Education for Values: Morals, Ethics and Citizenship in Contemporary Teaching

Values in education - how they are taught, the ethics of teaching itself, plus their role in the education of educators - is an area of lively and sometimes passionate debate. This book provides an essential resource of ideas, issues and current practice for all those with an interest in this area of education. Presenting a range of critical writing, this book deals with issues in education in values; approaches to teaching values; teacher education and values; research for education in values; and international comparative studies. Highly regarded when it was first published in hardback in 2000, the book now appears in paperback for the first time with a new introduction which updates the main ideas and themes of the book.
