- Description
- The National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools (Commonwealth of Australia, 2005) was conceived as a means of addressing a perception that values were missing from public education. Numerous documents and programs at state and federal levels have reinforced the importance of this issue. The recent focus on Values Education in schools highlights the need for a similar focus in preservice teacher education. This paper examines how Values Education has been incorporated in an authentic task for preservice teachers, leading to its embodiment in an integrated unit of work on a Stage 3 cultural study of Bali, with a view to improving citizenship skills and attitudes for all students. The resultant teaching program incorporates values education effectively. It is argued that designing teaching programs around a values focus is an effective method for producing quality teaching programs, and that values education can be integrated authentically in teacher education courses.
