IMPARTING VALUES THROUGH CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Education

National Conference on “Value Education Through Teacher Education”

The purpose of value education is to develop integrated and balanced personality. Values are not inborn in Nature. They are acquired and inculcated. The family, its environment and traditions, samskara along with humanitarianism play an important role in value development in our students and us. Many commissions at national and international level have advocated in favour of giving a value orientation to education. The National Policy on Education (NPE) 1986 states that education as an organized social system has an important function in the development of moral, spiritual and aesthetic values, and none can deny that teachers have a significant role to play in the realization of this objective. We can give value Education to B.Ed students in several ways. In the beginning, very simple human values like love, truth, peace, and punctuality can be introduced to the students. These values can be inculcated through curricular and co-curricular activities. Active participation in co-curricular activities arouses curiosity, created interest and inculcates values. Co-curricular activities occupy a vital place in teacher education.
