About This Book

The author argues that the school's moral purpose is to shape conduct through social experience, making moral growth a product of participation in a cooperative school community, curricular choices, and teaching methods that tie subject matter to practical consequences. He distinguishes moral ideas that influence behavior from abstract notions about morality, examines how classroom organization and pedagogy cultivate habits of responsibility, and analyzes psychological processes by which instruction functions as moral training. Practical chapters show how course content and school social life can be arranged to promote cooperative habits, reflective judgment, and civic-minded dispositions.
