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.
