Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the role of moral education in the traditional classroom. The paper begins with a definition of character education and then looks at its history in America. The writer finally examines the obstacles that stand in the way of its implementation in the American classroom.

From the Paper:

"When thinking about a typical school curriculum, English, mathematics, science and social studies are subjects that probably most readily come to mind. Theses subjects are part of the school's formal curriculum - the academic workload that schools intentionally supply to their students (Wynne & Ryan, 1999). Students, however, are learning much more than just a formal curriculum comprised of familiar subjects. Teachers are attempting to incorporate a system of values in education. This moral or character education comes in many forms and has many pitfalls. This literature review of moral education will shed light on the following questions: 1. What is character education? 2. How is character education implemented into the curriculum? 3. What are the obstacles in the way of teaching morals in the classroom?"
