THE STORY OF ROBERT BRUCE AS A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL FOR GENERATING VALUE EDUCATION
Abstract
The legend of Robert the Bruce and the spider is widely regarded as a powerful narrative of perseverance, resilience, and moral courage. This research paper examines the story as a pedagogical tool for value generation in education. Using a qualitative narrative analysis approach, the study identifies key moral and character values embedded in the legend and explores how these values can be cultivated among learners. The findings suggest that the story promotes perseverance, self-belief, responsibility, reflective thinking, and leadership values which are essential for holistic education (Lickona, 1991). The paper concludes that integrating such narratives into educational curricula can significantly contribute to character formation and ethical development.
