Values and perceptions

Pupils learn new ways of seeing and feeling events, issues, problems and opinions.

Extract from the DfES document Developing the global dimension in the school curriculum:

Developing a critical evaluation of representations of global issues and an appreciation of the effect these have on people’s attitudes and values.

This can include:

understanding that people have different values, attitudes and perceptions;
understanding the importance and value of Human Rights;
developing multiple perspectives and new ways of seeing events, issues, problems and opinions;
questioning and challenging assumptions and perceptions;
understanding the power of the media in influencing perceptions, choices
and lifestyles;
understanding that the values people hold shape their actions;
using different issues, events and problems to explore children and young people’s own values and perceptions as well as those of others.
