Abstract
This study on the conditions and problems in teaching ethics and morals in schools in the Jin Zhong area, Yunnan, People’s Republic of China, was aimed at meeting the following two objectives: 1) to study the contexts and problems in teaching morals and ethics and 2) to present morals and ethics teaching guidelines. This study collected data from the subjects by using questionnaires. The subjects consisted of 320 students from schools in the Jin Zhong Area, Yunnan, People’s Republic of China. According to the findings, students (55.0%) believed overall morals and ethics taught by teachers to be at a high level while some students (3.1%) believed overall morals and ethics taught by teachers to be at a low level. Teachings concerning responsible actions had the highest teaching mean score, followed by the topic of social justice. Meanwhile, the topic with the lowest teaching mean score was the topic of having a public mind. Guidelines for teaching morals and ethics had the following three parts: 1) School Administrators, who should support activities to promote morals and ethics, educational media and teacher capacity development, 2) Teachers, who should use the method of emphasizing or repeating explanations on the consequences of wrongdoing in addition to behaving as good examples to students and 3) Students, who should behave morally and impart lessons to others by beginning with household members.
