How many of you have a religion?
On a 1/8 sheet of paper, I would like you to construct a question.
VALUES CLARIFICATION
VALUES CLARIFICATION - is a self-assessment process that enables you to discover the content and strength of your own system of values -its goal is for you to become fully conscious of their influence, and to explore and honestly acknowledge what you truly value at this time in your life. - Developed by Louis Raths, Merril Harmin, and Sidney Simon
VALUES CLARIFICATION Our values are influenced by: Family Community Individual Experiences Religion Culture Political Leaders
VALUES CLARIFICATION As aspiring teachers, our future students, especially those in their adolescence, are living in a confusing world where they must continually make choices.
VALUES CLARIFICATION The purpose of values clarification approach is to give students experience in valuing to enable them answer the questions that really concern them.
VALUES CLARIFICATION Involves a series of strategies which are not guilty of forcing one set of right values down the throats of all students.
VALUES -are your ideas about what is most important to you in your life what you want to live by and live for. They are the silent forces behind many of your actions and decisions.
VALUES SHARING
Chosen freely: you have ultimately chosen it yourself V A L U E S Chosen from among alternatives: without two or more alternatives there is no choice and no true value. Chosen after consideration of consequences: after reflection on positive and negative consequences Prized and cherished: the key is the enthusiasm associated with the value. Publicly affirmed: you are willing to acknowledge it and if confronted by another person you would not deny it. Acted upon: unless acted upon it is not a value, but rather a good idea or belief. Part of a definite pattern of action: a single act alone does not constitute a value.
V A L U E S According to Abramowitz and Macari, in the book of Raths, Simon and Harmin Values Clarification and New Strategies on Values Clarification: people with very few values tend to be conforming, apathetic, inconsistent, and often very ambivalent, all of which seems quite sad when one realizes the extent to which values should guide a man s life.
VALUES VALUES CLARIFICATION CLARIFICATION STRATEGIES STRATEGIES Credits: 1972, Mildred W. Abramowitz and Claudia Macari of Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
Love to do best of all Things you do alone Things you love to do with other people Date of the last time you did each of these 20 things Credits: 1972, Mildred W. Abramowitz and Claudia Macari of Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
For example, the following problem is given to the students as a strategy for alternatives search: You are walking home and as you approach the building in which you live, you see a man and woman standing in a doorway. They are arguing loudly and violently. Suddenly the man pulls the woman by the hair and slaps her face, punches her in the eye. She screams again and again and calls for help.

This strategy involves decision making, evaluating, weighing consequences, judging in a very realistic way. The student has to become totally involved in the problem At hand because he has important choices to make. Credits: 1972, Mildred W. Abramowitz and Claudia Macari of Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
Directions: The student is given three statements And he must choose which would be hardest for him to do or tolerate as a first choice; second choice, less hard; third choice, easiest for him to do or tolerate. Example: You are a Congressional Committee in Washington, DC. $10,000,000 has been given for three worthy causes. Which would you do first, second, third? You must spend the money on one thing. a. Use of money to clean up river garbage, sewage and pollution. b. Train those who do not have a job. c. Divide the money among 10,000 families. Credits: 1972, Mildred W. Abramowitz and Claudia Macari of Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
