Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Character Education Methods The restriction of interest to public school methods does not mean that the Donor and the members of the Institution do not sympathize with the great service which private and church schools render the Nation, but it does mean that they appreciate the fact that the public school is the only public expression of direct interest on the part of all the people of the Nation in the preparation of the Nation's boys and girls for their life as citizens of the republic and of the states of which it is composed. In all fields of education, save that of religious education, which is assigned to the churches (each church furnishing in its own way the religious sanctions for conduct to its own children), the public schools should strive to be complete in their service; but the national system of public education is not now complete, because, while intellectual education is fairly well developed, vocational and physical education are only partly provided, and character education on human motives, covering the wisdom of human experience, although recognized by school authorities and by parents as the supremely important phase of public education, is undeveloped and often neglected. The right to compete was limited. For the purpose of this research and competition there was formed in most of the states of the United States of North America a group of research educators to be designated as "Character Education Collaborators," not to exceed nine in number. All other persons interested were privileged to cooperate by means of advice. Keen, discerning, thorough, constructive thinking is the highest kind of human action. "Group thinking" of this character, by people organized to think together, which utilizes the best insight of each member of the group, is the highest form of this highest kind of human action. This form of thinking is necessary when an effort is made to solve the problems of character education of children, because the facts of the moral life of children are hidden away in personal memory. A compilation or accumulation of the memories of childhood and of observations is essential to an adequate basis for thinking out the general principles of character education. In order to give the 432 collaborators in this research a good start in their thinking, another offer was made by "The Donor," namely, that he would pay for the compilation of a volume of extracts from educational literature having a bearing on character education. One copy of this volume was for the chairman of research in each state, and at the close of the year was deposited as a gift in the office of the state commissioner or superintendent of education. The fifty extra copies were put on loan to collaborators during the research, and will be loaned now to any educator who may be making a special study of principles of character education. This volume contains six hundred pages of condensed extracts, done under the editorship of Dr. Harris L. Latham, and is called "The Donor's Library on Character Education, Volume I." Only one hundred copies could be printed, and the cost of editorial work and printing was about $5,000. The Executive Committee suggested to the collaborators that their study of the problems of character education of children be as complete and thorough as possible so that they would be likely to discover and combine in their plans all the elements essential to success in character education. A full explanation of the moral ideas to be inculcated was not necessary, because this was the problem of the National $5,000 Morality Codes Competition, 1916-1917. Methods of character education in their application to kindergarten, elementary school, junior and advanced high schools, and the preparation of teachers for character education were to be included in the researches of the collaborators.

This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an examination of the related topics of school prayer and character education in the United States, advocating for their return to public schools. According to William Jeynes, the lack of both school prayer and consistent moral instruction in our schools has had devastating consequences both for our education system and for the nation as a whole. In A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools, Jeynes makes a compelling case for restoring moral instruction and nonspecific religious moments to the classroom as a way of restoring a much needed moral grounding in American society in general. A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools traces the history of character education in the public schools, including coverage of leading advocates of their inclusion from Thomas Jefferson to DeWitt Clinton to Horace Mann. Jeynes then offers a broad survey of the country since the Supreme Court decisions of 1962 and 1963, asserting that most of America's greatest problems are moral in nature, and could be addressed by making moral instruction and a focus on the spiritual a part of our young citizens' school lives.

Download or read book Moral Education in America written by B. Edward McClellan and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This one-of-a-kind, comprehensive history of moral education in American schools provides an invaluable historical context for contemporary debates. McClellan traces American traditions of moral education from the colonial era to the present, illuminating both debates about the subject and actual practices in public and private schools, colleges, and universities. He pays particular attention to changing fashions in pedagogy, to church–state conflicts, to the long decline of character training in the schools, and to recent efforts to restore moral education to its once-honored place. The book concludes with a thorough examination of recent theorists, including Lawrence Kohlberg, William J. Bennett, Carol Gilligan, and Nel Noddings, and an appraisal of current practice in American schools. “In an age of specialists who quite productively write books on relatively narrow subjects imbedded in short time periods, McClellan writes effortlessly about the grand themes and social practices in the history of moral education and character training over several centuries.” —From the Foreword by William J. Reese “I would highly recommend this work to anyone interested in educational policy in general and moral education in particular. . . .There is nothing presently available that is comparable in scope, balance, intellectual coherence, and readability.” —Ray Hiner, University of Kansas

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the ongoing battle between religion and public education is once again a burning issue in the United States. Prayer in the classroom, the teaching of creationism, the representation of sexuality in the classroom, and the teaching of morals are just a few of the subjects over which these institutions are skirmishing. James Fraser shows that though these battles have been going on for as long as there have been public schools, there has never been any consensus about the proper relationship between religion and public education. Looking at the most difficult question of how private issues of faith can be reconciled with the very public nature of schooling, Fraser paints a picture of our multicultural society that takes our relationship with God into account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Peter Smagorinsky and Joel Taxel analyze the ways in which the perennial issue of character education has been articulated in the United States, both historically and in the current character education movement that began in earnest in the 1990s. The goal is to uncover the ideological nature of different conceptions of character education. The authors show how the current discourses are a continuation of discourse streams through which character education and the national purpose have been debated for hundreds of years, most recently in what are known as the Culture Wars--the intense, often passionate debates about morality, culture, and values carried out by politicians, religious groups, social policy foundations, and a wide range of political commentators and citizens, in which the various stakeholders have sought influence over a wide range of social and economic issues, including education. The centerpiece is a discourse analysis of proposals funded by the United States Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI). Discourse profiles from sets of states that exhibit two distinct conceptions of character are examined and the documents from particular states are placed in dialogue with the OERI Request for Proposals. One profile reflects the dominant perspective promoted in the U.S., based on an authoritarian view in which young people are indoctrinated into the value system of presumably virtuous adults through didactic instruction. The other reflects the well-established yet currently marginal discourse emphasizing attention to the whole environment in which character is developed and enacted and in which reflection on morality, rather than didactic instruction in morality, is the primary instructional approach. By focusing on these two distinct regions and their conceptions of character, the authors situate the character education movement at the turn of the twenty-first century in the context of historical notions about the nature of character and regional conceptions regarding the nature of societal organization. This enlightening volume is relevant to scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and students across the field of education, particularly those involved in character education, moral development, discourse analysis, history and cultural foundations of education, and related fields, and to the wider public interested in character education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Religion and Morals The present place of religious and moral education in our civilisation is paradoxical. Everybody knows that the moral health of society and the progress of religion depend largely, if not chiefly, upon the training of the young in matters that pertain to character, yet no other part of education receives so little specific attention. The growth of popular government has increased the importance of high character in the people, yet no substitute has been found, one has scarcely been sought, for the dogmatic religious instruction that has been properly excluded from the people's schools. At a time when the massing of the people in cities is exposing children as never before to the forces of evil, family training in religion and morals suffers, according to all accounts, a decline. At the bloom period of the Sunday school, complaints arise that the populace is ignorant, perhaps growingly so, of the Bible, and that the rate of accessions to the churches is decreasing.
