体谅模式由英国学校德育专家麦克菲尔及其同事所创,广泛流行于英国和北美。麦克菲尔反对道德教育中过于理性的方法,提出了以培养道德情感为主旨的体谅模式,引导学生学会关心、学会体谅,培养学生道德情感和利他主义精神。笔者认为成人学习的特点与体谅模式有着很多契合点,应当将体谅模式运用到成人高校的德育教育之中。 The mode of understanding was created by British school moral education expert McFarrell and colleagues and widely used in Britain and North America. Macfarla opposed the overly rational approach in moral education and put forward the considerate mode based on the cultivation of moral emotion to guide students to learn to care, learn to understand and cultivate students’ moral feelings and altruism spirit. The author believes that the characteristics of adult learning and considerate mode has many fit points, it should be applied to the mode of understanding of moral education in adult colleges and universities.
