I believe that one of the strengths of this plan is that it is far different from the moral values that most conservative Christians want to teach, and I think that this is where teaching morality in school has gotten its bad name. Shafersman (1991) discusses a religious right that wants to teach women to be subservient to men and that certain political forms are more godly than others. I believe this is going to far. What our children need is simply someone to show them how to make the right decisions. This is what I learned at Azuza Pacific -- I learned to use the Bible to make right decisions and to converse with my peers about those decisions to confirm their correctness. The principals of Christianity mandate certain fruits of the spirit, certain moral actions, and faith. I believe these are what should be modeled to the students. Garlikov (2000) notes that one of the main obstacles to teaching morality in the public schools is the fact that current schools of education do not require teachers to learn moral philosophy. At Azuza Pacific, I believe I have had a different experience, and I plan to use the moral philosophy...
In addition to offering this period each day when students can discuss their moral problems, I plan to be available to my students to talk on a one-on-one basis and I plan to be an advocate among other faculty for teaching students to have a moral compass.
Multicultural education researchers and educators agree that preservice teachers' attitudes, beliefs, and understandings are important: foci in multicultural education coursework (Cochran-Smith, 1995; Grant & Secada, 1990; McDiarmid & Price, 1993; Pohan, 1996). Teacher attitudes and beliefs influence teaching behaviors, which affect student learning and behavior (Wiest, 1998)." 1996 study used 492 pre-service teachers to try and gauge the attitudes and beliefs among the group when it came to understanding diversity and
Understanding Moral Intelligence Introduction Moral intelligence is a crucial aspect of our cognitive abilities that guides us in making ethical decisions and understanding right from wrong. It is the capacity to understand the ethical principles that govern human behavior and to apply them in daily life. This unique form of intelligence goes beyond traditional measures of intelligence, such as IQ, and focuses on the development of a person's character and values. Unlike other
Morality, Culture, And Environment The ideas behind morality are very different based on the culture, society, and environment in which that morality is seen. Because of that, there are questions regarding exactly what morality is, and how it can be addressed or understood. In short, what is moral to one person may not seem moral to another. Society as a whole generally determines what is acceptable within that society, but once
Fichte separate right from morality and is it a good thing? Should they be separated? Fichte's Philosophy of Right and Ethics Why does Fichte separate right from morality and is it a good thing? Should they be separated? Moral and political anxieties animate Fichte's entire philosophy and his perceptions to these issues that are innovative and at times tied together. His responses to Kant's vital philosophy in 1790 was a retaliation to
A moral compass refers to the attributes that individuals and groups use to guide their lives with a sense of purpose and direction.[footnoteRef:2] Although different faiths subscribe to various types of “moral compass points,” the moral compass advocated by the United Methodist Church provides a useful example that can be used to gain a better understanding concerning its purpose and tenets as well as how these can help improve people’s
His impetuous style however drove him in a series of aviation accidents that often caused the concern of his close ones.
