PROCESS OF MAKING TEACHERS AND INCULCATION OF VALUES

The process of acquiring values begins at birth. Values develop through life and evolve from life experiences. They are formed by combining: intellect, will, emotions and spiritual needs. Simply stated, values are beliefs on certain way of behaving on certain life goals. A value is a guide, a norm a principle by which a person lives. Values have seven criteria. These are : 1. A value must be chosen freely. 2. A value must be chosen from alternatives. 3. A value must be chosen after considering the consequences. 4. A value must be performed. 5. A value becomes a pattern of life. 6. A value is cherished. 7. A value is publicly affirmed. Value inculcation is building of values in our inner core. This is a process that happens unconsciously since we start learning, but it is conscious as we start learning about values in schools. This happens when schools give us the moral education. Schools use four chief methods in moral education.
