Title: Foundation of Moral Education:Arousing and Developing Students' Moral Needs
Abstract: Quality-oriented education can be promoted by cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability in moral education.However,there are some mistaken ideas in this field both in theory and in practice.Moral education is only regarded as the way of disciplining students in their moral conduct,so it relies too much on moral instillation and students' moral needs are often neglected.As a result,not much has been achieved in moral education.Studies in moral psychology have proved that need is the source of one's initiative and the psychological basis for motivation.So in order to improve the effectiveness of moral education,students' moral needs should be taken as the starting point.Besides,the moral motivation should be aroused in a human-oriented way: by creating rich and real-life situations for moral education,thereby leading students to moral conduct,by holding discussion and making candid talks to improve their ability to make moral judgment,thus making them command their conduct morally.
