Stichter, Matt – Journal of Moral Education, 2022
Psychological research has revealed that there is a strong tendency for people to believe that they have a 'true self', and to believe that this true self is inherently morally good. This would seemingly be very good news for virtue theorists, since this may help to promote virtue development. While there are some obvious benefits to people having…

George Spencer; Janine de Novais; Emily Carolyn Chen-Bendle; Elizabeth Ndika – Journal of Higher Education, 2024
Despite high college expectations and enrollments among young people, their trajectories through higher education have become increasingly complex.

David Light Shields; Christopher D. Funk – Journal of Character Education, 2023
People desire to have positive self-esteem.

Hedley, Douglas – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2018
In this article, the "Bild" or image of the sculptor used by Plotinus and adapted by his Christian follower Meister Eckhart forms the basis of a reflection on the religious or otherworldly dimension in ethics (as opposed to a reductionist or functionalist conception of ethics with its focus on human happiness in the sense of worldly…

Berulava, Galina A.; Berulava, Mikhail N. – International Dialogues on Education: Past and Present, 2019
The article discusses the main factors of personal development and the dynamics of their role in the modern world. It is shown that an organized system of education, a teacher, is no longer a priority source of personal development: such a source is the electronic media that are today having a mostly negative impact on personal development. The…

Krettenauer, Tobias; Victor, Rosemary – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Moral identity research to date has largely failed to provide evidence for developmental trends in moral identity, presumably because of restrictions in the age range of studies and the use of moral identity measures that are insensitive to age-related change. The present study investigated moral identity motivation across a broad age range (14-65…

A key aspect of contemporary lifelong learning theory, policy, and practice is the idea that, because of rapid changes in contemporary societies, there is a constant need for individuals to learn new knowledge and skills in order to adapt themselves to changing conditions. There is, therefore, an increased emphasis on the personal dimension of…

Building on research that juxtaposes ritual theory and Evangelical values, this work narrates the invention and implementation of a rite…
