Abstract

The chapter will explore the essence of a values approach to teaching and learning, what will be referred to as values pedagogy, through research and practice that demonstrate how it works in establishing a conducive environment for learning (referred to as the implicit dimension) and curriculum implementation (referred to as the explicit dimension). Regarding the implicit, the chapter will draw on a multiplicity of research that underlines the essential nature of the positive learning environment, especially in the form of the “ambience of trust and care” if the best learning effects are to be realized. Moreover, it will point especially to aspects of values pedagogical research that point to the added positive effects realized when values drive both curricular and extra-curricular elements of education.
