托马斯·里克纳在确立尊重与责任为核心价值观的基础上,把由道德认知、道德体会与道德行为三要素有机结合而成的“品格教育”视为中小学生道德养成理论的核心内容。根据这一理论,托马斯·里克纳提出了开展隐性教育,营造校园道德文化气氛、课程教育、民主模式的课堂生活、故事讨论法及角色模拟训练等道德养成的途径和方法。这些理论与实践策略对当前我国中小学生道德教育有着重要的借鉴意义。 On the basis of establishing the values ​​of respect and responsibility, Thomas Rickner regarded “character education”, which is a combination of three elements of moral cognition, moral experience and moral behavior, as the core of moral education theory of primary and secondary school students . According to this theory, Thomas Rickner put forward ways and means of developing recessive education, creating moral atmosphere of campus, curriculum education, classroom life of democratic mode, story discussion method and role simulation training. These theories and practical strategies have an important reference to the current moral education of primary and secondary school students in our country.
