The values of education lay on the meaning and objectives which are placed in the core of education. Value-based society will increase the learning system because such values will be transfered through quality learning and the ability of the students to distinguish their behavior according to the values. The educators are expected to have qualified education background. In addition, they need to be valued and cared in learning society.

Said Cristopher Drake from Association for Living Values Education, Hong Kong in the 3rdInternational Conference On Educational Research and Innovation (ICERI) 2015. This conference was held for two days in Training Center of YSU Hotel (6-7/4/2015). Further, he explained that value education is not solely a course in curriculum. “Pedagogy is the main thing. It is education philosophy and the way to inspire as well as develop the positive values in the class.

According to Chris Drake, value-based and guided reflection teaching may support the learning process as a process of giving meanings, a contribution for developing critical thinking, imagination, understanding, self-consciousness, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills and consideration for other people. The core of education concept in Living Values Education is seeing a person as a whole individual who is culturally different in one big global family. In addition, he/she is able to think, feel and assess. Therefore, education should care about the individual’s common sense, emotional, spiritual and physical security.
