This article presents an inwards search for educational values
at the core of my conduct and character as a peace education
researcher and practitioner. To help me locate, and formulate
my driving, educational values, I relate how I came to prefer
non-formal education as my preferred learning format. Among
the reasons is how the format encourages people to see each
other, as well as the uniqueness every participant brings to the
group. I bring this together to conceptualise appreciative
values, by which I mean that each person’s contribution is
valued, and recognised for its potential power to contribute to
social change in the educational setting and beyond. This
concept of appreciative values is the foundation of my livingeducational-theory.
To validate my improvement with regards to my values, I look
to feedback forms of educational activities I have facilitated in
the past. Through this, I find evidence that I have grown more
into the role of an educational facilitator, and that my way of
living according to appreciative values has had an influence on
others I have come across. However, I also identify a gap in my
demeanour, by which I act in living contradiction with my
values. Acknowledging the potential for improvement, I engage
in reflection with a work colleague to try to make use of that
gap as a learning opportunity. |
