R.S. Peters’ comprehensive theory of moral education

100%
EN
Abstract. This article presents R.S. Peters’ theory of moral education embedded in his broad conception of morality. The author examines Peters’ views against the background of Kohlberg’s stage theory of moral development; hence, the positions of both thinkers are interwoven throughout the discussion. It addresses some central issues relevant to moral education such as, for example: cognitive and affective aspects of morality, and the acquisition of virtues. In the article the author argues that Peters’ account of moral development and moral education provides supplementation for the somewhat narrow theory developed by Kohlberg, thus establishing a broader framework relevant to moral education.

Educating compassionate beings

EN
This paper explores the notion of compassion and points to some intricacies inherent in it, in particular the paradox of egocentrism. Most ambiguous is its ontological status: is it an emotion, a virtue, a moral commitment, or a neurological reflex? Each category entails different implications for the process of educating compassionate beings. The conclusion is that genuine compassion is, from the very beginning, not just mere feeling, it is based on the recognition of rights of others. A person in need is much more than the object of our noble compassionate feelings and caring help, she is the subject of rights

The present text is a comparative analysis of models of school moral education due to the criteria of the moral competence development. We refer to the already described in the literature models: clarification of values, stimulate moral reasoning, formation of character and community justice. These models will be confronted with moral competence, which we understand as a system of knowledge of the values, skills, moral activities and taking responsibility for their actions. Results of the analysis showed that the model of community justice best meets with the criteria of moral competences.

Prosocial development and character education are those of highest important challenges for contemporary school. The aim of present study is to examine how pupils perceive their own prosociality, how they evaluate the classmates, what are the assessements made by teachers, and whether there is a coherency between them which could be enounced in general. The study is part of a wider experimental research plan focused on the effects of ethics education in pre-research phase. Authors used the revised version of Roche‘s Prosocial Behaviour Scale (1998) for school population of 254 fifth and sixth grade‘s pupils (132 boys) in the age from 10 to 12. Results show significant differences in self-perception and other-percetion mainly based upon sex, not linear only. Teachers perceive the girls as more prosocial than the girls perceive themselves, and by contrast teachers evaluate the boys more negatively than the boys see themselves. In general, boys consider themselves more prosocial than they are seen by others; by girls this inadequacy disappears. If compare the age, 5th and 6th grade respectively, the strongest differences were investigated in group of teachers who perceive the younger pupils significantly more prosocial. Family situation plays role when a child lives only with father. In this case a child self-perception of prosociality is strongly worse than it is percepted by others.

Rozvoj prosociálnosti a výchova charakteru sú jednými z najvýznamnejších výziev súčasnej školy. Cieľom štúdie, ktorá je súčasťou predprieskumnej fázy širšieho experimentálneho skúmania efektov etickej výchovy, je zistiť, ako žiaci v kontexte tohto školského predmetu vnímajú vlastnú úroveň prosociálnosti, ako hodnotia svojich spolužiakov, ako ich hodnotia učitelia a či sú medzi týmito hodnoteniami zovšeobecniteľné súvislosti. Autori použili revidovanú verziu Rocheho dotazníka prosociálneho správania na vzorke 254 žiakov (132 chlapcov) vo veku 10–12 rokov (piaty a šiesty ročník ZŠ). Výsledky ukazujú signifikantné rozdiely v sebahodnotení aj hodnotení druhých, predovšetkým na základe pohlavia. Avšak nielen lineárne. Učitelia hodnotia dievčatá ako prosociálnejšie, než sa hodnotia ony samy, a naopak chlapcov hodnotia negatívnejšie, než sa chlapci vidia sami. Chlapci sami sa hodnotia prosociálnejšie, než ich vidia ostatní, u dievčat sa tento nepomer stráca. Vek, v porovnaní 5-tych a 6-tych ročníkov, zohráva zreteľnú rolu najmä u učiteľov, ktorí signifikantne pozitívnejšie vnímajú mladších žiakov. Úplnosť rodiny (dieťa žije v domácnosti s matkou aj otcom) ako premenná neukazuje evidentné rozdiely vo vnímaní žiakov v porovnaní so situáciou, keď dieťa býva len s matkou. Avšak v prípade, keď dieťa žije len s otcom, jeho sebavnímanie prosociálnosti je značne negatívnejšie, než je ono vnímané ostatnými.

The inspiration for this article was a monograph entitled Sergiusz Hessen – pedagog odpowiedzialny (Sergei Hessen – the Responsible Pedagogue) by the contemporary philosopher of education Andrea Folkierska. In the abovementioned work the religious thread of pedagogical thought in the work of the polonised Russian, who like no other writer gave a specific trait to 20th-century philosophical pedagogy in Poland, was omitted in complete silence. The article comprises five points. Firstly, the author attempts to define the causes which have led to the contemporary renaissance in Hessen’s thought to the depreciation of the religious references contained in his texts. In the next point he indicates the locus philosophicus, in which Hessen’s concept of the „dialectic relationship” between moral upbringing and religion. After this, in the third point the author postulates the replacement of unclean dialectic, i.e. the two-factored dialectic almost unanimously accepted in the most recent interpretations as the paradigm of the famous Russian’s philosophy of upbringing with the aporetic (Gr. aporia – difficulty). On this backdrop, the fourth point contains consideration of Hessen’s definition of pedagogy as „applied philosophy”. Finally, the author considers the influence of religion on the process of morally becoming human presented by Hessen, particularly with reference to the Christian understanding of God as the supreme (saving) Good, and full of Love.

The development of pre-school education and national preschool pedagogy in the 60th of the 20th century was characterized by the search for more perfect forms and meanings. There were difficulties, but scientific pedagogy, pedagogical practices departed from authoritarianism. The researchers and advanced educators sought to update the educational technologies. Several studies of this period deal with moral development of children of primary school age. For example, T. Markova, R. Zhukovs’ka showed how the moral development of young children was held under the influence of their communication with children of senior preschool age. The researchers emphasized that moral education of young children was outlined the definite sequence. In the studies published in the collection of scientific papers «Formation of Collective Relations of Senior Preschool Children» there were considered the basic theoretical aspects of the problem. The authors aimed to reveal the specifics of the emergence and strengthening of the relations of preschool children. In the quality of the basic research methods there were used the observations and further analysis of the relationships of children. Along with each researcher there were created the experimental conditions in which children could more fully demonstrate their integrity. It was determined that the main objective of the research was the formation of positive moral relations between children. However, the approaches to its solution each researcher had his own. For example, V. Nechayeva made the emphasis on the mastering by children the development of the rules of conduct and the use of these rules in various independent activities. H. Hodina in accordance with the peculiarities of the problem found the special methodological approach that ensured the creation of the optimal conditions for the exercise of children’s independence. The methods used by L. Penyevs’ka allowed most closely to watch the displacements in the individual development of a child, in the nature of its assessments, where there was most clearly seen the moral orientation of a child as a member of the children’s emerging team. Historiographical analysis of the problems of moral education of preschool children has showed that there has not been conducted the holistic study of these issues. Each scholar’s approaches to the problem solving were different. It is determined that in the researches there is given the description of children’s relationship till the beginning of the research work, then there is traced the development and strengthening of the positive relationships between children, the beginning of the collective relationships during the conducting and completion of the forming experiment. There have been widely used in comparing the individual stages of moral development of children.

The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD), which is coming to an end, will offer all kinds of summaries and reflections on this issue. The aim of this paper, strictly related with the goals of the DESD, is to answer the following questions: (1) Is the Polish school ready to provide values education?; (2) How are schools trying to involve values education into the school practice?; (3) To what extent do the adopted solutions regarding programmes, curricula and textbooks match the requirements of values education, which is one of the pillars of education for sustainable development? The author presents an analysis of the content of selected curricula for the early stage of education and the textbooks used at this stage, paying special attention to values education based on pupils' and teachers' activities and experiences. The results of the analysis provide an unequivocal answer to the extent to which we are prepared to provide or to implement values education at this stage of instruction.

The main aim of the presented paper is to suggest a new possible approach in moral education in Slovakia. The starting point for the presented argumentation is the position that moral education (ethics education) in Slovakia is based on insufficient foundations. One of the possible propositions of how to overcome this shortcoming is to supersede prosocial behavior (insufficient base) with value education and promotion of the development of critical and analytical moral thinking. The paper suggests that one of the possible ways how to achieve this goal is by the help of introducing the issue of moral (ethical) consumption as a topic of moral education.

Already at the preliminary stage of the analysis the convergence of the ethical positions of the M. Lipman’s “Philosophy for Children” educational program and the views presented by Leszek Kołakowski in the essay “Ethics without Codex” is visible. The common, dominant feature of both of them is the rejection in the moral conduct of an attitude characterised by the desire to have a moral code, whereas they justify their anti-code stance in mostly the same way. The author briefly sketches these arguments and present the requirements that a moral subject who does not follow the code must fulfil. Finally, the author of the article indicates the character of moral education postulated by both authors considered here.

In my article, I will give a short historical overview of inclusion-research. The focus lies on relation between moral and inclusion. I will introduce three branches of inclusion research and deduce my definition of inclusion from it. Inclusion can be understood as a dynamic process of realizing of equal participation on the one hand and of entitlement to diversity on the other hand. That means, inclusion lives from the solution of its immanent conflict- the conflict between equality and diversity. Therefore, I assume that “the ability to solve problems and conflicts on the basis of universal moral principles by means of deliberation and discussion, instead of using violence, deceit and coercion, or more specifically… the ability to judge arguments in regard to their moral quality instead of their opinion-agreement” (Lind 2016) is urgently needed. This ability is an important precondition for realizing inclusion. Following educational theory of morality by Lind and others, it’s not necessary to change the moral attitudes (moral orientation) in persons that are involved in the process of inclusion. It’s more important to improve their inclusive ability and their inclusive behavior. Inclusive behavior means a behavior with which shows recognition of both: of diversity of all as well as of the dignity of each individual. On this theoretical basis, I furthermore want to introduce a little research project carried out by the author in Vocational School Centre. The aim of this project was to improve the inclusive behavior by using the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion®.

The long-term process of education, and above all, shaping the desired social attitudes among young citizens of each country is the basis of the future social order. Individual moral order translates directly into order in social structures and relations, which is important in the context of ensuring both internal and external security. In an orderly society, the so-called “strong moral backbone” is much more resistant to threats, and also much more effective in counteracting them. Unfortunately, the issue of moral education is not much emphasised in contemporary educational systems. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to identify the components of the moral education process as key factors shaping the contemporary order and social security. Thus, the issues of moral disorder as a source of real threats, both in the individual and social dimension, as well as the problem of moral education as the basis for shaping the desired social attitudes in the contemporary world, were analysed. In order to achieve the assumed goal, the following research methods (theoretical) were used: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, explanation, generalization, and inference. The research was carried out using the technique of examining documents and source materials.

Nuisance for the people living in areas covered by the direct or indirect impact of the mining industry is an important social problem. The development of the mining industry depends on high environmental requirements, in particular, it is closely related to the fulfillment of obligations of safety for human health and life. Through consultation with the local society and targeted actions degraded land can become attractive. In contrast, the lack of reclamation leads to the intensification of negative phenomena: erosion, surface mass movements, changes in the ecosystem, eutrophication of water tanks. Maintaining balance in the natural environment is the basic criterion for the proper functioning of industrial facilities. Mining activity is a threat to the environment, including human health and life. Use of the environment by mining is subject to adjustment to the legislation and carrying out mining activities in line with environmental requirements. Mining activities and nature protection can operate in a sustainable manner. Appropriate selection of methods for mineral exploitation allows you to minimize the impact on the environment components. The positive impact of opencast mining is reflected in the creation of new habitats of plants and animals in post-mining areas, in the creation of new recreation places, in diversifying the landscape thanks to the construction of water reservoirs. Lakes formed after use of natural aggregates overgrown vegetation reed, acting as a convenient place to settle th e water birds.

L’objectif de cet article est de montrer que dans son poème De rerum natura, Lucrèce n’a pas seulement inclus l'éthique épicurienne, mais l’a intégrée autant que la partie majeure de son oeuvre. La présence, l’étendue et la forme des éléments épicuriens permettent de les considérer comme matériel suffisant qui justifie l’analyse effectuée. Dans la première partie de l’article, l’auteur démontre que Lucrèce – pour des raisons doctrinales – n’a pas pu interpréter uniquement la physique épicurienne et a construit son oeuvre comme une sorte de compendium de la totalité de la doctrine épicurienne. Dans la partie suivante, l’auteur montre l’ampleur de la synonymie éthique contenue dans le poème et les fragments de l'oeuvre analysée où l’éthique est largement débattue, en employant comme critère d’analyse le lexique du caractère éthique dans De rerum natura.

This article aims at examining to what extent Macer’s theory “sustainable development chair” (where cultural education, and the axiology and moral education within it comprises one of four fundamentals of education for sustainable development) is reflected in the capacity of knowledge and skills obtained by pedagogy students PWSZ in Chelm. The starting point for consideration is to present and analyse the questionnaire results carried out by students of the 1st and 3rd year of pedagogy PWSZ in Chelm. These results became the basis for the following workshop activities performed with the drama method application (covering those such as improvisation with the literary text, body movement and voice performance, role play). The authors intended, first of all, to assess students’ integrated order concept understanding (and within this concept: axiology and moral education) implemented with traditional instructional methods, and then innovative (drama and staging ones); secondly, to obtain materials enabling the most effective methods of education for balanced development implementation to be defined. An additive element of conducted activities was the analysis of potential students’ engagement into a new idea implementation.

W artykule tym przedstawia się relacje między edukacją domową a wychowaniem w jego ośrodkowym, moralnym sensie. Zaprezentowano tu najpierw, obok definicji kluczowych pojęć, uwagi o politycznym statusie edukacji. Określona została – tak co do motywów dla jej podejmowania, jak i pragmatycznych modalności – edukacja domowa. Owe modalności odniesiono wreszcie do edukacji moralnej, jako egzemplifikacje przywołując obrazy pędzla mistrzów malarstwa europejskiego. Całość podkreśla niesubstytuowalną rolę rodziny w wychowywaniu dziecka.

The aim of the article is to attempt to present the role of a teacher in the process of moral education in the opinion of the authors publishing in the teachers’ journal “Pedagogical Review” based on the analysis of its issues from the years 1918–1939. Moral education in the interwar period was a subject of interest in pedagogical circles both in Poland and abroad. This was related to the popularity of the slogans of the New Education as well as the moral revival sought after the First World War. The authors publishing in the “Pedagogical Review” believed that, next to the parents, it is the teachers who should play the most important role in the process of moral education of children. Their personal example, the use of a wide range of educational methods and influence in various educational areas were the most important factors shaping the educational environment for the moral education of the young generation of Poles.

This paper explores the audience’s response to the eschatological myths in the Gorgias, the Phaedo, and the Republic by reconstructing a concept of aesthetic experience in the light of Plato’s ideas on pleasure. I argue for a kind of pleasure that has emotional and intellectual components, which make it a combination of pure and mixed pleasures. This kind of pleasure, which these myths produce, is meant to strengthen virtue because feeling pleasure from listening to a story provides a model for our character and shapes it accordingly. These myths thus provide an incentive for choosing a virtuous life.
