There are many ways to teach moral development in schools throughout the education system. Each way has its own outcome and looks at morality in a different way. The different ways of teaching moral development in education are character education, values ​​clarification, cognitive moral education, and service learning. Character education is a direct approach to moral education that involves teaching students basic moral literacy to prevent them from engaging in immoral behavior or performing immoral actions. harm to oneself or others. Character education is a moral code that clearly states and communicates to students what is right and what is wrong. By putting this in my high school economics class, I enforced the rules we learned throughout our years in school, such as how cheating, stealing, and lying are wrong and you shouldn't do it. Some strengths of character education are that it teaches students what is right or wrong in different situations and promotes different values. Some weaknesses of character education are that it is sometimes seen as a conflict with the general education curriculum, teachers may not want to incorporate it into their curriculum for different reasons and because of the diversity among different cultures. (Santrock, p. 240) Values ​​clarification is an educational approach that focuses on helping people clarify what is important to them, what is worth working for, and what purpose their life should serve. Students are encouraged to define their own values ​​and understand those of others. This encourages students to define their own values ​​and understand that not everyone has the same values. In my high school economics class, most students should already know this well enough that it doesn't have to be... middle of paper... in the handout. When I helped gather food for the pantry or even when I went to the shelter with a group of people to prepare dinner for the people there, it always made me appreciate more what I have and what my parents do for me. There are many strengths and weaknesses in this approach, I have talked about some of the strengths I have had with this approach, but another is that it could increase the self-esteem of the students they help. Some weaknesses of this approach would be that some students try everything they can to avoid having to do so, it could also cause some racial problems with students in schools, let's say a group of kids go to the shelter and help and when they arrive later they talk about how most of the people present are of the same race and this could lead to racial problems within schools and/or among peers outside of school.
