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)

In response to numerous requests for information about value cation, ERICJCIESS


undertook two studies one concerned with alternative tip oache to this %subject, the
other with selection and analysis of a wide variety of educatio at mate s dealing directly
with values issues: We were fortunate in having a staff me ber,, Doug Superka, who
had already made a thorough study of various approaches to values education, and a
number of staff members with substantial experience in the a nalysis of educational
materials In addition to the persons listed as authors of this publication, many others have
contributed to these studies, as the authors indicate in their acknowledgfnents.
The, two studies have now been combined in this volume. We hope this sourcebook will
serve as a useful reference to ways in which values education may be approached and to
materials that are useful in values education, as well as a guide to other useful references in
the growing literature on this field.

as well as two other approaches (evocAtion
and union), are explained briefly in,Chap-
ter I and in depth in Chapters II through
VII. It should be noted here, however,
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
materials under inculcation unless the de-
velopers have explicitly stated' that there
are certain values they want students to
adopt and have provided activities to ac-

You will note that most of the materials
analyzed embody either the analysis or the
clarification approach. This is an accurate
representation of thejull range of available
values education resources. Several factors
may be responsible for the preponderance"'
of the analysis and clarification ap-
proaches. These include the extensive ef-
forts by Simon and his associates to in-

educators through workshops and confer-
ences; the widespread support of the

The content of this booklet is developed
around the question, "What is the value of

is presented with a number of factual -and

of allowing babies with major physical

leaving old people to die, capital punish-

material and discuss the dilemmas, they
confront values of life that seem to be in
conflict with such values as obedience to
'law and authority, family obligations, polit-
ical loyalties, and cultural diversity.

focus, such as eploring technology and the
relationship of people to machines. The stu-

purpose Of Deciding R ght from Wrong is
to'encourage students t examine the ori-

variety of 'curriculum areas such as En-

Decision-Making deals with some of the
personal problems young people encounter
while growing updrinking, pregnancy,
school, and problems at home. An exam-
ple is that of 17-year-old Jennifer Denton,
who is pregnant. She seeks her sister's
advice about what to do. After discussing
and analyzing every alternative, she must
make the final decision. Deciding Right
from Wrong examines the circumstances
under which some crucial historical and
literary decisions have been made and the
personal and social consequences that fol-
lowed. For . instance, one personality
treated in the slides is 'Senator Edmund
Ross of Kansas, who cast the deciding
vote against convicting Piesident' Andrew
Johnson. As a result, his political career
abruptly cameto an end. The program also
points out that the concept of right and

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

OH 43216
Date: 1972
Pride Levels: 7-12
Materials and Cost: Student text ($3.96); teacher's guide ($1.00)

Making Value Judgments contains a


student text and teacher's manual that are
designed to stimulate classroom discussion
and, student inquiry into the critical issues
facing today's young ,people,--drugs,

The 14 cfiapters composing the student
booklet encourage 'secondary students to
investigate social issues, such as drugs and
pollution, from a personal yiewpoint. In
the sixth chapter, for example, students
work with the question, "Do I want'to use
drugs?" The issue they deal with in Chap-
ter 11 is, "What should I do about pollu-
tion ?" Such issues are posed to the stu-
dents in a variety of waysthrough value
dilemma episodes, case studies, and 4

stories.
The teacher's guide. presents teaching 0
_suggestions, student activities, and a list of
audiovisual aids. In addition, it provides
general guidelines for student evaluation.
Written responses in the form of short-
answer, completion, and true-false tests
are the modes suggested for evaluation. A
A
"Values Attitude Response Question-
naire" is also provided.

Title: MEETING YOURSELF HALFWAY,: 31 VALUE CLARIFICATIbN
STRATEGIES FOR DAILY LIVING
Author: Sidney B. Simon
'Publisher' Argus Communications, 7440 Natchez Ave., Niles, IL 60648
Date: 1974
Grade Levels: 7:42
Matgrials and Cost: Student/teacher book ($4.95), student/,teacher book with spirit
masters ($18.50)
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.

Value in Action encourages students
through discussion, problem solving, and
role playing, td "examine their'values and
to realize that 'there are varied ways of
solving their problems." The rationale
,. explains that "children need help in 'con-
fronting the many dilefnmas in their

According to the developers, role playing
is an effective tool for helping students
woyk with 'such confrontations. The objec-
tivet for the materials are. specifically'
stated and intend for the discussion and
role 'playing-experiences to provide chil-
dren with such things as opportunities to
see universal problems and situations in a
familiar setting, chances for defining and
exploring alternative ways of 'solving a
probletn and seeing the 'probable conse-
4uences of such solutions,, and oppor-
tunities for dialogue with a sympathetic 1
adult.
Students examine' nine problem situa- ,
tions which are presented through a
4'
filmstrip, a recording, discussion, and
role-play activities. The problem situations
treated involve group and peer pressure, I'
honesty, rules, friendship, helping others, e sI
pride4 and responsibility. Por example, in

to incorporate values clarificatioh into the to other areas.
teaching of various subject areas: The au-'
thors generally believe that education
should. be more relevant to students; their
.approach -to accomplishing that goal is to
help teachers focus on the values of the.,
students' within the context of regular
course work. - .6*

The introductory sections of the book


briefly describe the rationale and goals' of
values clarification and identify various
"guidelines teachers should use to imple-
ment this approach. Also inCtuded is an
explanatkin and illustration of three levels
of teaching a subject, areafacts, con-
cepts, and values. :
The next major section illustrates these
three levels with sets of questions related
to a variety of subject areas including
literature, history, math, physics, foreign
languages, home economics, art, music,
and bookkeeping. In -relation .to the Civil
War, for example, the teacher might ask,
at the facts level; "Who was Robert E.
Lee?" On the concept level, a teacher
might ask, "What qualities or events make
a hero or a villain?" In order to probe into
the' values level, one might ask, "Under
what circumstances wbuld'you kill a per-
son?"
The last major section of the bookillus-
trates the application of 15 value clarifying
strategies or activities with environmental
education content. The strategies include
value sheets (short readings and a set of
questions), Tank orders (three or four
alternatives. ordered according to 'personal
prefeyence), unfinjshed sentences ("I.

It is the authors' belief that "through
scomposition, students can become more
aware bf the congruence or disparity be-
tweerf'their values and their actions; more
aware of the forces causing disparity and
the skills needed to effect congruence."
The guide consists of nine chapters with
the firit one devoted to an explanation of
the personal growth approach to basic
composition. This approach contrasts with
the traditional approach in various ways,
including. motivation, content, and tasks.
The personal growth approach requires
that the subject be meaningful to the stu-
dent and that feedback be descriptive and
come from peers. Chapters 2 through 5
contain self:analysis and clarification ac-
tivities designed to elicit personal informa-
tion that students can use in their composi-
tions. The topics deal with inde'ntity,
interpersonal relations, values, and pet-
sorial growth: Chapters 6 and 7 give both

into three processes (choosing values, priz-

deeply before the individual or group is

Valuing Exercises for the Middle,;School


presents teachers with a. usable fOrMat for
'teaching values c larification. objectives. The
authors believe that the main goal of middle
. schools is to help students acquire skills in
the process of values- clarification. .The
strategy they suggest for accomplishing this -
goal is the value Sheet; a carefully planned
written exercise. These sheets form the link
between course content and-the goal of val-
ues clarification. This monograph proyides
r
examples of six types of value sheets which
teachers are encouraged, to copy or modify
and to try out in their own classes.
There are, two major sections to this
monograph,. The first introduces and defines
the value kfieet, its purposes, and its objec-
tives. The authors stress that value sheets are

studies, language arts,' and science, so that a -

of study. Each, sheet must have .a social or
scientific ,contost in which a 'situation for
valuing is presented. Six formats for writing
valtfe sheets have been identified. These are
standard, forced-cimice, affirmative, rank-
'order, classification, and criterion (see the
analysis of Value Clarification in the Class-
rOom: A.Primer earlier in'this sectionfor an-
explanation of the formats). Iii addition to.
the value sheets, four catagories of discus-
sion questions,are included: empirical, rela-
tiohar, valuing, and feeling:
In the second section of the monograph,

examples are specifically, written for a unit

cepts of justice and due process. Activities 4
include reading; writing, role play, class

tions for education. This theory postulates four levels of ,development. pre-
morality, external morality, external internal morality, and internal morality.

g. Piaget, Jean. Moral Judgment of the Child. New York, NY: Collier, 1962.
This book was the first to postulate the theory that structural change bases for
moral judgment existed within the person and were rooted both in the experience
of the person and in a developmental sequence determined largely by genetics.
From clinical studies of children's conceptions of rules in various common games
and of their ideas about cheating and justiee in hypothetical dilemmas, Piaget first
formulated a developmental theory of morality that included four stages. pre
moral, obedience to adult authority, autonomous-reciprocity, and autonomous-
ideal reciprocity.

4. Selected Research Studies and Articles: Moral Development


a. Blatt, Moshe. "The Effects 'of Classroom Discussion Programs upon Children's
Level of Moral Development." Unpublished doctoral dissertation. Chicago, IL.
University of Chicago, 1969.
One of the early studies that indicated that students who participated in group
44
discussions based on Kohlberg-type dilemmas progressed more than those who
did not. The progression was also found to be sequentialthat is, from Stage 2 to
Stage 3 or from Stage 4 to Stage 5.
b Leming, James S. "An Exploratory Inquiry into the Multifactqatieor;rnfMorai
Behavior Applied to Values Education." Paper presented arthe annuarrneeSig viAtzt.
of the American Educational Research Association, Washington, D.C., March
31, 1975t ED 110 354.
The purpose of this study was to determine if and to what degree several-factors
defined by John Wilson as being relred to moral behavior were related to stages
of moral reasoning as defined by Kohlberg and to choice of right action. One of
the findings suggests "that stage &moral reasoning when dealing with classical
moral dilemmas [e.g., ffelga in Nazi Germany] is more likely to be determined
by developmental considerations than is stage of moral reasoning on practical
dilemmas" (those relevant to students' life space).
c. Lieberman, Marcus. "Evaluation of a Social Studies Curriculum Based on an
Inquiry Method and a Cognitive-Developmental Approach to Moral Education."
Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American EducatiCnial Research
Association, Washington, D.C., April 1975. ED 106 175.
This study evaluated 'the effect of a social studies curriculum based on an
integration of Fenton's materials (see entry B-1-b) and Kohlberg's moral dilem-
mas. One finding indicated a significant difference in moral maturity scores
between classes that had moral discussions and those that did not. No difference
was found between teachers who attended a five-day workshop and those who
read a manual.
d. Simpson, Elizabeth L6onie. "Moral Development Research: A Case Study of
Scientific Cultural Bias." Human Development, 17 (1974) pp. 81-106.
In this article the author critically examines the research upon which Kohlberg's
hierarchy of moral development is based. The findings indicated "that the
definitions of stages and the assumptions underlying them, including the view
that the scheme is universally applicable, are ethnocentric and culturally-
biased."
e. Turiel, Elliott. "An Experimental Test of the Sequentiality of Developmental
Stages in the Child's Moral Judgment." Journal of Personality and Social
Psychology, 3 (1966) pp. 411-618.
This is one of the first studies of Kohlberg's theory to indicate that students can be
stimulated to develop to the next stage of moral reasoning by hearing arguitents
from that higher stage. The study also demonstrated that contact with reasoning
below or more than one stage above the stage of an individual will not lead to
moral development.'

A rationale is presented for a social studies program that emphasizes the analysis
of value systems and value judgments and explains and illustrates two models for
value inquiry. (1) a curricular model designed to assist teachers in developing a
values-oriented social studies curriculum and (2) a heuristic model consisting of a
-set of -instructional strategies for dealing with value judgments.

In a roundtable discussion with several other scholars, Scriven presents the
argument for a rational basis of morality. In the previous chapter, he discusses the
relation of values to education and the curriculum and suggests "it is still an open
question whether any values are needed that go beyond that which is supportable
by rational appeal to logical. analysis."

broader goal of developing environmental competence and that the school is
uniquely suited to achieving this objective. The curriculum development model
identifies those areas of competence related to this objective. formulating policy
goals (which includes "moral deliberation"), working for support of goals, and
resolving psycho-philosophic concerns. The appendix includes a list of organiza-
tions and projects throughout the country that support citizen action and commu-

Education." Paper presented at the annual meeting.of the National Council of the
Social Studies, Denver, November 1971. ED 065 404.

focuses on the interaction between students and their significant world and calls
for students' participatory commitment to the process of change.
b. Bigge, Morris L. Positive Relativism. An Emergent Educational Philosophy.
New York, NY: Harper and Row, 1971.
This book postulates the educational philosophy of positive relativism, which
stresses that "a person is a psycho-social being" and that "personal development
is largely a matter of individual-social development." The discussion of the
nature of values reflects this viewpoint.

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
d. Cherryholmes, Cleo H. Toward a Theory of Social Education. Washington,
D.C.: Office of Education, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare,
1971. 'ED 065 373.
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.
e. Dewey, John. Theory of Valuation (International Encyclopedia of Unified Sci-
ence, Vol. II, Pt. 4). Chicago, IL: University of Chicago, .1939.
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,"
f. Raup, R. Bruce, et al. The Improvement of Practical Intelligence. New York,
NY: Harper, 1950.
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.

This essay argues that practices allowing teachers to help students deal with
society in an effort to bring about needed social change and action would include
values clarification techniques, the methods of the social and physical sciences,
and the dialectical method.

An "emotive theory of values" is propounded, contending that values "are


simply expressions of emotion which can be neither true Nor false" and, thus, are
unverifiable. , . .

Rogers presents a theory of valuing that claems that the valuing process within a
person has an "organismic" base and evolves through three stagesinfant,
adult, and self-actualizing adult. The first stage, which conceives of valuing as a
flexible, changing, unconscious, and fully organismic process, closely relates to
the evocation approach to valuekeducation.
f. Samples, Robert E. "Value Prejudice: Toward a Personal Awareness."Media &
Methods, 11 (September 1974) pp. 14-18, 49-52.
Samples contends that since most important decisions are "based on emotion and
intuition, not logic and rationality," teachers should focus on the emotional
drives that underlie a person's value structure rather than on the rational expres-
sion of those values. He is co-director of an educational group called Essentia,
located at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. This group is
developing student and teacher curriculum materials designed to focus on the
intuitive-as well as analytical processes.

Conceptual ApprOaches,
Materials Analyses,
and an Annotated Bibliography

,Values education resources are proliferating through the attempt of educators to


deal with values problems in and out of the classroom. The Values Education
Sourcebook is a unique guide to the bewildering variety of these resources.

This book is designed to provide useful, well-organized information about


values education goals, methods, and materials so that educators can make
informed curriculum decisions concerning the teaching of values and valuing
processes.
..
The Sourcebook contains detailed explanations of five approaches to value
education, concise analysis-summaries of nearly 100 student and teacher
resources, and an annotated bibliography of over 400 citations of curriculuin
_ materials, theoretical background works, research studies, film catalogs, and
journal articles related to values education.
