A revisit of 'moral and character education' subject in junior-high school in China [electronic resource] / Jianqiang Liang. - pp. 103-111.

Moral education is a practice to promote the moral competence of adolescents, particularly in nurturing their moral judgement and moral behaviour. In China, under the rapid development of social work practice at schools, moral education could serve as a collaborative point between teachers, school counsellors, social workers and policymakers to promote the moral, holistic and healthy development of students. However, moral education is not as yet widely and systematically evaluated? particularly the details of relevant policy, curriculum, textbooks, teaching and learning approach, examination and evaluation. This paper takes an initiative to conduct a comprehensive literature review and theoretical discussion on the subject ‘Moral and Character Education’ (Sixiangpinde思想品德) which is a mandatory moral education subject for Grade 7–9 students in junior high schools in China. It also provides reflections and suggestions on how the subject and moral education could be promoted under the contexts of promotion of adolescent holistic development and involvement of social work practice. 德育教育是一項實踐以推廣青少年的道德能力,特別是培養他們的道德判斷和道德行為。在中國,於社會工作實踐在學校快速發展下,道德教育可作為教師、學校輔導員、社工及政策制定者之間的協作點,去推廣學生的道德、全面及健康發展。然而,道德教育並未得到廣泛及有系統的評估,特別是相關政策、課程、教材、教學與學習方法、考試與評估的細節。本論文先對 ‘思想品德’科目的作全面性文獻回顧及理論性討論,該學科在中國7至9年班為必修道德教育科。論文同時對此學科作反思,並且就此學科及道德教育於推廣青少年全面發展及參與社會工作實踐下提出建議。
