VALUE EDUCATION

The concept of value education is not new. Ancient civilizations have long recognized the importance of imparting values to younger generations. From the teachings of Socrates and Confucius to the moral philosophies of Mahatma Gandhi, history is replete with examples of thought leaders who emphasized the importance of values in personal and societal development. However, as societies evolve, so too must our approaches to value education.

This book is structured to provide a holistic view of value education. We begin with an exploration of its definitions and historical perspectives, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of its importance in contemporary society. The theoretical foundations are then examined, drawing from various philosophical, psychological, and sociocultural perspectives.
