VALUES EDUCATION
Values Values comes from the Latin word “valere” which
01 means to measure the worth of something.
Formation
Through A value has been defined as any object, activity or
02 frame of mind that a person considers to be very
Community important in his/her life.
Service
Values as especially important to understanding
03 human behavior.
Values education is founded on a sound
04 philosophy of the human person with all its
philosophical ramifications and implications
THE MEANING OF A MAN AS A PERSON
The term person cannot be exclusively attached to
human being since not all persons are considered human beings
and vice versa
Man’s co-existence with others does not require a
learning process or experience because it is inherent in his
being as a person. However, the quality of his relationship with
others needs a process to make it worthy and lasting.
The Self
One way of understanding oneself is to consider
it as a personal role that one plays in the general
drama of life.
In understanding our selfhood, there are
certain moral obligations that arise. The
obligation to see that life is “lived” to its fullest.
He should play his role as best as he can and
not neglect it.
Where Values Come From
Our personal values are formed in early childhood
and affected strongly by both the values of our
parents, the environment, the school, the church and
the government.
