One of the most important roles of schools is to enable students to become good citizens, capable of participating in the public affairs of society. However, the term ‘good citizens’ evokes different ...interpretations and definitions in different value systems. Using the methods of quantitative content analysis and narrative analysis, this paper aims to identify the dominant moral values of a good citizen that are conveyed by Malaysian moral education textbooks. The findings demonstrate that ‘responsibility’ is the dominant value for shaping a good citizen in Malaysia. The value of responsibility in the textbooks embraces not only the meanings of self-obligation and accountability, but responsibility is also defined as an individual׳s sense of self-discipline in their behaviour that enables them to avoid conflict and strive for harmonious social order. The other important values are “Respect”, “Helpful”, “Hard-working” and “Caring”. This study provides an example of how a multi-ethnic nation state like Malaysia promotes these moral values through its educational curriculum, for political legitimacy and forging national unity.
•Moral education has been part of the process of nation-building in Malaysia.•The values that are taught in the textbooks are a means for political legitimacy and forging national unity.•The findings demonstrate that ‘responsibility’ is the dominant value for shaping a good citizen in Malaysia.•A good citizen, as portrayed by the textbooks, is also a rule-follower and committed to national development.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to provide a model of moral education in elementary school. Method:The research method was mixed with a qualitative-quantitative design. The statistical population ...of the research in the qualitative section included articles, thesis, documents and books from 1390 to 1398 and in a quantitative part, the teachers of the second elementary school were in Kerman. The study sample was based on purposive sampling method in qualitative part and simple random sampling method in quantitative part. The data collection tools in the qualitative section included articles, thesis, books, and in the quantitative section was a questionnaire. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data in the qualitative part and the second-order confirmatory factor analysis was used in the quantitative part. Finding: Findings showed that 35 basic themes, eleven organizing themes and three comprehensive themes were identified in three areas of cognition, belief and moral behavior, then a questionnaire was designed to validate the model with 35 items. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbachchr('39')s alpha (0.95) and its validity was calculated based on the views of experienced faculty members and using the sigma numbering index of 0/85. The results showed that all themes with high factor load were approved, which indicated the high validity of the model. In the quantitative part, the findings showed that all themes with high factor load were approved, which indicated the high validity of the model. Conclusion:According to the results of this study and focusing on the model of moral education, it is possible to help improve the level of cognition, belief and moral behavior of elementary school students.
Winston C. Thompson's review of Moral Education for Social Justice by Larry Nucci and Robyn Ilten-Gee accurately captures the effort to integrate critical pedagogy with domain-based moral education. ...A core element is student participation in domain-based discourse entailing responsive engagement that transcends the cognitive activity of individuals. Those discussions may lead to action projects (praxis). Replying to Thompson's review, Nucci and Ilten-Gee address potential problems that may arise from student resistance and from objections of conservatives who may view attention to social justice as political indoctrination. They conclude that moral education that does not attend to social justice suffers from incoherence.
Some countries have replaced face-to-face education with distance education in response to the coronavirus. This form of distance education differs from conventional distance education: being ...suddenly, unreadily and forcefully implemented, invading schooling and constituting a globally discussed phenomenon. This article builds a conceptual framework for this education, addressing the question: What are the ramifications of implementing distance education amid coronavirus? It targets Arab culture, although globalisation and the media may have harmonised any substantial cross-cultural variations. Various ramifications have emerged through analysing social-media posts, online classes and interviews. Concerning social and cultural ramifications, some may, for ideological considerations, tolerate, support, reject or subvert this education through campaigning, rumour and humour. Regarding pedagogical and psychological ramifications, unreadiness and incompetence may compromise education. Additionally, staying home may entail problems (pandemic-related stress, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, divorce and pregnancy), preventing students and teachers from learning and teaching. Concerning procedural and logistical ramifications, some Arab contexts may be digitally readier than non-Arab contexts. Additionally, stakeholders may intensify efforts to profit, ethically or unethically, from the over-demand for this education. Distance education is one of several social distancing initiatives, which Arabs have welcomed despite their well-rooted social closeness, bonding to debond, forming unorthodox ‘distanceship’.
•Drawing a comparison between traditional distance education and crisis distance education.•Formulating a conceptual framework for crisis distance education.•Qualitatively scrutinising crisis distance education.•Viewing crisis distance education through sociological lenses.•Documenting Arabs' views of (and dealings with) crisis distance education.
Xenophon the Athenian, who is well known both as a historian and as a witness of Socratic philosophy, developed his own systematic thought on moral education from a social and mainly political ...perspective in his extant works. His discourse on moral education represents the view of an unusual historical figure; an innovative thinker, as well as a man of action, a mercenary general and a world citizen in his age. As such, it is therefore different from the discourse of contemporary pure philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle. Furthermore, as a prolific author respected in both the classical world and the early modern era, Xenophon+ås doctrine on moral education has had an extensive influence on the later development of European cultural history. - - This work explores the background and content of Xenophon+ås thought on moral education, as well as its application in his literary composition. The analysis of these themes confirms that Xenophon actually established a theory of moral education in his extant corpus. On the one hand, his theory is less profound than that of Plato or Aristotle, but, on the other, it is original and innovative, and has been influential in the history of classical literature, and therefore deserves both serious investigation and our respect. - - - - -
