Our society is faced with grave peril of value deterioration. Crimes in all areas of life are rampant and there is dissatisfaction amongst people. Therefore, it is important to tackle this hazard urgently and seize its growth. There is a pressing need for appropriate educational action to meet this challenge. Value education has been strongly emphasized. Value education is a deliberate programme that works towards the development of values, building holistic individuals. One way in which values can be taught in schools is through developing a module for teachers in Social Science integrated with values. The objectives of the study were to develop, implement and study the effectiveness of the module for teaching Social Science in terms of conceptual knowledge and perception of values of Equality and Peace. The research design was Quasi-experimental in nature. Convenience sampling technique was followed to select the sample which consisted of 30 students from class IX of two schools of Vadodara city thereby forming the experimental and control group. Achievement test, Value Knowledge test, and Perception scale were constructed and administered to gather the data. The study was conducted in five phases. Mean, SD, Mann-Whitney U-test was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the module developed for teachers for the inculcation of values in students through the teaching of Social Science was effective as the students had a higher conceptual knowledge and a higher perception of the values of Equality and Peace.
