Preface
The major purpose of this volume is to set out some of the key issues and
debates relating to the importance of values in education and of education in
values, and to stimulate discussion and reflection among teachers, administra-
tors, researchers and educational policymakers.
The volume has a twofold structure, one formal the other informal. At a
formal level, the structure falls in two parts. After an introductory chapter
about the concept of values and values education, Part I provides a variety of
perspectives on the values that underpin contemporary education: in theory
and practice, from the point of view of the government and the school, and
from the perspective of the growing diversity of modern society. Chapter 2
argues that education in western democratic societies is invariably grounded
on the fundamental liberal values of freedom, equality and rationality. In
Chapters 3 to 8, six groups of values are identified - spiritual, moral, environ-
mental, democratic, and those of the arts and of health education - and the
meaning and importance of these values for education is discussed. Chapter
9 examines the values behind government education policy and compares
these to the goal of educating the whole person. These chapters are by no
means based on a common ideology (nor are they necessarily a reflection of
the editors' own views), but their very diversity is designed to challenge taken-
for-granted views, to offer new insights and to encourage further discussion.
Part II focuses on school practice. The chapters examine a variety of ways
in which values may be incorporated into the activities of schools, and aim to
encourage further reflection on the processes of values education. Chapter 10
examines pupils' values in the light of their experiences at school. Chapter 11
suggests ways in which schools can develop a clear vision of their goals.
Chapter 12 examines school mission statements and the influence of these on
parents' choice of schools. Chapter 13 considers whole school issues and ways
of approaching values education within the school curriculum. Chapter 14
draws on the author's own experience as a recent headteacher of a multiethnic
inner-city school and describes the link between values education and the
school's ethos and structures. Finally, Chapter 15 examines the ethical impli-
cations of assessing children's personal development.
Alongside this formal structure is an undercurrent of debates about values
and education which surface from time to time throughout the book. These
vii
Preface
include the meaning and nature of values; the concept of education; the im-
pact of social change and cultural diversity; the relationship between religion
and values; children's developing understanding of values; the role of the
teacher; and the inspection of values education.
The book has its origins in a conference on Spiritual and Moral Education
held at the University of Plymouth in September 1993. Four of the chapters -
those by John Hull, Andrew Marfleet, Ruth Merttens and Jasper Ungoed-Thomas
- are revised versions of the papers they presented at that conference. The
remaining chapters have been written especially for this volume.
In addition to the authors of individual chapters, there are many others
who have contributed indirectly to this volume, both through conversations
and discussions and through practical and moral encouragement during the
pressures of writing. Our thanks are due to them all.

Values and Values Education in Schools
Before any of these questions can be considered, however, the first step is to
examine more closely what is meant by the term values.
Although several surveys of moral and social values in Britain and Europe
have been carried out over the last fifteen years (Abrams et al., 1985; Barker
et al., 1992), there is still much disagreement about the term 'values'. Values
have been variously defined as things which are considered 'good' in them-
selves (such as beauty, truth, love, honesty and loyalty) and as personal or
social preferences. Raths, Harrnin and Simon (1966, 28) describe values as
'beliefs, attitudes or feelings that an individual is proud of, is willing to publicly
affirm, has [sic] been chosen thoughtfully from alternatives without persuasion,
and is [sic] acted on repeatedly'. Fraenkel (1977, 11) considers values as being
'both emotional commitments and ideas about worth'. Beck (1990, 2) defines
values as 'those things (objects, activities, experiences, etc.) which on balance
promote human wellbeing'. Further definitions are suggested by several of the
contributors to the present volume (see in particular Chapters 4 and 6). In the
present chapter, however, the term values is used to refer to principles, funda-
mental convictions, ideals, standards or life stances which act as general
guides to behaviour or as points of reference in decision-making or the evalu-
ation of beliefs or action and which are closely connected to personal integrity
and personal identity.
This definition is open to criticism on the grounds that it fails to differen-
tiate quite distinct things like virtues, convictions and commitments and that it
treats values as a kind of possession, something which people have. It is true
that to talk of the value of something (as in the phrase value-added) has
5
Values in Education and Education in Values
always been to talk of its worth, and that when we value something we are
making a high estimate of its worth. However, the term values (in the plural)
now seems to be used to refer to the criteria by which we make such value
judgments, to the principles on which the value judgments are based. Thus
Shaver and Strong say
Values are our standards and principles for judging worth. They are
the criteria by which we judge 'things' (people, objects, ideas, actions
and situations) to be good, worthwhile, desirable; or, on the other
hand, bad, worthless, despicable 0976, 15).
This raises the question of whether the values by which we judge worth
are subjective or objective, relative or absolute. An initial distinction must be
made between merely personal value judgments or preferences (for example,
'I prefer heavy metal to country-and-western') and 'true' judgments of value,
which purport to have a more rational character (for example, 'that was a kind
act'). But this is not enough. For even within the latter group, it is possible to
distinguish a number of different points on a continuum:
In a monocultural society, the middle view as set out in the last paragraph
offers a clear basis for values education. Children will be introduced to the

Values in Education and Education in Values
The term values education has a much shorter history in England and Wales
than it has it North America, or even in Scotland. Nevertheless, a recent direc-
tory of research and resources in values education in the UK lists 113 entries,
made up of research projects, organizations, publications and other initiatives
(Taylor, 1994b). The establishment of the Values Education Council in the UK
in 1995 may prove an important turning point; it aims to bring together organi-
zations with a shared interest in values education, its purpose being 'the pro-
motion and development of values in the context of education as a lifelong
process, to help individuals develop as responsible and caring persons and
live as participating members of a pluralist society'. (Taylor, 1995:24)
The emphasis here on personal and social values, moral values and demo-
cratic citizenship is not intended to exclude other values. Indeed, recent offi-
cial publications tend to link moral with spiritual values (National Curriculum
Council, 1993; Office for Standards in Education, 1994a), and strong claims are
commonly made about links between moral and aesthetic values (cf. Jarrett,
1991) and between spiritual and aesthetic (Starkings, 1993). Other values fre-
quently mentioned in the context of the school include values relating to
8
Values and Values Education in Schools
There are two main problems with the character education approach. The
first is the difficulty of identifying appropriate values and ensuring a consistent
approach within the school; there is no shortage of lists, but often little agree-
ment between them (cf. Goggin, 1994; Lickona, 1988:8; Beck, 1990:148). The
9
Values in Education and Education in Values
second problem is that the approach pays too little attention to, and may be
in direct conflict with, the values that children learn outside the school, from
the home, the media and their peers. Thus it takes no account of how young
people make sense of these different sources of values (see Chapters 10 and
15).
The second view of values education, that it is centrally concerned with
teaching children to explore and develop their own feelings and values, has
been linked in North America particularly to the approach known as values
clarification. This approach, developed particularly by Raths, et al. (1966) and
Simon, Howe and Kirshenbaum 0972), is based on two assumptions: that
children will care more about values which they have thought through and
made their own than about values simply passed down by adults; and that it
is wrong, particularly in a pluralist society, to seek to impose values. According
to Raths, et al. (1966), legitimate valuing involves seven criteria: values must
be 1) chosen freely 2) from alternatives 3) after consideration of the conse-
quences, and an individual must 4) cherish, 5) publicly affirm, and 6) act on,
the value, and 7) do so repeatedly. Undoubtedly, values clarification can de-
velop confidence and self-esteem, but it has been criticized widely for being
rooted in a spurious relativism and for failing to recognize that it is possible
to make mistakes in matters of value (cf. Kilpatrick, 1992: Ch. 4). Values clari-
fication has rarely been advocated openly in the UK, though the influence of
its philosophy can be seen in the Humanities Curriculum Project (Schools
CounciVNuffield Humanities Project, 1970), and it may in fact underlie the
approaches of many texts and materials in use in schools.
Alternative approaches to teaching children to explore and develop their
own values include the moral reasoning approach and the just community
approach, both associated with Kohlberg (1981-1984). In moral reasoning,
children are presented with moral dilemmas and are encouraged to discuss
them in a way which it is intended will help them to see the inadequacies of
their current moral thinking and move to a higher level (Blatt and Kohlberg,
1975). The just community approach is designed to help students to develop
responsible moral behaviour by coming to share group norms and a sense of
community. A community cluster within a school is made up of about 100
students and five teachers who meet on a weekly basis to make rules and
discipline and to plan community activities and policies. The aim is to intro-
duce students to participatory democracy and to give them greater opportuni-
ties for self regulation and moral awareness (Kohlberg and Higgins, 1987).
These approaches, too, have been subject to strong criticism, as playing
down the social and cultural influences on people's values, underestimating
the need to learn basic values before tackling controversies and failing to take
adequate account of a more feminine ethic of care, responsibility and love
(Gilligan, 1992; Noddings, 1984).
Current thinking about values education tends to favour eclecticism. In
the USA, former proponents of values clarification tend now to support an
approach which combines the best of moral guidance and values clarification
10
Values and Values Education in Schools
(Harmin, 1988; Kirschenbaum, 1992). Similarly in the UK, Carr and Landon
0993) suggest that there are three main forms or processes of values edu-
cation: modelling and imitation; training and habituation; and enquiry and
clarification.
There is a diversity of methods used by teachers in values education even
at nursery level (Halligan, 1995). Discussion-based approaches and other stu-
dent-centred active learning strategies are most common, though Taylor
0994a:52) points out that more experiential and less didactic teaching and
learning approaches may be associated in pupils' eyes with low-status studies.
Other methods for values education include drama, project work, practical
activities, cooperative learning and group work, pupil-directed research, edu-
cational games and theme-days. Explicit teaching and learning methods make
up only part of a school's provision, however, and the implicit values educa-
tion which derives from the teacher as exemplar or from other aspects of the
hidden curriculum must not be underestimated.

Values in Education and Education in Values
Second, there is the problem of ensuring that schools are treated fairly; not all
schools start from the same base line, and it is possible that a school may not
always get credit for what it achieves against the odds. Third, it is difficult to
establish links between the educational provision of a school and changes in
attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviour on the part of the student. This is
because students will inevitably be subject to other social influences in addi-
tion to those of the school. Fourth, it seems ethically questionable to make
formal judgments about the personal development of students at all, let alone
in order to evaluate a school's educational provision (see Chapter 15). This last
point in particular has led to a recent shift in the criteria for inspection, with
a greater emphasis on the provision made by schools and less on the out-
comes observable in individual pupils.
Many teachers have understandably been less than enthusiastic about the
extension of inspection to cover spiritual and moral development; they may be
suspicious of the government's motives and may worry about overloading the
curriculum and about compromising the autonomy of the subject by making
it instrumental to goals not intrinsic to it. Above all, they may be confused by
the lack of clarity in the expectations that are now being placed upon them.
What is needed most is an attempt to address the issues more clearly and
systematically, perhaps through an informed national debate. It is this need
which the present volume is designed to address.
