Some authors argued that a value is the product ofreason and they are found in thoughts and minds where they are learnt and get a meaning. So for Aristotle (Magna Moralia; ed. de Franz Dirlmeier (1904 - 1977)) who said that moral behavior is not only knowledge but that is to say that we must learn and apply values, people become just practicing just act, making moderate act. We can contribute to help students to learn values, its purpose and how they can support them to make or do good things not just for themselves but for the other ones, at the same time as teachers can assist them to be autonomous, with a high self Steen, and the capacity to select what things are good or bag for them.

All education process has a purpose and goal it may follow some steps to help to birth those objectives. In education and values the fundamental steps to teach values are: Suarez Diaz, 2005 (pag, 2y3)
