Values, Interpersonal Relationships And Social Behaviours

Βιωματική δράση στα πλαίσια του θεματικού κύκλου

Σχολική και Κοινωνική Ζωή

Θέμα¨: Αξίες, Διαπροσωπικές Σχέσεις, και Κοινωνικές Συμπεριφορές

Έγινε αποτίμηση και των συμπερασμάτων που εξήχθησαν από τη συμμετοχή των μαθητών στην δράση , αλλά και του βαθμού επιτυχίας αφ' ενός της ομαδοσυνεργατικής και βιωματικής προσέγγισης στη γνώση, αφ' ετέρου του νεοεισαχθέντος συναισθηματικού αναλυτικού προγράμματος (emotional curriculum). Τα όποια συμπεράσματα, βέβαια, αφορούν στον πρώτο χρόνο εφαρμογής των βιωματικών δράσεων στο Γυμνάσιο.

Η παρουσίαση έγινε σε ημερίδα που διοργάνωσαν οι υπεύθυνοι συντονιστές των βιωματικών δράσεων μετά τον πρώτο χρόνο εισαγωγής τους στο αναλυτικό πρόγραμμα του Γυμνασίου.

A brief report on the project on Values

The goal of the experiential activity is for students to understand the necessity and significance of values in our lives, as well as how they impact our interpersonal interactions and social behaviour in the group, school, and society at large.

• They must first decide what "value" means to them in regard to themselves, then to others in larger groups, and subsequently to society.

• Students are encouraged  and  deliberately guided to an awareness of the significance of the emotional and social skills that arise as a valued requirement for sociability, beginning with their own experience and the expectations they have of others.

• What are the principles that guide our interpersonal interactions, and why is it essential to treat people as we would want to be treated?

• How should we treat others if we want to live in harmony? How long can we go "alone" before we important others are to us?

• Are the values that govern our social lives and interpersonal relationships limiting regulations or  rather an inherent imperative?

Criteria for topic selection and pedagogical goals

In recent years, there has been a gradual decline in values in general, which is becoming increasingly apparent in young students, who reflect this deficit of today's society primarily through their behaviour, which is marked by social "awkwardness" and, occasionally, violence.

For more harmonious relationships of students with their peers, elders, teachers, and the school in general - which is to be understood as an intermediate link and passage from the safety  net of the family  through to the arena of adults society- it is necessary to redefine the important in our lives, principles and values that define the relationships with ourselves first , and, then , with others.

Students were able to draw on and apply their knowledge from school subjects such as Religious Education. History , and Language using literary works, poetry, essays, and folk songs, proverbs, old sayings to name but a few.

Values, Interpersonal Relationships, and Social Behaviours : A brief report on the goals and conclusions .

• The individual's basic values are life itself, freedom, country, family, and religion.

• Just as we want people to respect what we consider precious and important, we must respect what others regard sacred.

• Respect for our own personal values and ideals entails respect for our neighbor's values and ideals.

• The "big" values find expression in our everyday interactions and interactions with others.

• The children also displayed a remarkable sensitivity to friendship, stressing how essential it is to them as a value and an ideal.

• In terms of interpersonal relationships, we discussed love, cooperation, friendship, trust, diversity tolerance, solidarity, and kindness.

• Respect is a fundamental notion, value, and attitude in everyday behavioural manifestations of people, as well as a prerequisite for harmonious and constructive interpersonal interactions.

• Respect and kindness were two intertwined values that formed attitudes particularly because kindness implies treating people the way we want to be treated.

• The majority of pupils showed that they could differentiate between good and bad conduct not just by watching others but also by examining themselves.

Overall conclusion

• The overall conclusion is that certain values and ideals seem to be persistent throughout generations, times, and cultures (family, love, patriotism, freedom, etc. ),.they "exist" within them and the students effortlessly referred to them.

• The students were able to conduct reflection and examine and review what they believe to be essential in their lives as a result of this experience activity, and they realised that in order to have what others expect, they must do it themselves.
