VALUE INDICATORS

By: Blesila A. Layola


• Value indicators are expressions or behaviors that can
help identify whether the person is “headed toward
values, but have not yet arrived”.
1. Expressions of purpose or aim

• This can be shown through sharing learner’s dream


during a class discussion or a simple conversion, in
which the teacher can ask if this is his/her own
idea/dream or suggested from someone. If this freely
chosen by him or her or he/she thought this for a long
time.
2. Aspirations

• Aspiration is connected to purpose or aim in life,


therefore, as a teacher it is our duty to help our leaners be
aware of if this dream is in line of his/her value.
3. Attitudes

• Values can be clearly seen through our learner’s attitude in


our class. It is shown how he/she relates it to you as
teacher and to his/her classmates. The manner he/she
talks or responses to a situation and also in a manner of
giving comments.
4. Interest

• Learner’s interest can be short-term or temporary.


• It is our duty as teachers to assist or guide them to
analyze their interest through the value clarification if it is
helpful in achieving their goals in life or if it is destroying
their dreams.
5. Feelings

• Feeling is an emotional state or reaction especially a vague or


irrational one.
• In this case, teachers can prompt the learner to rationalize or
think about her/his feelings by asking what makes her/him
feel that way, in what way you can control your feelings and
what do you think the consequences if this feeling prevails?
6. Belief and conviction

• Through one’s belief and conviction you can see his/her


values which a teacher must be cautious enough to
prompt the learner to think about his/her belief and
conviction by asking what makes her/him believe that
thing/opinion. That belief is also the belief of the whole
family or from others.
7. Activities

• Learners nowadays are into many activities and choosing


one reflects one’s value. If the learner is engaged to these
activities, it is also our duty to asked him/her if these
activities are helping him/her to reach his/her dreams.
How they choose the activities or is their someone
influencing him/her to do such activities?
8. Worries, problems, obstacles
• With these last indicators, the learner is far from learning the
values in life. If possible approaches which the learner might
take are ill-formed, the value clarification prompts can move
learner to firmer plans and actions. He/she is a victim of a
situation wherein values are not taught at home. And that is
the big challenge to the Values teachers or even subject
teachers per se to integrate values education in our different
subject areas.
Questions:
1. How important these Value indicators in determining the values of our learner?
2. Among the 8 indicators, what is/are the most overt indicator/s for you and why?
3. In my report I mentioned Value Clarification. What do we mean by Value Clarification and
how important this technique towards achieving values?
4. In your own opinion, what are the factors that lead to the deterioration of values in our
society?
5. In your opinion, what Filipino values our learner/s must develop or possess in order to
achieve life’s goal?
