About this ebook

This collaborative scientific research, undertaken by the faculty and staff of the EdTech Research Association in conjunction with co-author Kavita Roy, investigated the values framework, challenges, and counseling impact on past higher education students in Mumbai, India. Employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the study encompassed 200 students from various academic disciplines, ensuring representation through purposive sampling. The data collection methods, including surveys, interviews, and observations, were meticulously devised and validated. Executed between August 2020 and June 2022, the study adhered rigorously to ethical guidelines. The results underscored the pivotal role of personal values in the lives of students, underscoring the imperative for personalized values education. Challenges, such as time constraints and peer pressure, revealed the intricate interplay of societal and cultural factors. Previous values counseling interventions manifested high participation rates and a positive impact on the clarity of values, self-awareness, decision-making, and interpersonal interactions. The perceived effectiveness of these interventions by 80% of participants underscored their significance in ethical and personal development. Key components for effective values counseling programs were identified, including interactive elements, personal reflection sessions, group discussions, mindfulness practices, and community service projects. Trained counselors were unanimously recognized as indispensable, emphasizing their instrumental role in guiding students through ethical challenges. Essential support mechanisms, including continuous counseling, peer support systems, and online forums, were deemed vital for sustaining intervention impact. The data presented in Tables 1 to 4 represented the outcomes of a survey conducted on 200 participants, comprising higher education students from two private colleges in Mumbai, India. These tables were structured to align with distinct objectives and their corresponding inquiries, providing a comprehensive insight into the diverse facets of values among higher education students in Mumbai, India. The systematic presentation of data in these tables reflects the multi-dimensional nature of the survey objectives and corresponding questions. These findings contribute valuable insights for institutions, policymakers, and counselors, advocating for evidence-based, tailored, and interactive values education programs. The study underscores the critical role of trained counselors and robust support mechanisms for holistic student development in the context of higher education in India.
