Issues and Concerns in Children's Values Education
Values education is often controversial reflecting contradictory but deeply held beliefs by different sections of society as to what are core human values. There has also been a shift in how values education is taught in schools over the last 30 years. These changes are discussed along with recent intervention programs and the problems associated with the measurement of children's multidimensional values profiles. The paper outlines the design of the Children's Values Profile, a multidimensional instrument to assess children's self-perceptions of their values. It is argued that such an instrument would assist educators to systematically and objectively evaluate the effectiveness of values based intervention programs and identify the characteristics of students with high and low values scores, and the impact such scores had on students' educational outcomes and behaviour.
