Inhaltsangabe

Research has found that 84% of UK parents believe that teachers should encourage good morals and values in their pupils. The results of this research are not surprising. Most parents would like to see their children flourish in life and instilling the knowledge and importance of practical ethical, moral and virtuous behaviour can help children achieve this.

Virtue and acting virtuously is about thinking and doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong. Virtue is also defined as a personality trait; an inclination to act, desire, and feel that which involves the exercise of good judgment and leads to a recognizable human excellence and doing well in life. We are not born with a fixed character. It is, we suppose, partly up to ourselves what character traits we acquire; those which help us to make the most of our lives are the virtues; without them, we cannot prosper.

It is our own responsibility in seeing to it that children are taught the meaning of being a good character by practicing the virtues i.e., the ability to know what is good, to want what is good, and to do good.

The aim of the course is to introduce to children how they can achieve a moral responsibility for themselves. This practice is considered important in positively contributing to a child’s good character and self-esteem. In designing this introduction course, the major objective was to make it teacher and pupil friendly, and to keep it short enough for each subject to be taught and then discussed by the pupils within a morning or afternoon session. The course was primarily written for year 5 and 6. The course has also been recommended to parents who wish to teach their children at home.

The course does not require special teacher training or the need for extensive lesson planning. Although it is a relatively short course, it serves to highlight most of the crucial points in each of the subjects to be taught in a way that children can readily understand.
