Attitude of Teachers towards Moral Education: A Perspective of Primary Level Education

This study gauges the attitudes of primary level teachers towards Moral Education, specifically focusing on the content, context, and methods in teaching.Grounded in the belief that morality is not innate but cultivated through social interactions, the research explores how educators perceive their role in shaping students' moral development.Using a descriptive survey method, data was collected from 50 primary school teachers in the Burdwan district of West Bengal, with equal representation of male and female teachers.Analysis of the data revealed predominantly positive attitudes towards Moral Education among the sample, with no significant differences observed between male and female teachers in terms of their attitudes towards the content, context, or methods of Moral Education.However, the study acknowledges the limitations of its sampling method and calls for further research to explore attitudes among students at different educational levels and across diverse geographical areas.Despite some challenges and negative attitudes observed, the study underscores the growing importance of Moral Education in fostering positive social behavior and contributing to societal progress.
