Moral Principles In Education

Moral Principles in Education

by John Dewey

In "Moral Principles in Education," John Dewey argues that moral education is not simply a matter of rote memorization of rules but rather a dynamic process that unfolds through active participation in the school community. He emphasizes the importance of developing a sense of social responsibility and democratic values, along with intellectual and emotional growth. Dewey explores the psychological underpinnings of morality, the role of the curriculum in shaping character, and the methods of instruction that cultivate ethical behavior. The book remains a foundational text for educators seeking to understand the moral dimension of teaching and learning.
