AbstractIn this paper I explore conceptions of the embodied mind or heart-mind in three major global traditions: the Chinese (Confucian and Daoist) teachings on inner cultivation, especially the integration of hot and cold cognition (Slingerland 2014); the idea of sophrosyne or self-regulation in accord with wisdom that has long been the chief educational ideal of the Greek cultural cosmos; and the Buddhist-inspired idea of mindfulness which is now finding increasing applications in education. All three, I suggest, agree on a for our contemporary debates crucial point: that the reliably “civil” person is one whose moral development has matured to a point where their intellectual and moral capacities, their heart and mind (or “heart-mind”), achieve a degree of balanced integration. As the commonalities of these traditions are coming into view to a global community of education, we have a perhaps a new opportunity to recover a deeper sense of education that goes beyond the mere technical and instrumental competence that now preoccupies educational thought in many national and international influential reform projects.

Attention Focus

Children’s literate development is mediated by classroom talk. That same talk also mediates children’s emotional, relational, self-regulatory, and moral development. Consequently, the discourse of some literacy teaching practices may be important for shaping the course of human development, and those dimensions of human development can play reciprocal roles in children’s literate development. For example, conversations about the inner life of book characters (and authors) expand children’s social imaginations, which improve their self-regulation, social relationships, and moral development. Coincidentally, literacy learning requires cognitive self-regulation (e.g., working memory, attention, focus), social self-regulation in interactions with peers and teachers, and emotional self-regulation (e.g., frustration and anxiety). Children who develop self-regulation earlier, and to higher levels, develop decoding and reading comprehension earlier. Similarly, when children’s conversations explore the pragmatics of their linguistic interactions, such as how to disagree productively, they become more able to comprehend texts and argue persuasively but also more able to learn from and with each other. Children need to acquire “the codes,” but the ecology of acquisition matters a great deal not only for the ease of acquisition but also for the nature of the literacy that is acquired and for the trajectory of human development. Children’s social and emotional development lies squarely in the bailiwick of the language arts and the literate talk within which they are immersed. But the accompanying human development, in turn, supports literate development.

Internalization Process

In past research on moral development, moral values and cultural considerations have been widely ignored. Therefore, questions of universality and cultural specificity in the development of moral values are addressed here. First, the author reviews preconditions of moral value development, including precursors of self-construal. The internalization process of moral values reveals the importance of self-regulation capacities and the motivating dynamic of moral values. Second, the focus is on the development of moral values in diverse cultural contexts. The multilevel structure of socialization conditions is examined in light of different cultural models for moral values and their emotional components. The concluding part suggests broadening research on moral development by focusing on implications of ongoing socioeconomic and cultural changes and cultural encounters.

Educational Ideal

Globalization, Anthropology, and Existentialism (GAE) is a philosophical paradigm of PreK–12 education that adds value to a new educational ideal: professionalism, planetary thinking, and cultural pluralism. Critical pedagogy constitutes a part of this philosophy, which describes the interdependencies between teaching, learning, and environmental assessment. By comparing the Freirean approach to the affordance of new educational technologies in everyday classrooms, the authors propose an instructional dynamic and a flexible strategy. Such a strategy proves the changing roles of teacher and learner during the learning process. This chapter aims to describe the instructional dynamic and flexible strategy as integral to teaching and learning and to evaluation methods that engage learners in classroom cognitive activity. The objective of the chapter is to investigate the transition from algorithmic to empirical methods, encouraged by the increasing role of self-regulation techniques. This presents insights into the perceived significance of the new learning strategy.

The Impact

This paper discussed strategies and solutions that are carried out related to technology equality, namely technology, must be used by all students and potentially supervised by parents, appropriate assessments, preparing enrichment modules, and other things that can enrich literacy. Before learning, some teachers negotiate with students regarding the agreement on using the platform used in learning. Many platforms can be used in online learning, so it can be unclear if they do not focus on a particular platform. In addition to negotiations, it also aims to ensure that all students can access the same technology to support distance learning. Self-regulation is also an effort if it turns out that parental involvement is very weak in the learning process. However, parental involvement in the child's learning process is a must. This study describes how gadgets (positive and negative impacts) impact the mental development of children of developing age in kindergarten and elementary school at the Prof Kadirun Yahya foundation. A qualitative approach research method in this research and be used to examine a condition of a natural object, the researcher as a key instrument, data collection techniques are carried out by triangulation (observation, interviews, documentation), and the results of qualitative research are to understand the meaning, uniqueness, construct phenomena, and find hypotheses. The results of this study are that the use of gadgets has an impact on the psychological development of elementary school children. In this study, five kindergarten children and five elementary school children who used gadgets with a duration of more than 2 hours per day experienced behavioral changes. The impact is positive; children; children are easy to find information about learning and make it easier to communicate with friends. However, the negative impact of gadgets affects psychological development, especially aspects of emotional growth and moral development. In emotional growth, children who use gadgets become irritable, rebellious, imitate behavior in gadgets, and talk to themselves on gadgets. While the effect on moral development impacts discipline, children become lazy to do anything, leave their obligations to worship, and reduce learning time due to playing games and watching YouTube too often.

The thought of Gülen’s Islamic preaching originates from his view of Sufism as the spiritual life and the journey of a human life to achieve happiness in this world and hereafter. This thinking evolves and can be accepted by the global community in the contemporary era. This thought disseminates the ideas of love, tolerance, and pluralism and receives attention from over 160 countries. Then, the praxis of the Gülen’s Islamic sufi preaching manifestes into Islamic preaching practices with a methodical system that emphasizes the hizmet movement with the philanthropist and contemporary media tactics. This praxis exists in its role of producing the golden generation progressively, contributing to an increase in the positive image of Islam and Muslims and moral development of the world community.

Moral Culture

In modern society, priority is given to the cognitive development of children and, as a rule, there is no practical implementation of purposeful work in the field of emotional and moral development of preschoolers. Consequently, the integral, harmonious development of the personality is disturbed. Obviously, in the modern social and cultural environment, a purposeful approach to the emotional and moral development of the younger generation is required. The emergence in science of relatively new concepts of "emotional and moral education (ENV)" and the associated "emotional and moral development (ENR)" (OV Girfanova, VV Zaboltina, NA Kornienko, etc.) is able to find ways to optimize traditional moral education and development. These categories are associated with the actualization of the child's need for empathy and are based on a closer connection between the emotional and cognitive components. In the period of preschool childhood (sensitive 5-6 years), the foundation of emotional and moral development is laid: moral consciousness (knowledge of norms and values); emotional assessment (moral emotions and feelings); internal position of the child (moral self-regulation and behavior). This work concretizes the concept of "emotional and moral development" (EMD). Emotional and moral development is a pedagogically controlled process that is inextricably linked with the personal development of children in general, their socialization, the introduction into the world of culture - the culture of world perception, self-expression. The article actualizes the problem of professional competence of future teachers of preschool educational organizations in the field of development of emotional and moral culture in older preschool children. The adult's role as an escort is very important and responsible. The future of the child as an empathic personality or non-empathic personality depends on the educational influence of adults, on what qualities will be formed. The conducted research is aimed at an attempt to solve important problems of vocational education.
