We Don't Call It Moral Education: American Children Learn About Values.
Kuhmerker, Lisa
Values education has become an important theme in social studies education in recent years. Although long ignored, moral education, as the British call it, is being emphasized as the pressures on and needs of children in a fast-paced society have become evident. Professional organizations have conducted workshops on the topic of values education. On the "how to" level, the Americans have produced a variety of programs, curriculum materials, and teacher guides that are of use to the social studies teacher. Sources of such materials include the Social Science Education Consortium's "Data Book" and the November 1973 issue of "Social Education." A variety of books in education dealing with increasing options in teaching are relevant to moral educators. Projects such as "Man: A Course of Study" include extensive teacher training programs. As values education gains a legitimate place in the curriculum, teachers will feel increasingly free about incorporating a value orientation into other parts of their regular curriculum. (JH)
