Infos

This book summarizes and updates findings from the Australian Values Education Program with a focus on the latest international research in the field, both theoretical and practice-based. Further, it provides a theoretical and practical basis for understanding the disenchantment with low-level accountability approaches to learning (e.g. NAPLAN in Australia). 

In turn, the book demonstrates the effectiveness of Values Education as a holistic pedagogy with the potential to enhance students' learning effects in terms of their personal, social, emotional and academic development. It offers well-tested alternative pedagogical approaches, based on research insights largely originating from actual classroom-based practice.

Terence Lovat was the Chief Investigator in the research and practice projects that ran as part of the government-funded Australian Values Education Program (2003-2010).  He is an extensively published academic author, including many books and journal articles arising from his Values Education work. He is also a regular keynote speaker at international conferences, chiefly on Values Education.
