4. “The human value concept…[is]
able to unify the apparently diverse interests of all the sciences
concerned with human behavior.”….Rokeach.
Various Definitions:
a) Roketch:
Value is defined as enduring belief, a specific mode of conduct or end state of existence along with
continuum of importance.
b) Kluchhohn:
Value is a conception of desirable and not something desired.
c) Shaver:

d) Gawande:
It is an adjusted human behavior which is conductive to the development of himself, society, nation and
international understanding.
When human values are inculcated through curriculum to transcend to cognitive, affective and
psychomotor level for conducive development of individual, society, national and international
understanding, it is called value education.

5. Value Education
as Holistic
education
The concepts of morality, ethics, duty, honesty, sincerity,
kindness and compassion should be imparted to each person.
Each person should know how to adjust with others and be
prepared to sacrifice his whims and pleasures for the benefit of
the group or family so as to avoid conflict and live in harmony.
Individuals who are living engrossed in sensory engagement
cannot understand the detrimental results of their own actions.
It is the responsibility of elders and enlightened people the best
way of life, and then disseminate the knowledge through all
available media. Such a planned method of living should be
inculcated as a holistic education in all institutions to truly civilize
all people, whatever may be their other fields of study.
Through holistic education, each person should know himself as
completely as possible, i.e., his body mind, knowledge,
consciousness, genetic center, and brain function, including the
process of storing and releasing all the experiences of life.
In the earlier age of life it is necessary for everyone to be given
these education for prosperity, happiness and peace of the
society. Because of a lack of these imperative systems of
education poverty, crime, conflicts, problems in life and wars
emerge. Absence of such proper education results in the
torturing of mankind and suppressing the development of
consciousness. The purpose of life is being lost.
As a result of holistic education one
would know the values of human
life like
•How to respect others
•How to be aware and avoid doing
harm
•Being ready to help others in all
possible ways.
These values are the culmination of
our inborn sixth sense and their
implementation is the very purpose
of human birth.

6. Significance of Value
Values play a significant role for the promotion and realization of human rights in any society.
Values help to crystallize any legal action and play a very important role in the development of a
society. The strict adherence of each of these values not only helps in the realization of human
rights but to establish the concept of one world as envisaged by international law.
The values such as dignity, liberty, equality justice, ethics, and morals et.al., have had their
significant impact to shape the human relations in a society. Being the main function of law, it
absorbs all the essential tools from every field of study with a critical outlook and help to
analyze each issue and lay norms to develop a rational human mind to achieve maximum results
in their inter-relationships with each other.
Acc. To Martin Luther King “The prosperity of a country depends not on the abundance of its
revenues, not on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings; but on
its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character.”

7. Aim of Education & Value Education
Aim of education is all round development of individuals i.e. intellectual, mental and functional
development. Though cognitive and conative domains are developed through today’s educational
system, affective domain cannot receive its proper place.
If moral, social and spiritual values are exchanged through the media of subject& content, emotional
development will easily be possible. Following are the chief aims of education:
1. Knowledge
2. Understanding
3. Application
4. Skill
5. Interest and aptitude
6. Appreciation
7. Inculcation of human values

8. Evolution of Value-Oriented Education
Formation of character through education had its important place in Indian education system
right from the Vedic period. Till at the end of Sixteenth century, the place of character
formation through education was unquestionable. The medium of character formation
through education was religious and therefore religious institutions tried to educate persons in
character building during their period and sphere. Inclusively after the arrival of Britishers in
India, the aim of Indian education was changed. The aim of education to them was thus very
limited. Some functional literacy including knowledge of subjects were introduced. In the
Education Commission of 1882 only, moral education was recommended.
In pre-independence and after independence, several commissions and committees
recommended character education, religious education and moral education. According to
National Education policy of 1986, moral and religious education were broadly defined and
coined into value education.
