... Joan of Arc Illumination, Heroism and Harmony Preface The task of preparing teaching-learning material for value-oriented education is enormous. There is, first, the idea that value-oriented education should be exploratory rather than prescriptive, and that the teaching- learning material should provide to the learners a growing experience of exploration... maximisation of one or more elements of our nature.

In Joan of Arc, we find, abundantly, illumination, heroism and harmony. Illumination, as she, in obedience to heavenly voices, embarked on her stupendous task of liberating France from the English, remaining ...
