Moral Education in the Family: Theoretical Foundations and Innovative Paths
Abstract
Family moral education serves as the cornerstone of individual socialization and the foundation of social moral construction. This paper examines the theoretical foundations, contemporary challenges, and innovative paths of moral education within the family context. The research identiffes that the moral function of the family manifests primarily through daily life practices, with ethical education and life education constituting its core components.Drawing on Emile Durkheim’s theoretical framework, which conceptualizes the family as “having moral function but not serving as a specialized moral institution,” this study emphasizes the necessity of collaborative efforts between families and schools. The life-oriented approach to moral education, which integrates ethical learning into daily family interactions, is crucial for fostering children’s altruistic tendencies and internalization of collective consciousness.
