Ethical Horizons: Journeying Into The Values Of Tomorrow's Teachers

Abstract

Human values perception is the set of principles that influence and guide people's attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions during the course of their life. Values are most often reinforced by society because its foundations are found in national culture, families, friends, teachers, and other environmental factors. Before the modern notions of values education and character education had even begun to take shape, the idea of moral education was at the forefront. It was thought to be crucial that people learn moral principles through indoctrination (Althof & Berkowitz, 2006). It comes from the Latin word "valare," which means strong or valuable (Bilgin, 1995).  The significance of teacher education and the influence of human values on the development of future leaders are the main topics of this paper. The article addresses the necessity of human values education being included into teacher education programs and offers illustrations of how higher education institutions might encourage value orientation among their constituents. The paper also looks at the codes of ethics that the teaching community has created and stresses how important it is for educators to perceive human values. This paper focused on the idea of how people perceive values. The paper addresses a recognized need to investigate how potential teachers perceive the significance of human values.
