Practices

Values are ultimately personal; the implicit message is that there is no right or wrong value. Schools have a moral ethos embodied in rules, rewards and punishments, dress codes, honour codes, relationships, styles of teaching, extracurricular activities, art, and in the expression of respect. Schools convey to children what is expected of them, what is normal, what is right and wrong. It is often claimed that values are caught rather than taught; through their ethos, schools socialise children into patterns of moral behavior. The present study analyses the practice of moral education as described in the Gita with reference to concept of the Self and pedagogy and how the understanding of the Self and pedagogy can help the teachers in improving their character and pedagogical practices in imparting the real form of education to the children for both present and future.
