WHAT DO WE MEAN BY VALUES?
• Values can be defined as "temptation, formfitting objectives, principles” that guide
people's lives, and have varying significance
• Values ​are the essence of our personality, and
effect us to make decisions, trust people,
arrange our time and energy in our social life.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Shalom H. Schwartz is social psychologist,
cross-cultural researcher, author of Theory of
basic human values (universal values as latent
motivations and needs).
• Schwartz’s theory of basic human values
discusses the nature of values and spells out
the features that are common to all values
and what distinguishes one value from
another.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
The theory identifies ten basic personal values
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Power
This takes value from social status and
prestige. The ability to control others is
important and power will be actively sought
through dominance of others and control over
resources.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Achievement
Value here comes from setting goals and then
achieving them. The more challenge, the
greater the sense of achievement. When
others have achieved the same thing, status is
reduced and greater goals are sought.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Hedonism
Hedonists simply enjoy themselves. They seek
pleasure above all things and may, according
to the view of others, sink into debauchery.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Stimulation
The need for stimulation is close to hedonism,
though the goal is slightly different. Pleasure
here comes more specifically from excitement
and thrills and a person with this driver is
more likely to be found doing extreme sports
than propping up a bar.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Self-direction
Those who seek self-direction enjoy being
independent and outside the control of
others. The prefer freedom and may have a
particular creative or artistic bent, which they
seek to indulge whenever possible.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Universalism
The Universalist seeks social justice and
tolerance for all. They promote peace and
equality and find war anathema except
perhaps in pursuit of lasting peace.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Benevolence
Those who tend towards benevolence are
very giving, seeking to help others and provide
general welfare. They are the 'earth mothers'
who nurture all.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Tradition
The traditionalist respects that which has
gone before, doing things simply because they
are customary. They are conservatives in the
original sense, seeking to preserve the world
order as is. Any change makes them
uncomfortable.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Conformity
The person who values conformity seeks
obedience to clear rules and structures. They
gain a sense of control through doing what
they are told and conforming to agreed laws
and statutes.
VALUES ACCORDING TO SCHWARTZ
• Security
Those who seek security seek health and
safety to a greater degree than other people
(perhaps because of childhood woes). Though
they may worry about the potential of military
force, they welcome the comfort that their
existence brings.
THE IMPORTANCE AND THE PLACE OF
VALUES IN HUMAN LIFE
• Values ​are the effective cultural elements
which shape the elements around the point of
view of individuals, members of a community
that holds together.
• With the values that show differences in
cultures, there is a case of values which are
universal and ethical that are accepted in all
cultures.
THE IMPORTANCE AND THE PLACE
OF VALUES IN HUMAN LIFE
• Respect, kindness, patience, tolerance, peace
and democracy are expected to be universal
values throughout Europe as well as many
countries.
WHAT IS VALUES EDUCATION?
• Value education helps people to develop
values ​and serve to establish an individual
fulfilling life. (Kirschenbaum, 1995).
• What teachers’ perceive as good or bad, what
they like or did not like can be seen as hidden
education in the classroom and at school
through values education.
WHAT IS VALUES EDUCATION?
However, values training should be
the part of formal education to
help children gain more universal
human mind (Doganay, 2006).
WHY DO WE NEED VALUES
EDUCATION?
• During training, the students not only an
understanding of the cognitive and psychomotor gains given, but also the individuals
that make up society, values, attitudes, and
etc. will result in failing to acquire affective
gains.
WHY DO WE NEED VALUES
EDUCATION?
• Therefore, the determination of social
coherence and common objectives will be
difficult or even impossible.
• This situation brings out a necessity of values
​education in schools. But the concepts and
issues related to values ​education can be
achieved by absorption by teachers (Printer,
2006).
VALUES EDUCATION IN PRESCHOOL
• Preschool is the first period that lays the
foundation of information on values.
• For information about the values ​of life will
continue to be found.
VALUES EDUCATION IN PRESCHOOL
• The first information not only gained in earlier
periods that begin and end in the period to
adolescence but also continues personality.
From now on, there can be changes on these
values but basic values have been developed.
VALUES EDUCATION IN PRESCHOOL
• Changing child’s wrong behavior is more
difficult than trying to develop a new
behavior.
• It’s critical to develop the child's personality in
a planned and systematic process in order to
prevent the wrong development of values
​education.
FACTORS AFFECTING VALUES
EDUCATION
• Values education starts from families and
continuous at schools with the help of
educators. Because of this, families, teachers
and educational programs are crucial for
values education.
FACTORS AFFECTING VALUES
EDUCATION
• Families are the first source of information so
they should be careful about their behavior
and attitudes as children see them as a model.
FACTORS AFFECTING VALUES
EDUCATION
• Cooperation within families and teachers is
very important for the thing that affects the
children most is what the teacher does in
classroom. Besides this, education programs
must be reorganized according to this
cooperation.
FACTORS AFFECTING VALUES
EDUCATION
• Also in this period by the help of educational
activities like seminars, conferences,
meetings; families can take an active part in
organizing these programs.
• So that, there can be an effective harmony
among families, educators and educational
programs.
EFFECTIVE EDUCATION METHODS

• Teachers play an important role in
transforming of values, so their techniques
and methods have a great importance.
