Informed by the most up-to-date research from around the world, as well as examples of good practice, this handbook analyzes values education in the context of a range of school-based measures associated with student wellbeing. These include social, emotional, moral and spiritual growth – elements that seem to be present where intellectual advancement and academic achievement are being maximized. This text comes as ‘values education’ widens in scope from being concerned with morality, ethics, civics and citizenship to a broader definition synonymous with a holistic approach to education in general. This expanded purview is frequently described as pedagogy relating to ‘values’ and ‘wellbeing’. This contemporary understanding of values education, or values and wellbeing pedagogy, fits well with recent neuroscience research. This has shown that notions of cognition, or intellect, are far more intertwined with social and emotional growth than earlier educational paradigms have allowed for. In other words, the best laid plans about the technical aspects of pedagogy are bound to fail unless the growth of the whole person – social, emotional, moral, spiritual and intellectual, is the pedagogical target. Teachers and educationalists will find that this handbook provides evidence, culled from both research and practice, of the beneficial effects of such a ‘values and wellbeing’ pedagogy.

This book presents and argues for a moral theory which draws on most of the major theoretical positions to some degree, but it also spells out the limits and boundaries of a moral theory. In doing so, it exposes a number of common confusions and misunderstandings about morality, and presents a strong argument for some indisputable truths in relation to the moral sphere. Divided into four parts, the book covers the key issues within moral philosophy: part one provides a lucid and powerful account of the nature and limits of moral theory, sharply distinguishing it from religion part two outlines a positive moral theory by exploring the defining principles of morality and the reasons for being moral part three distinguishes moral values from others such as ecological, health and safety and sexual values part four is concerned with the implications of our moral understanding for moral education. While this book concentrates on argument and ideas, a commentary to each chapter provides historical context and contemporary reference points. It will prove an invaluable resource for students of both Education and Philosophy.

This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice. Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term "pedagogical model" over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners’ cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are distinctive and unique to each model. It examines the core principles underpinning the pedagogical models that make up MbP, including pedagogical models as organising centres for program design and as design specifications for developing local programs. The book also explores how a common structure can be applied to analyse pedagogical models at macro, meso and micro levels of discourse. Having created a language through which to talk about pedagogical models and MbP, the book concludes by identifying the conditions - some existing and some aspirational - under which MbP can prosper in reforming physical education. An essential read for academics, doctoral and post-graduate students, and pre-service and in-service teachers, Models-based Practice in Physical Education is a vital point of reference for anyone who is interested in pedagogical models and wants to embrace this potential future of physical education.

ISBN: 9788129100740

The Upanishads are a group of texts in Hindu sacred literature that are considered to reveal the ultimate truth and whose knowledge is considered to lead to spiritual emancipation. In the Upanishads, we find the finest flowering of the Indian metaphysical and speculative thought. They are utterances of seers who spoke out of the fullness of their illumined experience. Upanishad is derived from upa (near), ni (down) and sad (to sit). Hence, the term implies the pupils, intent on learning, sitting near the teacher to acquire knowledge and truth. There are over 200 Upanishads but the traditional number is 108. Of them, only 10 are the principal Upanishads: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prashan, Mundaka, Mandukya, Tattiriya, Aitareya, Chhandogya and Brihadaranyaka. This book is a forerunner in introducing these primary Upanishads to the uninitiated.

Teachers as Catalysts for Value-Based Education The book emphasizes the pivotal role of teachers in fostering value-based education (VBE). By acting as role models, curriculum designers, and facilitators of ethical discussions, teachers shape students' moral and ethical perspectives. Through behavior modeling, curriculum integration, and creating respectful environments, teachers lay the foundation for students’ value-driven character development​. Incorporating Core Values Across Educational Levels Value-based education aims to holistically develop students by nurturing intellectual, emotional, and ethical growth. The book highlights how embedding core values, such as empathy, respect, and responsibility, can foster a unified, ethical school culture. This approach aligns with traditional education and prepares students to be responsible members of society​(7. Research Papers). Need for Holistic Character Development The book underscores that education must go beyond academic skills, fostering empathy, resilience, and moral reasoning. Value-based education focuses on students' social and emotional learning (SEL), promoting emotional intelligence and well-rounded personal growth. This perspective encourages schools to prioritize SEL to equip students for personal and social challenges​/ Challenges and Recommendations for Value-Based Integration The integration of value-based education faces challenges, such as a lack of standardized curricula and the need for teacher training. To address these, the book suggests teacher training programs, policy support, and community involvement. By fostering collaborative engagement, value-based education can be more effectively implemented in diverse educational settings. Cultural Relevance and Inclusivity in Value Education Emphasizing cultural sensitivity, the book addresses how value-based education can respect and integrate cultural diversity. It explores teaching methods that encourage students to appreciate varied cultural backgrounds while developing universal ethical values, fostering a more inclusive and tolerant educational atmosphere. The Role of Digital Technologies in Modern Education The book explores how digital tools impact value-based education, particularly through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted disparities in digital literacy and access. The incorporation of digital resources in education can be a double-edged sword, offering both opportunities for innovation and challenges in maintaining core educational values​
