VALUE ORIENTED EDUCATION

Means of Value Oriented Education:

Values relate to the aims of human life. For realisation of aims,

mainframe certain notions. These notions are known as values.

Values refer to objects that we people cherish and desire and

consider the desirable and worthy of acquisition. These may be

material objects life ford, clothing, house, etc. and abstract

qualities and ideas like truth, beauty goodness, peace,

happiness, etc.

Definition of Value Oriented Education:

According of A.K.C. Ottway, Religious, philosophical and

ideological aspects of culture are considerable as values the

guiding social aims and religious belief of people are ideas they

think worthwhile of which they attach values.

Need & Importance of Value-oriented Education:

1. Many people believe that the only remedy for all maladiesin the society is the generation of ideals and high values in

man. Value oriented education to children is the best

possible way. Our country of tomorrow is going to be what

the young pupils at school, college and university today

will make it.

2. Unprecedented explosion of knowledge in science and

technology in current decades has changed the life styleof people. So, value education should find a place in the

curriculum for the development of human consciousness.

3. Now young people should be employment as something

inferior to white-collar jobs. This sort of feudal attitude is

a terrible impediment towards our national development.

In that situation, he has to take his own decision.

4. A sense of self confidence and pride is essential for anindividual or nation. But in India very few people are quite

conscious of their rich and high heritage of hoary past.

This is major implemediment for national upsurge.

5. Problems of youth are mounting day by day up. They learn

more thing about the society and his/her teacher. But inpractical field they have little relevance. So, they become

frustrated and have lost faith in society. The poses a

serious challenge to our quality of life.

6. Besides the above factors casteism, communalism,

regionalism, linguism, etc. stand as stumbling block to our

developing sense of nationalism and internationalism.

Methods of Impairing Value-oriented Education:

The most significant aspect of value oriented education I show

to impart children values through education. We can categories

all these broadly into three namely.

(I) Direct Method

(II) Indirect Method

(III) Informal or Incidental Method

Direct Method:

It means that value education can be imparted directly to the

students in the classroom. It emphasizes on systematic,

planned and deliberate instruction of different values to

children. Pupils are taught necessities of different values in life.

As they are given opportunity to develop certain good habits in

their personal and social life.

Indirect Method:

Since our curriculum is overloaded most people are not in

favour of keeping separate in the time table for value

education. So they are of the opinion that value education can

be imparted indirectly through existing curricular and co-

curricular activities.

Curricular Activities: Different text books are prescribed tostudents for study. These text books really are reservoirs of

values, values are inherently woven in almost all subjects, a

good and sincere teacher explores the facts of values hidden.

In the topics, SUPW programmes in school develop work value

and love for manual work. It fosters co-operative values which

have greater impetus in developing value consciousness in

pupils.

Co-curricular activities: Value education can be effectively

disseminated through the organisation of different co-curricular

activities. Values like co-operation, team spirit fellow feeling

tolerance, environmental consciousness, democratic living,

secularism, etc. are cultivated through proper organisation of

different co-curricular activities. e.g.: Games & sports, NCC,NSS, Red Cross, Boys Scout, Girls Guide, Field Trip, Study tour.

Aims & Objectives of Value Oriented Education:

i. To develop total personality i.e. cognitive, conative, and

affective three faculties of mans personality.

proper emotions and to internalize values in word anddeed.

iii. To develop in children moral, aesthetic, cultural and

spiritual values.

Role of the Teacher in Value Oriented Education:

The teacher of a modern has to play a very important one in

value oriented education. A teacher of a modern school should

remember the following principles:

security in the school.

Problems of Value Oriented Education:

Value education involves the development of sensitivity to

values. It implies the ability of individual to choose right values

according to his concept of the highest ideas of lies. Interlisingthem realizing them in life & practicing in life. It is therefore, a

long and life long process.

Conclusion:

Certain values have no universal applicability and utility. A

value acceptable to one may not suit another. A value may be

good for the goose but may not be good for the gander. Values

have relevance to specific situations. Only certain values are

not useful to all for all times. As such value education should

change from time to time. Different philosophical school of

thought have different views regarding the origin and

applicability of values.
