MORAL DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD THROUGH CENTRAL LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Abstract

The cultivation of moral development during childhood holds great significance in contemporary education as it constitutes an effort to mold the character of the younger generation. One viable approach for this purpose is learning-centered education, a child-focused educational method dedicated to fostering moral values within a learning environment. This study aims to investigate and analyze efforts in ethical development facilitated through learning centers within educational settings. The research methodology employed is qualitative description complemented by document research, with data collection conducted through the analysis of documents (diaries). The findings of the study indicate that learning centers serve as effective tools in nurturing students' moral character, placing emphasis on values such as honesty, responsibility, and empathy. Factors such as the teacher's role, curriculum design, and student interactions are crucial in determining the success of ethical learning centers. These discoveries offer valuable insights for curriculum designers, educators, and stakeholders in their efforts to enhance the moral fabric of the younger generation.
