摘要：This research aims to reveal the education values of teachers; where they
recognized the values, the importance of the values for teachers in performing their
duties, the effects on their teaching methods, and how well the undergraduate
program has equipped them with the competence of values education. Qualitative
interviews were conducted with 56 teachers. The results identified two categories
of people, namely ones with positive experience-based and ones with negative
experience-based values. Furthermore, the following four important findings were
obtained on analyzing these categories: (1) value is an important factor for teachers
in carrying out their professional duties in both categories; (2) the majority of
teachers in the positive experience-based category recognize the values from their
mothers, literary works, and few from their former teachers, while teachers in the
other category obtain values from their teachers and a few from their family life;
(3) the way teachers recognize value impacts on how they teach it to students; (4)
the undergraduate education experienced by prospective teachers at the university
does not provide the needed competency in teaching values to the students.
