VALUE INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES/ TOOLS

VALUE INTEGRATION

- IT SHOULD HAVE A PROVOCATIVE

STATEMENT WHEREIN IT HAS TO RAISE AN

ISSUE THAT WILL HAVE A VALUE IMPLICATION

FOR STUDENTS.


PROVOCATIVE STATEMENT

“TO MAKE ENGLISH AS MEDIUM OF

INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS IS NOT A

NATIONALISTIC ACT.”


VALUE CLARIFYING QUESTION

- IT IS ALL ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS THAT WILL SHOW HOW PEOPLE TRULY VALUE THEIR LOVE WHEN IT COMES IN OUR COUNTRY EVEN IF WE

ARE USING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE.


“Can we love our country even if we can speak

English better than Filipino?”


VOTING- THE TEACHER

ASKS QUESTIONS THAT WILL REQUIRE STUDENTS TO TAKE STAND ON ISSUES BY RAISING THEIR

HANDS.


RANK ORDERING- WORDS OR

STATEMENTS ARE PLACED ON THE BOARD AND THE STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO RANK

THEM IN ORDER OF THEIR REFERENCE.


PICTURE WITHOUT A CAPTION

- THE STUDENTS WILL BE ASKED TO WRITE A

CAPTION FOR A PICTURE THAT HAS NO

CAPTION AND THE STUDENTS WILL

EXPLAIN ABOUT IT.


VALUE CONTINUUM

- A VALUE-LADEN

STATEMENT IS PRESENTED TO THE STUDENTS.


DEVIL’S ADVOCATE- DEBATE ABOUT A CERTAIN SITUATION

WHEREIN BEFORE THE CLASS ENDS, TEACHER MAKES CLEAR HIS/HER STAND TO CLEAR ALL

DOUBTS AND CONFUSION.


UNFINISHED SENTENCES

- AN UNFINISHED SENTENCE IS WRITTEN ON THE BOARD AND THE STUDENTS ARE

ASKED TO COMPLETE IT BY INJECTING THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT

SOMETHING.


CONFLICT STORY- THIS IS BEST EXPLAINED BY THE USE OF THIS EXAMPLE.

SHALL WE ALLOW OUR BEST TEACHERS, NURSES, MEDICAL DOCTORS AND

OTHER PROFESSIONALS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BRAIN

DRAIN OR KEEP THEM HERETO COMPETE FOR THE SCARCE

JOB OFFERINGS AND CONTRIBUTE TO UNEMPLOYMENT.

Summary in Values Integration Techniques/Tools

ALL THESE TECHNIQUES DEMAND ORAL

COMMUNICATION. IF WE LEARN LANGUAGE BEST BY SPEAKING IT, THEN THESE

ARE EXCELLENT TOOLS FOR LANGUAGE TEACHING. MORE THAN ACQUISITION OF LANGUAGE SKILLS, THE TEACHER IS ENGAGED IN

VALUE EDUCATION.
