Inspiration of Comenius Moral Education to Moral Education in Primary and Secondary Schools

Comenius absorbed the essence of ancient Greek Plato and Aristotle’s moral cultivation, and proposed that moral education should achieve good virtues of wisdom, moderation, perseverance, and integrity, and regarded these virtues as the yardstick to measure a person’s moral cultivation. Taking this as a reference, contemporary teachers should shape good morality by early education and practice, solidify good morality with moral education environment, and warn bad morality with admonition and discipline. Comenius’ moral education enlightens today’s children’s education: taking caring for children as the foothold; optimizing teachers’ moral education; creating a collective atmosphere of moral learning; and improving the frequency and quality of moral practice activities.
