Moral education idea: Moral education is the education to cultivate students' moral quality. Moral education is moral education. The differences on the specific understanding of the concept of moral education mainly focus on two aspects: first, what is the main content of moral education; The second is how to understand the process of moral education.

The purpose of moral education is to become a kind of ideological and moral education for the educated. In socialist China, it includes ideological education, political education and moral education. In the west, it generally refers to ethics education and related values education.

Moral education in a narrow sense refers to moral education. Broadly speaking, moral education should include legal education, psychological education, sex education, adolescent education, even environmental education and AIDS prevention education besides ideological, political and moral education.

The reasons for the generalization of the concept of moral education: the influence of traditional thought; The influence of Soviet pedagogy; The historical track of China's political revolution makes it so.

An overly broad definition of moral education has the following disadvantages: taking moral education as an all-encompassing category actually cancels the concept itself; There are fatal logical problems in the theoretical system; It prevents people from discussing moral education in a common context; In practice, let moral education undertake the tasks it can't undertake, but forget the most fundamental goal; In the practice of moral education, it is easy to confuse morality with politics, ideology, legal system or psychology and its educational problems in nature, and adopt the wrong educational strategy, resulting in misjudgment and misdiagnosis. We should follow the principle of "seeing more than one".

"Transformation Theory" refers to the process of moral education as "transforming a certain social ideology and morality into individual ideology and moral quality". "Internalization theory" is still an improved form of transformation theory.

In fact, the process of moral education is also the process of self-construction of moral education objects. In short, moral education is a value-oriented activity to promote the independent construction of individual morality.
