METHODOLOGY

Value education teaches us to preserve what ever is good and worthwhile ,in what we have inherited from our culture.According to our curriculum we have to take 2 education classes.I was allotted a school for teaching practice.l selected respect and helping mentality for value education class.Our school induction is started on august 7,2023 and end in November 30th.

Value education class 1: Respect

Planing

As a part of our BE.d curriculum we have to take two value education classes.I select the topics respect and helping mentality.so I prepared a lesson plan and learning materials as per the instruction of our teacher. I prepared a activity card and ppt for class.l took the classes for 8th standard students.

Execution

I started a class with asking question,when the teacher comes to the class, what will you do.They responded the question.Then I introduced the topic respect to the class.Then in the first activity l will explain a situation.The situation is ,we are travelling in a bus.And suddenly a old man comes  into the bus what will you do.All students are responded to the question.Then in the next activity teacher gives a activity card including some situations and asked the students to find out the respectful situations.Then in the next activity I will show a picture of different culture ,and explain the importance of respecting others culture,religion etc.The last activity was to make s poster about respect.

Evaluation

Students were interested as it was something different from their regular classs.Through this class I understood that encouraging respect in our classroom also promotes values,equity an inclusion.  Another benefit of respect is that it encourages individuality.Because the presence of respect creates acceptance.children are more likely to feel confident and express themselves freely.

Value education class 2: Helping mentality

Planning 

The second topic of value education was helping mentality.so I prepared a lesson plan and learning materials as per the instruction of our teacher.l prepared a ppt and activity cards.

Then I explain the helping of other persons in a situations.Then next shows some pictures about helping situations and convey the message of helping others.In the last activity students share their experiences .Helping others improve social interactions,and self esteem.It is essential to develop helping mentality in childrens.

Evaluation

Through this class I understand that helping others can also improve our support network and encourage us to be more active.Thus in turn ,can improve self esteem, serving others is good for our mental health ,our   emotions well being.


CONCLUSION

Value education is a process of helping the individuals to think freely and critically to act responsibly and with courage and conviction.Value education is a planned educational action aimed at the development of proper attitudes, values,emotions,and behaviour pattern of the learner.Value education plays a important role in personality development.Education will be incomplete if it didn't involve the study of human values.In today's world, there are Several moral crises taking place, the need for Value education is essential.It is an essential element of whole person education which aims at fostering students proper values and attitudes Through the learning .
