A Plan of Integrated Activities "Thinking about a Way of Life" In Combination with Learning about Relationships, Learning about One's Self, and Learning about Other Ways of Life

Thinking about a way of life is chiefly learned in moral instruction. There are two patterns of moral instruction these days. One is inculcation, the other is value clarification (the cognitive developmental approach).Value clarification is useful for students to learn about the way of their lives. But the weak point is that the experience in the moral instruction is not a real one. Experiences are needed for them. These are feasible in integrated activities. When they think of a way to live their lives, it is important to learn about relationships, one's self, and other's lives. So in this report a plan of integrated activities, "thinking about a way of life," is suggested. To be more concrete, it is combined with learning about relationships, ones' self, and learning other's lives.Article信州大学教育学部附属教育実践総合センター紀要 教育実践研究 2: 55-64(2001)departmental bulletin pape
