we want to acquire.


 We need to know how to live by that value.

AFFECTIVE DIMENSION

 It is not enough to know what honesty is or why one should be honest.


 ‘’One has to feel something towards honesty, be moved towards honesty as preferable to
dishonesty.’’(Aquino 1990)
BEHAVIORAL DIMENSION

 In fact, living by that value is the true acid test if we really value honesty.

VALUE FORMATION INCLUDES FORMATION IN THE COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE AND BEHAVIORAL


DIMENSIONS.

 Your value as teachers will necessarily include those three dimensions.


 You have to grow in knowledge and in wisdom and in your sensitivity and openness and the
variety of values experience in life (Aquino, 1990)
 You have to be attentive to your value lessons.
 Read some biographies and other inspirational books
 Associate with model teachers
 Avoid loud and aggressive persons.
 Join community immersions to be exposed to people in various walks of life.
