Contribution
Amid the current global economic crisis, and all the consequences that it generates, the study of values and their importance, is of particular relevance. One of those consequences, are probably the many problems that are emerging within the field of education in European countries, and especially in Spain, where conflict and violence in the classroom have become more acute, worryingly. This warning has blown over, probably, we are living a crisis of values.
In this research, our primary objective is to determine whether teachers of different educational levels, Valencia (Spain), work values education at its center. And if they do, find out what methodological strategies used. To do this, use one of the questionnaires designed by the Interdisciplinary Group Theory of Education, University of Alicante (Spain). In addition, using this research tool will allow us to know the reasons why not develop a systematic and structured work values education, how to perform the evaluation and what weight is for teachers to develop skills related to the values in students.
Finally, we reflect on the issues that should be considered to implement a program of values education in schools.
The questions that guide and direct this research are:
Do teachers develop values education in your school? What are the reasons why teachers do not perform a systematic values education in your school?, How they work, teachers, education values in their schools?, What methodological strategies used by teachers to work in values education?, How do you evaluate teachers in values education?, What kind of skills relating to securities, teachers develop in their students?
The cultural plurality of our society makes us different views of education, and different value systems. In this century, it is obvious the influence of different socio-political systems on the educational policies of countries, and therefore, the existence of a common ideology of education. Therefore, we believe it is important to begin this research with changing educational axiology. This allows us to be clear about what values to convey in school, how we communicate the values, and in any case, how should we teach values.
