There is a wide interest in university education in what is known as values education. A demand for such a project is becoming stronger in a number of countries and adopted by many governments in its various ministries, specially by ministries of education. From here came the idea of this study to teach students positive values, making teaching no longer limited to delivering theoretical information, but extends to include new forms of learning, such as cooperative, active and other types of learning. This paper is a summary of a project that was implemented during teaching ethical values course for a sample of students. The study adopted a strategy of integrating students into education through practical projects that reflect the theoretical information they learn in the field of ethical values. A sample of 32 students is divided into two groups (experimental and control). The first group taught empathy, respect, tolerance, justice in accordance with the traditional classroom-based method. While the second group taught through practical projects carried out by the students. Students are then wrote short project reports. After confirming the equivalence of the two groups of study, the pattern of education was applied through practical projects to the experimental group. The results of the analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two study groups in favor of the experimental group. There is a significant correlation between carrying out practical projects while teaching the above values as compared to the traditional teaching method. The study recommends the importance of increasing studies in this field and applying them in other courses and for different values. It also emphasizes the role of educational institutions in promoting positive values among university youth. (Published Abstract)
