Understanding Social Values of Future Teachers: Evidence from Coimbatore District

Teachers are responsible for creating students who will build the nation in the future. Hence, it is very essential that future teachers who are going to work as teachers should possess high social values. This study aims to investigate the level of social values among the B.Ed. students in Coimbatore District. For this, a descriptive survey method was followed, and 209 future teachers were selected using the cluster sampling method. The social value scale used to gather data for this study was created by Suresh and Sabu (2018). The study found that the future teachers exhibit moderate levels of social skills. In this investigation, gender, family type, and parent education were found to be non-significant factors, and locality, sibling status, and marital status were found to be significant factors in understanding the social values of future teachers.
