SPECIFIC STRATEGIES OF MORAL AND CIVIC EDUCATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The paper highlights the efficiency of some strategies used in the educational process in order to fulfil the desiderata of moral and civic education of primary school students. To this purpose, the following objectives have been established: to know the level of formation of notions and moral-civic skills for very young students; to project and develop an educational approach centred upon students’ moral and civic education; to refine the formative and educational values of the activities projected and developed; to evaluate the progress registered by students during and at the end of the applicative stage. The applicative research has been conducted by using several methods and tools: psycho-pedagogical experimental design, observation, conversation and analysis of activity products. The analysis of the data obtained throughout the research confirms the general hypothesis concerning the efficiency of the formative steps projected and taken with primary school students. It also enhances the formative value of the activities focusing on the crystallization of the structural elements of moral conscience and conduct which gradually shape the morality core of personality.

Key words: moral-civic behaviour, moral personality, psycho-pedagogical experiment, strategies for moral-civic education
