Different Ways of Teaching Values

Abstract Teachers find certain values important for their students which they express in their teaching and in the interaction on the value-level between teacher and student. This article first looks at educational concepts that deal with values in education, for example value education, critical thinking, moral development and critical pedagogy. It will show that even a teacher who pays attention to differences in values, often expresses the values he/she finds important. It also indicates that students prefer teachers to express differences, but are clear about their own preferences and their own values.
