ABOUT THE BOOK:- The book 'Values, Aspiration and Professional Education' is the upshot of the author's research. The principal focus of the book is to examine the interrelationship of level of aspiration with different value dimensions from the perspective of education. The present day education is often criticised to be deficient in inculcating right values, rather emphasis is on promotion of technical knowhow, skills and technologies for material progress. The book tries to give answer to this common notion through empirical investigation. Thus, the book analyses the theoretical perspectives on the nature of value formation and its determining factors. The book is divided in to five chapters. Considering the quantum of research work and input to the area of values, level of aspiration and professional education the book is expected to motivate its readers, especially the researchers and administrators to develop its propagation and impel motivation for further research.
