Education for Values - Morals, Ethics and Citizenship in Contemporary Teaching (Paperback)

Academics across the world continue to debate the topic of values in education. Whether the focus for discussion is how we teach values, the values of teaching itself, or the role of values in the education of educators, it is clear that no education system - compulsory, post-compulsory or higher - can avoid the issues of citizenship, morals or ethics. This challenge - to further contribute to democratic, civilized and inclusive societies - is comprehensively and positively addressed in this wide-ranging guide.;The book brings together an international group of authors, critically considering the role and future of education and values in five structured parts. It first delineates and presents a range of approaches to teaching values. These are then developed and illuminated in parts that consider issues in education in values, teacher development and education and educational research in and for values education. It concludes with a section of comparative studies that place the issues in an international context.
