| Summary: | Since 2018, the decision of the Japanese government to include 'moral education' as an official school subject has stirred various controversies. From a historical perspective, according to critics, moral education as a school subject in the pre-Pacific War era in Japan was at the centre of the militaristic educational program of the country. Further issues involve objections against the contents of the Japanese moral education and the method of evaluating students learning the subject. The current study seeks to survey the process in which moral education developed in Japan during the Meiji Era, as well as, the 'moral training debate' surrounding the contents and methodologies of moral education, to provide implications about the controversy. |
