This paper is about the concepts of values and values education and the relationship
between values education and citizenship development. The first part of the paper
discusses the concept of values as perceived by some writers. The second part
discusses some of the findings based on a survey conducted to elucidate the
understanding of the concept by some student teachers. This excercise was performed
by asking the students words that they used to define values or any other words which
were associated with values. Comparison between male and female perception of
values was computed. Finally a model to inculcate values through classroom teaching
is presented
