Values Education
Value – comes from the Latin word “valere”, which means to have a vigor, a power to do a
specific thing in order to realize a certain urgent or demand for something important.
Values – refers to interest, pleasure, likes, preference, duties, moral obligations, desires,
wants, goals, needs, and many other kinds of selective orientations which serve as criteria
for action (Rokeach, 1979)
● A thing has valued when it is perceived as good and desirable. Food, money, and
housing have a value because they are perceived as good and the desire to acquire
them influences attitudes and behavior.
● Not only material goods but also ideals and concepts are valuable, such as truth,
honesty, and justice.
● Values are the bases of judging what attitudes and behavior are correct and
desirable and what are not.
