Abstract

Values education is carried out in many countries with different names and systems. Although differences are observed according to the social, political, religious, and economic structure of each country, value education aims to provide an ideal structure for the individual and society by transferring cultural, moral, national, and universal values to individuals. In this study, values education in Germany, one of the important countries of Europe, was examined, and the situation of values education applied in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia was revealed as well as general values education in Germany. In Germany, values education is mainly given in Ethics and Religion courses. The data in the research were obtained by using the literature review technique, one of the qualitative research methods. As a result of the research, it has been understood that the values education in the Values and Norms course in primary schools in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is not given at a sufficient level, and this course is only a specific course.
