Abstract

The role of value systems in shaping moral, social, and educational development is critical, as highlighted by this systematic literature review on secondary-level students in Bangladesh. Through an analysis of 83 studies, five key themes emerge: the significant influence of parents on shaping values, the foundational role of religious teachings in forming lasting ethics, the importance of socialization in fostering family values, the evolving nature of secularism, and the lack of integration among these elements with global value education. The findings underscore that family and religious teachings remain pivotal in shaping students’ ethical frameworks, while peer interactions and teacher-student relationships also play a crucial role in their moral development. However, the research points to a fragmented understanding of these domains, underscoring the need for a more comprehensive approach to value formation. The review advocates for incorporating value education into school curricula, striking a balance between respecting traditional cultural norms and embracing modern secular values. This approach aims to foster inclusivity and ethical reasoning. By addressing gaps in the current literature, the study offers actionable recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to develop socially responsible individuals capable of harmonizing personal and societal interests.
