VALUES AND VALUES IN EDUCATION FAMILY-TEACHER-SCHOOL

Values ​​are basic beliefs and principles that enable individuals to distinguish concepts such as good, bad, right and wrong, and are important elements that organize social life. This concept, which is of Latin origin, means being strong and valuable and has a quality associated with many branches of science. Florian Znaniecki was the first to introduce the concept of value in terms of social sciences. Values ​​are important principles that direct the behaviors of individuals, form the collective memory of society and contribute to the maintenance of social unity. According to the Turkish Language Association, values ​​are the totality of material and spiritual elements that encompass the social, cultural, economic and scientific elements of a society. Values ​​determine what kind of person individuals should be by relating their thoughts and actions to higher purposes. In order for societies to continue their existence, they must unite on a common past and goals; otherwise, this unity cannot be long-lasting. Values ​​provide social harmony by directing the thoughts and behaviors of individuals. These values ​​begin to be acquired at birth, and social structures such as family, school and society play a critical role in this process. Education of values ​​aims for the individual to internalize these principles and apply them in their daily lives. Education of values ​​supports the character development of the individual while ensuring social harmony and the continuation of social life. At this point, educators and parents guide children and contribute to their growth as individuals with conscious and moral values.
