Positive students’ values education learning outcomes observed  

At cognition level, teachers were satisfied with their students’ enhanced awareness and understanding of the target values. Not only were they able to identify the values embedded in the life events used in the lessons, but they were also able to provide concrete examples of these target values in their daily lives as reflected by their presentations and writing. They were also able to demonstrate their ability in adopting the target positive values as a moral standard to comprehend and make judgements of the selected life events and issues in classroom activities and their written work. At affection level, most students were able to demonstrate an awarenss of the importance of the target positive values and showed empathy when opportunities were provided for them to explore the different perspectives held by different stakeholders on the issues being discussed.
