Edukasyon sa pagpapakatao framework approach to values education

Role playing & Evocation

Introduction

This module is designed to provide an overview of the Edukasyon sa pagpapakatao

framework approach to values education under the Role playing and evocation subtopics.
For effective learning, students should be actively involved in every phase of the lesson.
To support motivation, evocation is essential because it is a pre-condition for thoughtful and
effective work during the whole lesson: it helps to concentrate the attention of students,
arouses their curiosity and interest, and also motivates them to participate actively in the
lesson (Gagné & Driscoll, 1992).
The following is an overview of role playing and evocation and their importance in the
learning process.

Behavioral Objectives:
1. Define and Explain the definition of role playing and evocation
2. Discuss the importance of role playing and evocation to values education
3. Apply this frameworks approach to values education

Discussion

What Is Role playing?

Role play exercises give students the opportunity to assume the role of a person or act out a
given situation. These roles can be performed by individual students, in pairs, or in groups
which can play out a more complex scenario.

Benefits of Role Playing

Role playing can be effectively used in the classroom to:
• Motivate and engage students
• Enhance current teaching strategies
• Provide real-world scenarios to help students learn
• Learn skills used in real-world situations (negotiation, debate, teamwork, cooperation,
persuasion)
• Provide opportunities for critical observation of peers

Examples of Role Play Exercises

• Answering a phone
• Receiving gifts
• Workplace etiquette
• Meeting People
• Greeting People
Ask the class
1. When you meet someone, how do you greet them? (Have students demonstrate appropriate
ways)
2. Do we greet everyone exactly the same way? Why?
3. Do we use different greeting words at different times of day? Make a list of words you can
use to greet people. Separate into formal and informal.

• Keep the earth clean. – set up a situation where one kid was throwing their garbage on the
ground. What do they do? How should they respond?
• Open door for others. – We took turns opening the door for each other as we went in and out
of rooms in the house.
• Give up your chair for adults or others. – We pretended like all of the chairs were full when I
entered the room, so Abby stood up and politely said, “Would you like my chair?”
• Respect differences. – We have talked about the importance of respecting each other’s
differences – personality, race, disability, religion, ideas.
Advantages of Role-playing
Role playing allows students to develop an understanding of others perspective. It
encourages students to work with others in analyzing situations and developing solutions. It
also provides opportunity to apply concepts they have learned. In addition, it offers a channel
through which feelings can be expressed and feedback processed and helps to build self-
esteem and confidence.

Importance
Role playing emphasizes the importance of studying the problems of human relations and
understanding one’s social position to acquire lessons as well as values. It considers a deep
analysis in solving a particular problem which develops students’ reasoning ability and critical
thinking.

Evocation Approach (Pagpukaw)

The students are encouraged to make spontaneously free, non-rational choices,
without thought or hesitation. In this approach student is spontaneous behavior will be judged

Purpose of Evocation Approach

It provides an environment which allows maximum freedom for students, and provide
a provocative situation for which spontaneous reactions are elicited. Some theorists conceive of
valuing as a process of emoting or feeling. Values, are seen as personal emotions reflecting
moral approval or disapproval. No set of values is thought to be better or worse than another.
Except for measuring the strength of one’s values, objective, empirical validation is impossible.
People are valuing when they are actually evincing or expressing moral feelings, not when they
are making statements or assertions about them. Valuing, according to this viewpoint, is the
experience and expression of one’s own intensely personal feelings about good and evil. The
values education approach based on such a conception of valuing is termed evocation. Its
purpose is to help students evince and express their values genuinely and spontaneously
without thought, hesitation, or discussion.

Example of Evocation Approach

 The real life example of Evocation Approach is the reaction to a picture of starving children
and the other one example of a person valuing in the way the evocation approach suggests is
the infant, who without thinking or hesitating knows what his or her organism wants and does
not want, likes and dislikes, and approves and disapproves, and who spontaneously behaves by
crying, cooing, or laughing. In fact, sees this as the first stage in the development of a person’s
valuing process. He calls it “organismic valuing” —One’s organism instinctively knows what is
good for itself and what is not. Despite the possibility that only an infant can truly “evoke
values” spontaneously, this approach is considered here for two reasons. First, the rationale
upon which it is based has been supported by several philosophers and psychologists. Second,
some educators, Rogers included, believe that one of the key goals of values education should
be to help persons once again “get in touch” with their spontaneous, emotional, and
organismically based valuing Process and integrate it into their value system. No one has
developed an explicit teaching methodology or an instructional model to help teachers in
applying the evocation approach to values education. Extreme proponents of this approach
would consider a rigid set of procedures contrary to the essential purpose of evocation— to
foster spontaneous, nonrational choicemaking.

Some methods that have been used by teachers do, however, seem to reflect this objective.
The open school or classroom that emphasizes free exploration and reaction to the
environment especially in terms of feelings would be one example. Another method that seems
related to this approach is to present a series of provocative stimuli for example, pictures,
slides, filmstrips, movies, and/or readings— in order to elicit spontaneous, gut-level reactions
from the students. The goal would not be to discuss or analyze these reactions, but to get
students to react personally and genuinely to the situations in terms of their own values.

Importance of Evocation to students

Evocation helps students to focus their attention; it raises their curiosity and interest and
motivates them to participate actively in the lesson.
Theoretical Aspects of the Relevance of Evocation in the Learning Process“When a
teacher can effectively evoke students to learn a new topic, a key to success is in his/her pocket
already. If there is no evocation key, you must break the lock, i.e. the student´s soul, with force
– and it is surely a far more difficult task”. Evocation guarantees that students start working. In
the initial phase of learning, raising interest towards a problem or a topic is more important
than the transfer of knowledge, because interest plays an important role in the development of
learning motivation (Kidron, 1999; Krull, 2000; Steele et al., 1998). Evocation at the beginning of
a lesson is often underestimated because there is a tendency to think that students come to
school to study. In some cases this is true, but there are students who need to be “lured” to
learn by arousing their interest, setting goals and raising expectations (Klooster, Steele &
Bloem, 2001).Teaching should begin with goal setting, because if we cannot define the changes
that should become evident in the student`s physical, psychological and social development,
there is no pedagogical activity involved (Liimets, 1998). According to Gagné & Driscoll (1992)
setting goals for the lesson helps to increase motivation, which is a pre-condition for learning.
Efficient evocation gives a student the possibility to set goals for him/herself; activates
existing knowledge, focuses attention and raises motivation.
