Lesson 1:
Values formation and you
Brenda B. Corpuz, Ph.D.

“Education in values means the
cultivation of affectivity, leading the
educand through exposure to an
experience of value and of the
valuable.”
R. Aquino
The question that you may raise at this
point is:
Is there such a thing as right,
unchanging and universal value?
Is a right value for me also a right
value for you? Or
Are values dependent on time, place
and culture?

There are two varied answers to the question,
depending on the camp where you belong.
If you belong to the idealist group, there are

unchanging and universal values
These are transcendent values, transcendent
because they are beyond changing times,
beyond space and people. They remain to be
a value even if no one values them

On the other hand, the relativists claim
that there are no universal and
unchanging values. They assert that
values are dependent on time and place.

Values are taught and caught
Are values caught or taught? Our position is that

values are both taught and caught. If they are not
taught because they are merely caught, then there is
even no point in proceeding to write and discuss
your values formation as a teacher here! Values are
also caught.

Values have cognitive, affective and behavioral
dimensions.
Values have a cognitive dimension

We must understand the value that we want to acquire.
We need to know why we have to value such. This is the
heart of conversion and values formation. We need to know
how to live by that value. These are the concepts that ought to
be taught.

Values are in the affective domain of objectives.
In themselves they have an affective dimension. For
instance, “it is not enough to know what honesty is or why
one should be honest. One has to feel something towards
honesty. be move towards honesty and preferable to
dishonesty.” (Aquino, 1990)
Values have a behavioral dimension.

In fact, living by the value is the true acid test if we really
value a value like honesty.

Value formation is a training of the intellect and
will.
Your value formation in essence is a training of your intellect
and will, your cognitive and rational appetitive powers,
respectively. Your intellect discerns a value and presents it to
the will as a right and wrong value. Your will wills to act on
the right value and wills to avoid the wrong value presented
by your intellect.

Virtuous versus vicious life and their effect
on the will.
A virtuous life strengthens you to live by the right

values and live a life of abundance and joy while a
vicious life leads you to perdition and misery. So,
START and CONTINUE doing and be good.

Lesson 5:
Teaching as Your Vocation, Mission
and Profession
Teaching as
your
Vocation
Etymology of the word “vocation”
Vocation comes from the Latin word “vocare” which means to
call.
If there is a call, there must be a caller and someone who is called.
For Christians, the caller is God and Allah for the Muslims.
Teaching as your Vocation

From the eyes of those who believe, it was God who called you
here for you to teach, just as God called Abraham, Moses and Mary
of the bible.
The fact that you are now in the College of Teacher Education
signifies that you positively responded to the call to teach.

Teaching as
your
mission
Etymology of the word “mission”
The word mission comes from the Latin word “misio” which means “to
send”.
You are called to be a teacher and you are sent into the world to
accomplish a mission, to teach.
You are sent to accomplish an assigned task.
Teaching as your Mission

Teaching is your mission means it is the task entrusted to you in this
world.
Your four years of pre-service preparation will equip you with the
knowledge, skills and attitude to become an effective teacher.
You are expected to contribute to the betterment of this world in your
own unique way.

Teaching as
your
profession
Elements of a Profession
Hon. Hermogenes P. Pobre remarked: “The term professional is one of
the most exalted in the English Language, denoting as it does, long and
arduous years of preparation, a striving for excellence, a dedication to the
public interest, and commitment to moral and ethical values.”
Teaching as a profession
•The end goal of service and as we have heard many times “ we cannot
give what we do not have”. we can give more if we have more.
•Continuing professional education is explicit in our professionalization
law and our Code of professional Ethics.
•If you take teaching as your profession, this means that you must be
willing to go through a long period of preparation and a continuing
professional development.
