Values Education Source Book
ABSTRACT
This is a resource guide for teachers, currlculum
coordinators, curriculum developers, teacher trainers, and other
educators interested in valueg education. The volume is therevised
and expanded edition of ED 103 284 An ,introduction outlines and
explains the guidelines used to formulate and organize the analyses
of values educational materials. Chapter one presents an overview of
the typology of values education approaches developed in the earlier
publication and three' procedures designed to help users apply the
analytical system. Chapters tim through six contain the analyses of
curriculum resources. Each chapter focuses on one of the five values
e education approaches: inculcation, moral development, analysis,
clarification, and action learning. Each is divided into three
sections: a detailed explanation of the approach, analYses of student
materials reflecting the approach, and analyses of teacher materials
reflecting the approach. Chapter seven describes and explains two
other approaches to values education -- evocation and union--for which
there are few curriculUm materials prepently'available. `These two
approaChes are explained in terms of their rationale, pur ose, and
methods. In additidn, sample learning activities and edu ational
programs related to these two approaches are discussed. nannotated
bibliography 'of over 400 materials and resources concludes the
document. (Author/JR)

that the inculcation approach, by its very
nature, is evident in every-set of materials.
Usually inculcation is implicit in the intent
and activities of the package. For the pur-
poses of our work, we. did not classify

You will note that most of the materials

from a personal focus, such as "I Am Love-

a Very tedious and difficult process. These back from local teachers has been favorable.
two programs therefore are designed to
teach students certain skills with which to
make _decisions, to evaluate the risks in
and to analyze and define their value
systems as they routinely relate to people
and events.
Hard Choices emphasizes the importance
of defining a decision, establishing values,
ti
recognizing alternatives, gathering informa-
tion, and applying decision-making
strategies based on risks and probabilities.
Students are presented with examples de-
scribing hbw various contemporary persons
such as Dick Gregory and Shirley MacLaine
and several literary characters such as Con-
rack and Siddartha reacted to conflict. Stu-
dents are frequently asked how they would
have handled an identical situation. This
program ends with a discussion about how
students can learn to evaluate a decision
once it has been made.
Clarifying Your Values describes specific
situations involving the risks and advan-
tages of action in accordance with one's own
values. For example, from excerpts of To
Kill a Mockingbird, students see the possi-
ble consequences when Atticus Finch de-
aides to defend a black man in small South-
ern town. Another example shows a high
school student committing herself to the
goal of becoming a professional ice skater.

Students can readily see the demands and
sacrifices as well as the rewards resulting
from pursuing such a goal.

Title: MEETING YOURSELF HALFWAY,: 31 VALUE CLARIFICATIbN
STRATEGIES FOR DAILY LIVING

Meeting Yourself Halfway is a book of
value-clarification strategies for secondary
students and adults. The author believes
that because the many conflicting val-
ues present -iirsbciety, it is necessary for s
individuals t8: learn to decide which values
are most important to them. The overall
objective is self-discovery. To be able to
answer the questions "Who am I?" and
"What do I value?" is essential a per
son is Co leam to chook freely and to live
a full, meaningful life with direction. The
suggested strategies help students "locate,
ti
sort out, and build t set of values." Stu-
dents hopefully will learn to make their
thoughts and feelings consistent with their
behavior.
There are 31 strategies suggested, each
of which focuses up the processes in-
volved in choosing, prizing, ahil acting
, three integral parts of the value-.
clarification process. The strategies are
group' oriented and encourage dialogue.
They are self-explanatory and may be used
independently by a small 'group or possibly
by an individual. The approach taken is a
pbsitive, personally affirming one, focus-
ing on individuals. Activities include "tak-
ing inventory" of different aspects of the
students' lives.: learning and' practicing I!,
r
decision-making considering'
priorities, risks, and consequences; and
taking action. Students are encouraged to
commit themselves, by writing down (for
their own reference) their answers, de-
cisions, and reactions to the strategies.
Evaluation-A-left-to the individual. The
rationale implies, that you will be success-
ful in using this boOk if you increase the
extent to which you ."do what you value"
and."value what you do." 'Some general,
guidelines for determining ,such behaviot
are proVided.

with students on probation, building val-

authors' division of values clarification
into three processes (choosing values, priz-

explained. In Chapters 6 through 9, values
clarification strategies are divided into
three categories: "starter,': "advanced,"
and "probing" strategies. The authors
warn that it is important to begin with the
starter strategies, since moving into . ad-

deeply before the individual or group is

The ideas of Georg Herbert Mead are interpreted from a sociological perspective
in this book. Blumer contends that a person is not fully determined by the society
or culture. The possession of a "self," according to Blamer, makes the person "a
special kind of actor," who can help guide his or her own behavior within the
social context. e

This paper explains a theory of social education based on the axiom that "stu-
dents are social actors engaged in purposive decision making who process
information in acquiring and acting upon normative and empirical beliefs about
social phenomena." Normative assumptions of this theory are that social educa-
tion should increase the ability of students to (1) make socially effective choices,
(2) systematically assess alternative social futures, and (3) be continuous social
learners.

This work postulates a theory of valuing to which educators and theorists from
other values education approaches claim to be related. Dewey was classified as an
"action learning" theorist because of his emphasis on the social and personal
aspects of valuing, as reflected in the following: Valuing "is as much a matter of
interaction of a person with his social environment as walking is an interaction of
legs with a physical environment"; "We must realize both the degree to which
moral beliefs are a product of social environment and the degree to which thinking
can alter that environment,"

A model for making group value judgments which emphasizes both the nature of
the situation (environment) and the "moods" of the characters (person) is
presented in this book.
