It aims to train students' hearts and minds by instilling important values like empathy, creative thinking, life skills, and interpersonal skills. Value-based education has a cognitive component that stimulates thinking outside the box and reframing of thoughts. It involves putting learners in situations that enable them to think, reason, question, reflect, and act. The goal is to trigger discussions and reflections that generate creative responses concerning the development of students' total personality in a moral, intellectual, spiritual, aesthetic, emotional, and social sense.
Moral education
Moral education aims to teach good behavior and values to help children develop a sense of politeness and lawfulness. It involves inculcating ideals and principles to bring about positive behavioral change. While some believe morality is innate, others argue children are born with the capacity to become moral beings but need guidance from parents, teachers, and rules. Effective moral education approaches include community service, focusing on virtues each month, and problem-based learning where students help decide the curriculum. As future educators, the reporter's role will be to make positive changes in students through moral education.
