Analyzing Moral Education Curriculum in Iran and Some Other Countries

Moral education is one of the most important subjects in education and training. To this end, we need a plan in educational sciences that is called curriculum. This scheme can only be toward the true path once it is based on an approach that is originated from principles, methods and perspectives on the culture of that country. The present study deals with the analysis of the dominant approach on moral education curriculum in Iran and some other countries. In this descriptive-analytic paper one can realize that in public education in Iran there is tendency toward morals. This approach, in the framework of course books, weakens moral education. This approach is a kind of reduction of moral education to moral informing. While in other countries, moral education is observing citizen`s moral and mostly deals with preparing the youth for roles and responsibilities as citizens.
