The Book
This book is the third in a series that has applied the findings of values education projects to various fields of education. The findings are taken from updated international research with particular reference to those of the various projects that emanated from the Australian Values Education Program, 2003-2009.

In the first book, the findings that illustrated the close connection between values education and quality teaching were highlighted and referred to as a 'double helix'.

In the second book, findings from service learning were added to the mix, with the trio of values education, quality teaching and service learning referred to as a 'troika' that maximized student effects in schools, with some implications drawn for teacher education.

In this book, the ramifications and effects of the troika for teacher education are expanded on and applied across the range of foundations, curriculum studies and professional preparation fields relevant to teacher education. The editors were investigators and 'university friends' of the various projects of the Australian Values Education Program, while the authors have all pioneered the application of troika findings to teacher education in their own institutions and programs.

If the first book provided the essential theory and the second book began the work of making application to pedagogical realities in schools and teacher education, this book could be said to have 'closed the circle' of theory into practice, with particular emphasis on teacher education.
