Following the perceived breakdown of moral and social fabric and the diminishing role of traditional arbiters of morality and standards, more and more is being expected of schools and teachers in the guidance and control of children. It is a daunting task for educators at all levels of the education system to decide what values are appropriate, whose values are appropriate and how such values are addressed in the curriculum. Based upon an empiracle study involving training and practising teachers from seven countries, this book investigates the various attitudes and practices towards the teaching of values and their place in the curriculum. The findings of each of the countries are compared and contrasted in the light of the diverse cultural conditions which are apparent. This book brings together various approaches currently taken in values education and also suggests a theoretical foundation for decision making. The book culminates in practical examples, drawn from the evidence of the research project, which teachers can adapt for use with their own pupils. This book provides a challenging and imaginative perspective on values in education and comes at a time when educators face a new era which demands dynamic, transformative and reflective approaches.

Teacher education in a financial crisis - what are the consequences
and how can probity be maintained? Education, like most other parts
of everyday life, is experiencing the challenges brought about by
global financial constrictions. This book presents the experiences
and views of practising teacher educators from multiple countries
and continents on how the melt-down in world economics has affected
and will continue to affect teacher education and concomitant
experiences in schooling. The ramifications are seen to extend into
every aspect of teacher preparation, continuing staff development
and teacher support, and there are significant implications for the
quality of teaching and learning, and the ethos and standing of the
process of education as a whole. Drawing on educational theory and
social, political, and economic discourses, the book addresses
issues such as policy, philosophy, organisation, funding,
resources, modes of teaching and learning, curricular change,
recruitment and retention, amongst others, and provides a snap-shot
across diverse contexts. It aims to provide an evaluative,
analytical but reflective picture of teacher education in the light
of the world economic crisis, whilst exploring good practice and
suggesting future strategies to develop the quality of teacher
education and professional support, teaching and learning. The
volume provides an insight into the need for a new paradigm for
teacher education: one that involves teacher educators in devising
a discourse of positive and radical change. It will be a valuable
resource for teacher educators, educational leaders, policy makers,
educational commentators and teachers seeking to engage with the
scholarship of teaching as a means to engage in continuous
professional development.
