We will argue that "moral education” is an umbrella term for two quite different tasks and approaches. The first, which might better be called moral "socialization” or "training,” is the task of nurturing in children those virtues and values that make them good people. Of course, good people can make bad judgments; it's often not easy to know what is morally right. The second task of moral education is to provide students with the intellectual resources that enable them to make informed and responsible judgments about difficult matters of moral importance. Both are proper and important tasks of schools—and both cut across the curriculum.
Education
作为一门学科，教育学是一门研究教育现象及其规律的社会科学，通过对教育现象、教育问题的研究来揭示教育的一般规律。作为一类专业，教育学包括教育理论的研究（如“教育学”专业）和教育活动的实践（如师范类专业）。此外，教育学作为一门综合性学科，与社会科学其他领域常有交叉，衍生出交叉方向。教育学类专业的学习内容一般包括教育哲学、教育技术学、教育社会学、教育心理学、教育管理学、教育经济学等。
