Values are the principles to guide our thought and behavior. They determine not only what we do, but also who we are. Living life by a basic set of values makes life fulfilling, happy and successful, it adds quality to life. Our values reflect what is significant to us in life. They are often our personal guiding principles or life goals. While we may have a variety of life goals that are specific to a situation, like getting a job or a promotion, running a marathon,, our values are life-goals that are not specific to any one situation.

The Course, BES-125: Understanding Disciplines and Subjects is one of the Core Courses studied in the first year of the IGNOU B.Ed. Programme. The Course is developed as per the NCTE Regulations, 2014. The Course provides the learners an understanding about the formation of an academic discipline by categorizing a specific type of knowledge and further it explains about framing a School Subject from the discipline. The course enables the learners to understand the distinctive characteristics and perspectives of a discipline and its academic manifestation.

The basic objectives of this course are to make you familiar with different types of Information sources like Documentary and Non-documentary sources. In this course you will learn about the categorisation of information sources and how this categorisation will help you in knowing the information sources in a better way. After going through this course you will be able to describe the specific criteria for categorisation of information; and will be able to identify sources by type, content, media and publication status.

This course analyzes the development of values from various angles: physical, social, intellectual and spiritual that help in the building up of a holistic personality. It promotes the importance of relationships at all levels within the learning community in which the educator and student work together in an open and collaborative relationship.  In the process of such value development, the contribution of family, parents, peers and media are significant for building personal and social adjustments.
