During the program, I tried to adjust my teaching style and technique in the meantime according to students learning attitude and virtue behaviors. I cross-checked the program results one by one with each other of my study by means of observations, interviews, sharing conferences, learning reports, document analysis and introspection notes, so as to increase the effectiveness and accuracy of my study.

Attitudes, behaviors and reactions of the students are positively affected after applying the designed courses, namely they do care for the others obviously better At the last, I would adjust my teaching at school and improve in future based on my study; sincerely hope this research can provide references for primary school teachers to apply virtue educations by picture books, and for further similar studies as well
