With reference to India.
Informed by the most up-to-date research from around the world, as well as examples of good practice, this handbook analyzes values education in the context of a range of school-based measures associated with student wellbeing. These include social, emotional, moral and spiritual growth – elements that seem to be present where intellectual advancement and academic achievement are being maximized. This text comes as ‘values education’ widens in scope from being concerned with morality, ethics, civics and citizenship to a broader definition synonymous with a holistic approach to education in general. This expanded purview is frequently described as pedagogy relating to ‘values’ and ‘wellbeing’. This contemporary understanding of values education, or values and wellbeing pedagogy, fits well with recent neuroscience research. This has shown that notions of cognition, or intellect, are far more intertwined with social and emotional growth than earlier educational paradigms have allowed for. In other words, the best laid plans about the technical aspects of pedagogy are bound to fail unless the growth of the whole person – social, emotional, moral, spiritual and intellectual, is the pedagogical target. Teachers and educationalists will find that this handbook provides evidence, culled from both research and practice, of the beneficial effects of such a ‘values and wellbeing’ pedagogy.
Throughout human life, there is a continuity of running behind different needs which may or may not be satisfied. At the same time, due to rapid and unexpected changes in the society and environment, human personality and the behavior are being affected. Living in a society, to lead a healthy and successful life, there is a need to compromise and build a harmonious relationship with the society and environment. And this compromise between the needs of the individual and the demands of the community in which one lives is termed as “Adjustment” by many psychologists. The concept of “Adjustment” was first given by Darwin, who used it as an adaptation to survive in the physical world. Adjustment is an essential factor in the life of human, which is a continuous process and ends with life.
This book, jointly authored by two distinguished philosophers and two prominent social scientists, has an ambitious aim: to improve decision-making in education policy. First they dive into the goals of education policy and explain the terms "educational goods" and "childhood goods," adding precision and clarity to the discussion of the distributive values that are essential for good decision-making about education. Then they provide a framework for individual decision-makers that enables them to combine values and evidence in the evaluation of educational policy options. Finally they delve into the particular policy issues of school finance, school accountability, and school choice, and they show how decision makers might approach them in the light of this decision-making framework. The authors are not advocated particular policy choices, however. The focus instead is a smart framework that will make it easier for policymakers (and readers) to identify and think through what they disagree with others about.
"Value-Based-Education is highly needed in our modern society because our lives have become more miserable. The quantity of education has considerably increased, but the quality has decreased. Why? The number of educated people has reached at a high level, but murder, hatred, and selfishness have spread out like wildfire everywhere. Why? Many institutions are opened, but only few civilized people are produced. Why? Degrees are available for all, but the dignity has gone down. Why? Trained people are produced from many institutions, but sincere people are very few. Why? Many books are written; much research is done; many professional achievements are attained, but humanity is threatened. Why? Therefore, we need Value-Based-Education." Life is a matter of choices. In human life there are certain things looked upon as admirable, honorable, to be approved of and there are other things which entertain and please us but we may view them as not admirable, not honorable and not to be approved of. Indian heritage, culture & values need to be thoroughly studied, analyzed & incorporated comprehensively in the education system. In achieving the above goal we librarians can definitely help the educators. We can re-establish the self-confidence of the youth, show them the way of regaining their faith in themselves. Swami Chinmayananda in his "We Must" booklet states "All our success entirely depends upon ourselves. Let us never look outside ourselves for help. Let us not fall into the delusion that the influence of others would enable us to do better or accomplish more." He firmly says: "Spiritual education and religious practices make us realize that we are a part of a whole scheme, and the essential creativeness behind the whole universe is the essential Essence ruling in the heart of each one of us: ShivohamShivoham ." Incorporating Value-Based-Education in society will result in growth of character, growth in virtues like self-control, tolerance, selfless service, practice of prayer, harmony, to love all people, to help them in need & respect them etc... Man being the 'cast in the mold of God' cannot easily deny Him. Even the great scientists like Newton and Einstein have believed in the existence of God as an intelligent power regulating and guiding the destinies of the universe.
How can you effectively stand up for your values when pressured by your boss, customers, or shareholders to do the opposite? Drawing on actual business experiences as well as on social science research, Babson College business educator and consultant Mary Gentile challenges the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools. She gives business leaders, managers, and students the tools not just to recognize what is right, but also to ensure that the right things happen. The book is inspired by a program Gentile launched at the Aspen Institute with Yale School of Management, and now housed at Babson College, with pilot programs in over one hundred schools and organizations, including INSEAD and MIT Sloan School of Management. She explains why past attempts at preparing business leaders to act ethically too often failed, arguing that the issue isn’t distinguishing what is right or wrong, but knowing how to act on your values despite opposing pressure. Through research-based advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas, Gentile empowers business leaders with the skills to voice and act on their values, and align their professional path with their principles. Giving Voice to Values is an engaging, innovative, and useful guide that is essential reading for anyone in business.
Teachers as Catalysts for Value-Based Education The book emphasizes the pivotal role of teachers in fostering value-based education (VBE). By acting as role models, curriculum designers, and facilitators of ethical discussions, teachers shape students' moral and ethical perspectives. Through behavior modeling, curriculum integration, and creating respectful environments, teachers lay the foundation for students’ value-driven character development​. Incorporating Core Values Across Educational Levels Value-based education aims to holistically develop students by nurturing intellectual, emotional, and ethical growth. The book highlights how embedding core values, such as empathy, respect, and responsibility, can foster a unified, ethical school culture. This approach aligns with traditional education and prepares students to be responsible members of society​(7. Research Papers). Need for Holistic Character Development The book underscores that education must go beyond academic skills, fostering empathy, resilience, and moral reasoning. Value-based education focuses on students' social and emotional learning (SEL), promoting emotional intelligence and well-rounded personal growth. This perspective encourages schools to prioritize SEL to equip students for personal and social challenges​/ Challenges and Recommendations for Value-Based Integration The integration of value-based education faces challenges, such as a lack of standardized curricula and the need for teacher training. To address these, the book suggests teacher training programs, policy support, and community involvement. By fostering collaborative engagement, value-based education can be more effectively implemented in diverse educational settings. Cultural Relevance and Inclusivity in Value Education Emphasizing cultural sensitivity, the book addresses how value-based education can respect and integrate cultural diversity. It explores teaching methods that encourage students to appreciate varied cultural backgrounds while developing universal ethical values, fostering a more inclusive and tolerant educational atmosphere. The Role of Digital Technologies in Modern Education The book explores how digital tools impact value-based education, particularly through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted disparities in digital literacy and access. The incorporation of digital resources in education can be a double-edged sword, offering both opportunities for innovation and challenges in maintaining core educational values​
