AN ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION VALUES IN “THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL” MOVIE

This study discusses the education values found in the movie The School for Good
and Evil. Education values are principles that shape character and behavior, and
they are often conveyed through storylines, characters’ actions, and interpersonal
relationships. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the education
values embedded in the movie and to examine how they are reflected through the
main characters. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data
were collected from the movie’s transcripts and scenes, and then analyzed using the
classification of education values proposed by Eyre and Eyre (1993), which divides
values into two categories: Values of Being and Values of Giving. The findings
reveal that bravery, honesty, and confidence and potential are the most dominant
values in the Values of Being category, while respect and love and affection
dominate the Values of Giving category. Agatha is the character who most
consistently represents these values. Meanwhile, Sophie, although placed in the
School for Evil, also demonstrates positive values throughout her journey. The
implication of this research is that popular movies can serve as meaningful tools for
character education, particularly in the context of 21st-century learning.
