Values and Moral Education
Values education forms the core of the nation’s educational endeavor. It directs all the other educational activities that each Filipino student undertakes. It provides an avenue for students to acquire knowledge, hone skills, acquire and cultivate certain values and attitudes, and develop certain habits.
It is then imperative that values education be taught to Filipino students by teachers who have, and who know, the fundamental and advance skills, content, and methods/strategies involved in values education instruction. Such values education instruction involves both the implicit and explicit development of positive attitude toward the subject “values education” in particular, and a deeper sense of moral obligation in general.
This national seminar-workshop aims to draw the participant’s attention to the important role that Values and Moral Education play in Philippine Society’s attempt to turn out educated individuals and citizens. The attainment of this end requires that schoolteachers are equipped with clear and precise knowledge of tenable goals, content, and pedagogy of Values and Moral Education.
Objectives
At the end of the seminar workshop the participants should be able:
1. To state clearly the place of values education and moral reasoning in the context of formal education.
