Learning and teaching on spaceship earth
the search for sustainable values in education
Michael Kompf
pp. 55-62
This paper offers some perspectives about the shifting place and status of values in education as globalisation affects the activities, participants and stakeholders in learning and teaching. The substance and inculcation of values is both explicit and implicit and framed through factors such as religion, nationalism, capitalism and technology. A constructivist lens helps understand how values are perceived and acted on in the personal and social contexts of learning and teaching. The ideas of Korzybski (1931), Kelly (1955), McLuhan (1962) Schutz (1964) among others illustrate the usefulness and durability of constructivist understandings in the contemporary context of values in education.
