Abstract: This research aims to reveal the education values of teachers; where they recognized the values, the importance of the values for teachers in performing their duties, the effects on their teaching methods, and how well the undergraduate program has equipped them with the competence of values education. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 56 teachers. The results identified two categories of people, namely ones with positive experience-based and ones with negative experience-based values. Furthermore, the following four important findings were obtained on analyzing these categories: (1) value is an important factor for teachers in carrying out their professional duties in both categories; (2) the majority of teachers in the positive experience-based category recognize the values from their mothers, literary works, and few from their former teachers, while teachers in the other category obtain values from their teachers and a few from their family life; (3) the way teachers recognize value impacts on how they teach it to students; (4) the undergraduate education experienced by prospective teachers at the university does not provide the needed competency in teaching values to the students.
