Abstract

Objective: To investigate lecturers’ and students’ views of UNESCO core values in literature teaching and to examine how these values are manifested in literary learning at a Muhammadiyah University in East Java, Indonesia. Method: Employing a qualitative case study design involving three literature lecturers and thirty-one undergraduate students. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, literary analysis activities, field notes, and document analysis. Results: The findings show that both lecturers and students strongly support the integration of UNESCO core values into literature teaching. Among the eight UNESCO core values, religiosity emerged as the most dominant value, reflecting the institutional philosophy of Muhammadiyah education. The values were integrated through literary analysis, classroom interaction, teaching materials, and lecturers’ role modeling. Literature classrooms also promoted empathy, tolerance, responsibility, compassion, and social awareness while maintaining literary appreciation and critical inquiry. Novelty: Offering a novel contribution by examining the integration of UNESCO Core Values into literature teaching within an Indonesian Islamic higher education context, demonstrating how literature can function as a vehicle for values-based education while advancing Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), particularly Target 4.7, which emphasizes education for sustainable development, global citizenship, cultural diversity, and the promotion of peace and human values. The findings extend the discourse on holistic education by illustrating how literary learning fosters students’ literary competence, ethical awareness, character development, and social responsibility within a faith-based university setting.

Abstract

Objective: Investigating the representation of UNESCO core values in selected literary works taught in an English Literature program and explores their contribution to values-based education. Method: The research employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through textual analysis of selected literary works, including Julius Caesar, Othello, King Lear, Oedipus, Goblin Market, and When I Was One-and-Twenty. The data were interpreted using UNESCO’s framework of core human values. Results: The findings reveal that the selected literary works prominently represent the values of peace, justice, and equality. These values are reflected through characters’ moral struggles, ethical decisions, social relationships, and responses to power, prejudice, and responsibility. The analysis shows that literary texts provide meaningful opportunities for students to engage critically with social and moral issues while developing empathy, ethical awareness, and respect for diversity. Novelty: Providing a novel contribution by examining how English literary works function as pedagogical resources for integrating UNESCO core values particularly peace, justice, and equality into literature teaching in higher education. It demonstrates that literary narratives not only enhance students’ literary competence but also foster character development, ethical awareness, and values-based learning. Furthermore, the study extends the discourse on literature education by highlighting its contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education), particularly Target 4.7, through promoting global citizenship, respect for human rights, cultural diversity, and a culture of peace.
