 VALUES
• For Psychologists, it is that which
makes something desirable, attractive,
worthy of approval, admiration, that
which inspires feelings, judgments, or
attitudes of esteem, commendation;
that which is useful in view of certain
ends (Esteban, 1990). Values
motivate, inspire, or lead you to
choose and reach your goals in life.
• The sociologists view values as goals
of personal behavior during social
interactions. They are those that are
considered important for the welfare
of the members of a group. They are
common to all of them and represent
their concept of what is good and
desirable for everyone. They are also
what people see, hear, perceive, and
appreciate.
•In a society there exists a
value system, a configuration
of cultural practices, the
dominant motivations and
basic principles of their
behavior; cultural ethics that
binds them together, their
concept of what is important
and the desired reactions and
responses to situations.
• Values are transcendent beliefs and
moral precepts one learns from
teachers of religion while for parents
they are the ideals or virtues which
they try to inculcate to their children.
Professional educators view values
as totality of objective, universal
truths and standards that should
govern man’s decision, motivations,
conduct, and aspirations.
 Moral Values
• The most basic definition of value.
• Moral values are universal truths which
man holds to be good and important;
they are the ethical principles which the
struggles to attain and implement in his
daily life. They are the ideals which
transcend all time and space; those
which are valid for all men regardless of
race or religion; the ones which unite
strangers, families, nations – all of
humanity – with God (Esteban 1990).
 Two Kinds of Values
• Absolute Moral Values – absolute because no human
being is exempted, every human being is called to
uphold and live by them during his lifetime. They are
universal because they are common to all people and
are based on human nature which is universal.
• Cultural Behavioral Values – behavioral values are the
inner personal responses or incentives which prompt a
person to act in a certain way. Cultural values are the
modes of conduct of a group or society.
• Behavioral and Cultural values are changeable
and internal; they emerge from within man,
individually or collectively, and lead to the
fulfillment of more immediate goals. They are
each man’s views, attitudes, or inclinations
which are prompted by inner senses, emotions,
thoughts, motives, experience, and training.
They are customs and traditions which are
expressed and transmitted in interpersonal
relationships.
•For example, in western culture
people value open, frank, and
clear interpersonal relationships
while Asians conduct
themselves in ways which they
perceive will preserve
harmonious relationships and
self – esteem. Hiya, Pakikisama,
utang na loob are examples of
Filipino cultural values.
 Value of a Teacher
•Teaching is one of the most important jobs
in our society, as educators play a crucial
role in helping to influence learners and
shape their lives. As such, teachers who
commit themselves to teach often hold
specific values that motivate and drive them
to dedicate their lives to others. Teachers
have a special responsibility to foster values.
• Their purpose is to help to clarify
the meaning of values and ensure
that all learners understand and
share the same principle. To
promote and implement these
values requires an understanding
that they are mirrored in each of
the teacher’s actions and decisions.
• Values are taught when teachers
foster them in a daily life.
The Core Filipino Values
