Summary
Every society needs generations that have internalized their own cultural values to ensure its continuity. Education institutions must fulfill their responsibilities effectively in gaining and maintaining values. Education institutions reach their goals through the planned programs. According to Nalçacı and Beldağ 68), it is a necessity to train teachers who are practitioners of the programs both professionally and in the dimension of gaining human values. Values are very important for societies, so values education should be included in education and training activities. Since schools are places where education and learning are carried out in a planned and systematic way, they are one of the most effective areas in teaching values (Çetin, Çetin, & Arslangilay, 2019)
