Abstract
The chapter will introduce the handbook contents by summarizing the recent history of relevant pedagogical research insights and applying the findings to values education. The demonstrated claim, supported by evidence drawn from this research and further supported by findings from the Australian Values Education Program, is that values education constitutes good practice pedagogy. The relationship, referred to as values pedagogy, represents a double helix effect whereby two elements are linked as a complementary whole, each contributing to the inherent goals of the other.
