Research trends on value education in a decade with special reference in faculty of education: Indian University

Abstract

Value education is an integral part of holistic learning, focusing on instilling ethical, moral, social, religious, cultural, educational, personal, spiritual, and behavioral values. It aims to develop character, empathy, and a sense of responsibility, fostering well-rounded individuals capable of contributing positively to society. Research and surveys played a very important role in giving value education a place in the list of priorities. Research also shows a direction to solve the problems. In this paper, we will discuss the trend of research on value education in the faculty of education, at CSJMU, Kanpur. The data was collected from the Shodhganga@INFLIBNET platform. This trend research has covered different aspects such as year-wise thesis, gender of researcher and supervisor, language of research, approach of research, research design, methods of research, population, sampling method, nature of tools, data collection tools, statistical techniques, etc. A total 8 theses were submitted of value education in ten years of the period of study. To find the trend of research researcher uses the self-made checklist of trend analysis for the Doctoral thesis. We found the result in frequency and percentage base. The collected data revealed that 8.89% of theses were of value education contributed from 2011 to 2020. So there is lack of research on value education. There is no equal distribution of basic information which shows huge number gap and some lack of methodology.
