Values, Ethics and Teacher Education: A Perspective from Pakistan
Rukhsana Zia
Abstract:Values and ethics are automatically incorporated into any teaching learning environment or endeavor, whether or not they are consciously stated objectives. The focus on "quality of education" has sharpened as people have become concerned about a perceived rise in materialism as standards of living have improved; materialistic ambitions increasingly/ill the ideological gap created by the move to a pluralistic society in unhitch there is a less general consensus values and ethics. There is increasing demand for insight into the potential the formal teaching/learning process for inculcating, learning/ unlearning (as the case may be) and consolidating values. The manner in which teachers are trained has far-reaching implications for the youth in schools, and a systemic inquiry into the structure, role, responsibilities, aims and curricular objectives of teacher education is the obvious starting point. This paper tries to delineate the global normative aims of education as a model for assessing the composition of the teacher education curriculum in Pakistan. It looks at the intended curriculum, bearing in mind that the formal and the active curricula may not necessarily converge. The paper accepts that ethics and values education is still in a formative stage. However, one critical question that will remain open at the philosophical level is "which values should be included?" and this needs to be vigorously researched to establish guidelines that hue global consensus. The next crucial question will then be "how best to teach to ensure that these ethics and values are internalized by learners?"
