Abstract
Human values are vital to promoting education. Moral and social values like humanity, honesty, compassion, equality, and culture are important in schools. Indian culture is rich with values and traditions that have been followed since immemorial. Indians are known for peace and Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam (all people on earth are family). For years a moral decline has been observed in children which makes them diverted from the purpose of education. In 2015, the government of India adopted Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, and since the impact initiation can be observed. The human personality is incomplete without the essence of moral and social values. The sense of decision-making, code of conduct, and character-building make us unique and superior to computers and AI. The National Education Policy 2020 (India) recommends the central role of teachers in practicing and extending the legacy of Vedas (sacred texts), rich in human values to their students. This research investigates pre-service teachers’ perceptions of the Value-based Techno-Pedagogical Content Knowledge (VTPCK) model and its effectiveness in integrating values, technology, pedagogy, and content in teacher education. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study assesses the impact of VTPCK workshops on teaching competency and moral value integration among pre-service teachers. The results indicate significant improvement in pedagogical strategies and value-driven teaching practices, emphasizing the model's relevance in modern teacher training programs.
