From Teacher Educators to Teachers: Value Education
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in English & Education - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
It is well said that nothing can come out of nothing and something can come out of something. Teacher educators can act as role models for inculcating values among trainee teachers through the introduction of value education system in education. Obviously, to some extent, values can be encouraged to be imbibed into teachers through teacher educators. A teacher educator embodying values can act as a catalyst. At present education system has the policies and procedures designed to equip perspective teachers with the desirable knowledge, attitudes, behaviours and skills so that they can mould their students as required for a good society. Teacher Education training is provided keeping in the requirement of the teachers. When the teachers are to be initiated into this profession, they are provided training by the teacher educators. Subsequently teachers are inducted into teaching by providing training and support during the first few years of teaching. The professional development of teachers is done from time to time through the inservice training of practicing teachers. Certain skills are honed to make teachers effective in teaching. Theyare also trained to apply technology to improve teaching and learning as and when necessary. The teacher educators also train the pupil teachers in the areas of content teaching and methodology. The teachers are raw in the initial stage of their profession and if they are trained properly about the significance of value education, there is little doubt that the prospective teachers will be very serious about value education. The obvious outcome is likely to be that education will be on the right track and the society won’t have to suffer the unpleasant consequences as it is the case these days.
