Although critical thinking and problem-solving skills are necessary, people also need to have a social conscience. Educators should, therefore, pay more attention to moral education. Jesus Christ developed and implemented a moral…

In this study, empirical research was conducted in the field of civic and moral education using a real problem-oriented learning methodology.

The study combined quantitative and qualitative…

The integration of artificial intelligence into modern classrooms presents new opportunities and ethical concerns. As AI technologies are adopted in education, they offer the potential to personalize learning experiences, enhance teaching methods, and improve administrative efficiency. However, the use of AI also raises important ethical questions…

Sociological Institutionalists of education suggest that the first quarter of the 21st century has seen a paradigm shift in moral education worldwide toward depicting global citizenship as rooted in social diversity and common humanity, going beyond the locally focused interests of nation-states.

News and media reports indicate that the perceived value of university education is declining amongst students -- one of the indicators being an increase in apprenticeships. As educators, we need to identify the reasons for this and ask ourselves whether we provide holistic education to students. Based on this rationale, this forward-looking and…

South African society is currently experiencing a breakdown of morals, which is negatively impacting not only communities but also teaching and learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Existing literature has noticed two competing ideas about the state-citizen relationship promoted in China's moral education curriculum: protecting one's freedom and rights, and contributing to and even sacrificing for the country.

This paper considers the role of 'vices of culture' in Immanuel Kant's account of radical evil and education. I argue that Kant was keenly aware of a uniquely human tendency to allow a self-centered concern for status to misunderstand or co-opt the language of dignity and equal worth for its own purposes. This tendency lies at the root of the…

For Kant, we cannot understand how to approach moral education without confronting the radical evil of humanity. But if we start out, as Kant thinks we do, from a morally corrupt state, how can we make moral progress? In response, I explore in this paper Kant's gradualist and revolutionary accounts of moral progress. These differing accounts of…

The vast majority of contemporary scholars working in intellectual character education endeavor to identify those elements that render an educational program reliably successful at fostering the growth of intellectual excellences in students. In this article, I adopt an opposite perspective: I examine potential reasons as to why virtue-based…

When we view equity through this lens, teachers' and researchers' historically informed moral stances become just as important as the equitable distribution of teaching and learning resources and the…
