Abstract

The present research works explore the constructs contributing to the values of education in the Indian educational framework and make an effort to understand its perception among the stakeholders. We have made a scientific effort to explore various dimensions of value education constructs from available literature and shaped those constructs on the perceptual mapping framework that have created its positions on the graphic dimension of the frame. It explains how the value education contributes to shaping the mindset and personality amongst the students. We have developed a value education index on the identified constructs that shows the relative weights on each identified construct. The constructs identified as family cohesion, parent conflicts, parents expatiation, teachers' role, school administration, mass media and internet, social orientation, community structure, religious education, and public institution.
