Abstract

The development of moral values is considered an important goal in education. Empirical studies from different countries show that there is widespread agreement among teachers about the significance of values education as an integral element of formal and professional education (e.g., Klaassen, 2002; Mahoney, 2009; Sockett & LePage, 2002; Tatto, Arellano, Uribe, Varella, & Rodriguez, 2001; Thornberg, 2008; Thornberg & Oguz, 2013; Veugelers & de Kat, 1999).
