The theoretical assumption is that students are the main body of moral education, and moral education should give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of teachers and students, especially to recognize and respect students' subjective status and personality, and cultivate students to become social subjects with "subjective moral qualities" such as autonomy and initiative.
Activity moral education mode: This is a moral education mode focusing on moral behavior training. The theoretical assumption is that morality is a real human activity, and individual's independent activity is both the purpose and the means of moral education.
