Download or read book Education with Character written by James Arthur and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment of citizenship education as a compulsory subject has recently been accompanied by the government's policy of 'promoting education with character.' Schools are identified as having a crucial role to play in helping to shape and reinforce basic character traits that will ultimately lead to a better society. This radical new policy is explicitly linked to raising academic standards and to the needs of the emerging new economy. This book provides an introduction to character education within the British context by exploring its meanings, understandings, and rationale, through the perspective of a number of academic disciplines. The author examines character education from a philosophical, religious, psychological, political, social and economic perspective to offer a more detailed understanding of character education and what it can offer. He also considers how British schools can implement character education successfully and what lessons we can draw from the American experience. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers, policy makers and teachers with responsibility for citizenship education in their schools.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1991, many persons have been concerned with teaching students moral values in public schools. One popular approach to teaching values has been a literature-based character education program. This study examined the effectiveness of a literature-based character education program in a special education class. Following the collection of baseline data from two elementary school Special Day Classes, the program class (Class A) was taught the moral values of honesty, caring, hard work, and sharing for four weeks using a literature-based approach. The control class (Class B) had no formalized character education program. The classes were then compared by examining changes on three scales: the number of disciplinary referrals, student examples of living out the values, and teacher surveys about student behavior. During the testing period, students in Class B reduced their rate of disciplinary referrals by a greater amount than the students in Class A. On the other hand, the students in Class A showed a greater improvement than the Class B students in their ability to write personal examples of the moral values, demonstrating that the Class A students learned to relate knowledge about the four character values to their personal lives. The teacher surveys documented that student behaviors, especially honesty, were positively changed by the character education program in Class A. The daily reinforcement of character-based literature, conversation, role-playing, and writing helped the students in Class A to improve their behavior. Overall, the results of the study were mixed, indicating the need for further research about how best to teach character values to students in a Special Day Class.

Download or read book A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools written by William Jeynes and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an examination of the related topics of school prayer and character education in the United States, advocating for their return to public schools. According to William Jeynes, the lack of both school prayer and consistent moral instruction in our schools has had devastating consequences both for our education system and for the nation as a whole. In A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools, Jeynes makes a compelling case for restoring moral instruction and nonspecific religious moments to the classroom as a way of restoring a much needed moral grounding in American society in general. A Call for Character Education and Prayer in the Schools traces the history of character education in the public schools, including coverage of leading advocates of their inclusion from Thomas Jefferson to DeWitt Clinton to Horace Mann. Jeynes then offers a broad survey of the country since the Supreme Court decisions of 1962 and 1963, asserting that most of America's greatest problems are moral in nature, and could be addressed by making moral instruction and a focus on the spiritual a part of our young citizens' school lives.
