Abstract

Six fundamental virtues across all cultures and historical time periods are: Wisdom (Curiosity, love of learning, judgment, ingenuity, social intelligence, and perspective) 2) Courage (Valor, perseverance, and integrity 3) Love and Humanity (Kindness, generosity, nurturance, and the capacity to love and be loved) 4) Temperance (Modesty, humility, self-control, prudence, and caution) 5) Justice (Good citizenship, fairness, loyalty, teamwork, and humane leadership) 6) Transcendence (Appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, spirituality, forgiveness, humor, and zest). By suitably planning for effective teaching, the classrooms can be the best plat form inculcation of these values. These values are significant from the point of view of character of students but also from the point of view of the achievement of students. These values make the students friendly help each other in learning and make them for having positive space in their life long. With Cooperative Learning Techniques group members sit close together so that they can easily see each other's work and hear each other without using loud voices. This may seem trivial, but it can be important. This principle means that rather than cooperation being only a way to learn, i.e., the how of learning, cooperation also becomes part of the content to be learned, i.e., the what of learning. This flows naturally from the most crucial cooperative learning principle
