Character Education: the Case of America
Journal Title: Marife Dini Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
After the industrial revolution in the West, while a rapid change was lived in the lives of societies, many institutions were affected by this development negatively. In order to eliminate these effects, many attempts have been made. One of the efforts to eliminate these effects was the establishment of character education programs in educational curriculums. Character education was raised in the nineteenth century as an inclusive concept which promoted moral values, ethics and citizenship in educational contexts. This article examines character education which has been discussed seriously since the middle of the nineteenth century in the USA. Character education is elaborated under four subtitles such as the definition and aims of character education, the historical development of character education, the reasons for character education and the future of character education based on the experience of the USA.
