Preferred term

values clarification  

Definition

  • Since the middle of the 20th century, moral education in the public schools has involved efforts to inculcate in students a given set of moral values or to encourage students to discover their own values. In an attempt to avoid “indoctrination,” several educators in the mid-1960s, such as Louis Raths, Sidney B. Simon, Leland Howe, and Howard Kirschenbaum, advocated a reform in moral education known as values clarification. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Values Clarification]
