character education values, Abrams, The Golden Compass, educationalAbstract
This study examines the character education values of The Golden Compass' characters. This study employs Abrams’ (1971) expressive approach with a qualitative method, focusing on how the author's ideas are conveyed in his work. The concept of instructional value by Eyre and Eyre (1993) to classify the research boundaries in the data analysis is also applied. As a consequence of the inquiry, several character education values performed by the characters are classified into two categories: values of giving and values of being.
