Abstract

Since 2003, the development of values plays an important role in the education programs developed by the Ministry of Education and takes part in the basic units of the implemented programs. In a circular issued, it is asked that all private and public schools of the ministry should organize activities in order to enhance the students’ value proficiency and to enable the students to reflect this proficiency to their behaviors. In accordance with this circular, like in the other cities, a value education province council has been created and one teacher from each school is assigned as “The School Coordinator of Value Education” in Bingol which formed the sample of this study. Activities related to the value education carried out by these volunteer teachers. The purpose of this study is to construct a profile of volunteer teachers who carry on these values activities in their schools in Bingol and to take their views and suggestions about the activities. For this purpose, in 2011-2012 school year, we took the views of 30 teachers who are voluntarily carrying on the values education activities at the schools of Bingol Directorate of National Education. The data is collected via the method of inquiry. In descriptive analysis of the data obtained from inquiry, the distributions; frequency (f) and percentage (%), are used. At the end of the study, it is revealed that among the teachers that voluntarily participated in the values education in Bingöl, those who are between the ages of 26-40, married, male, have children, graduated from education faculty, work at primary schools, have a bachelor degree, have teaching experiences between 1-10 years, whose branches are Education of Religion and Ethics, and Psychological Counseling, born in Bingol constitute the majority. It is proven that the teachers have share the same opinion that the value education should be a part of teacher training program, and they also think that the loyalty of values has lost its appeal. Additionally, this study shows that value education activities affect students’ behaviors positively, and the positive approach towards these activities declines from province administrator to school administrator and teacher, and also the interests of parents and students are different.
