Consumer Education Curriculum Modules: A Spiral-Process Approach. 2. Valuing Process.
Murphy, Patricia D.; And Others
The Valuing Process curriculum module is part of a consumer education series (grades 9-14; adults, including elderly) that emphasizes a process approach with a spiral organization. The process approach helps the student in a changing consumer world to function rationally and in a manner consistent with personal values, while the spiral organization emphasizes recurring experiences with the same basic processes as well as progressive process development and expansion. Fourteen pages of valuing process assessment items are included for teachers to use for student pre-assessment and lesson planning. The valuing process module involves six objectives: (1) recognizing value components, (2) considering value-relevant behavior, (3) clarifying values exemplified, (4) hypothesizing about value sources, (5) analyzing value alternatives, and (6) examining value preferences. A section in the guide is devoted to each of these six objectives and clarifies the objectives and consumer competency with sample teacher-learner dialogue that includes both suggested teacher response and possible learner response. Teachers may decide to administer a post-assessment which is identical to the pre-assessment. (EA)
