3. Moral education in practice.
Models of moral education lessons
The pedagogy of moral education classtime is not prescribed. Practice is shared
in professional development in interaction with optional textbooks, which are not
followed strictly. Nonetheless, practice sharing often refines examples of good
practice, which are adopted as a default structure (see section 5).
Features of these models may not be entirely unfamiliar to UK educators.
Hopefully, these will serve as examples for deeper consideration of the aims and
objectives of moral education in the context of Japanese elementary school.
