what are values in mathematics education? a question asked on my pretest yesterday. i thought of something else which were not quite right. today i looked up the meaning of the word values. i knew them but didnt know what they are academically called. :) Values education is emphasised in the Malaysian curriculum where The 16 moral values are explicitly spelled out in the Moral Education syllabus. These values were identified from the four main religious and ethnic groups of the country - Malay (Islam), Chinese (Buddhism and Taoism), Indian (Hinduism) and Christians. They are known as Nilai-nilai mumi (the pure, ethical or noble values) and include: compassion, self-reliance, humility, respect, love, justice, freedom, courage, physical and mental cleanliness, honesty, diligence, co-operation, moderation, gratitude, rationality and public-spiritedness. The official policy is that these values are to be taught or inculcated indirectly through all school subjects, including mathematics and science.
