ETHICAL EDUCATION IN PHILOSOPHY WITH CHILDREN

Etika je učenje o moralu, dok je moral skup nepisanih pravila kojima se vodimo kroz život. Etičko obrazovanje spaja etiku, moral i filozofiju. Predstavlja posebnu vrsta obrazovanja mlađih generacija, koje je neophodno da bi se djeca razvila u kvalitetne ličnosti posjedujući moć rasuđivanja. Nastava usmjerena na etičko obrazovanje mladim ljudima pomaže u razumijevanju realnosti i značaja problema morala u današnjem društvu. Filozofija s djecom pedagoški je i filozofski pravac prema kojem se djecu od ranog doba uči kako misliti. Filozofija „za“ djecu najpopularniji je pokret u sklopu filozofije s djecom, a pokreće ga Matthew Lipman. Lipman je zaslužan za populariziranje filozofiranja s djecom te se kroz nju implicira i etičko obrazovanje kao neophodno na svim filozofskim radionicama. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je opisati etičko obrazovanje u filozofiji s djecom, koliko je ono bitno i zašto. Opisati metode i pristupe učenja filozofije s djecom. Također, ukazati na mane tradicionalne nastave gdje je fokus na nastavniku, a ne na djeci. Dokazati da djeci učenje filozofije može biti zabavno i zanimljivo kroz različite radionice i projekte gdje prirodno i nesvjesno impliciraju etičko obrazovanje u svoju svakodnevnicu. Nadalje, prikazati koliko je učenje za kritičko mišljenje bitno da se razvija od malena, kako bi se sutra dijete razvilo u razboritu ličnost sa svojim vlastitim stavom. Etičko obrazovanje u filozofiji s djecom krucijalno je da bi se djeca zdravo razvila, pogotovo u današnje doba koje je prepuno „modernih“ bolesti poput depresije i anksioznosti.Ethics is the study of morality, while morality is a set of unwritten rules that guide us through life.

Teaching focused on ethical education helps young people to understand the reality and importance of moral problems in today's society. Philosophy with children is a pedagogical and philosophical direction according to which children are taught how to think from an early age. Philosophy "for" children is the most popular movement within philosophy with children, and it was started by Matthew Lipman. Lipman is responsible for popularizing philosophizing with children, and ethical education is implied through it as necessary in all philosophical workshops.

Also, point out the shortcomings of traditional teaching where the focus is on the teacher and not on the children. Prove that learning philosophy can be fun and interesting for children through various workshops and projects where they naturally and unconsciously imply ethical education in their everyday life. Furthermore, show how important learning is for critical thinking is to develop from a young age, so that tomorrow the child will develop into a prudent personality with his own attitude.
