The viability of philosophy of education as a distinct and valued field of inquiry in educational research is under significant threat. While the debate over the proper role and value of philosophy of education continues, courses and faculty positions in philosophy of education become increasingly rare. I advance the view that this situation requires philosophers of education find new ways to bring their work to practicing educators. I propose a particular kind of normative analysis, within the context of moral education, as one way to bring valuable philosophic work to the daily practice of teaching. It is argued that the use of normative criteria, comprised of certain key characteristics for moral education, can serve not only as valuable analytic tools but may also draw practicing educators into conversations that generally take place between philosophers of education in the academy.

<p>The reason for this publication has been our interest in educational issues on the one hand, and, on the other, in the philosophy of education of J. Dewey. This resulted in further approaching the philosophy of Pragmatism and considering its influence on J. Dewey’s philosophy of education. At the same time, we have sought the influences on his work from Aristotelian thought. In this direction, we show that the American philosopher considered the philosophy of pragmatism as applicable to a democratic education, which is also considered to be moral education.</p>

Morality is a trait attached to a person and becomes his identity. Noble character is the main foundation in the formation of a perfect Muslim. In order to form a noble person, it is very important to do an early effort in building the values of noble morals, including through education. However, it is not easy to instill good morals through education. There are a number of problems encountered, namely the lack of teacher exemplary (educator); school atmosphere that is not conducive; schools are less than optimal in the actualization of morals; diverse student characters who come from diverse families; lack of communication between parents of students and schools (institutions); and the negative impact of the current modernization which is increasingly unstoppable. In this case Rasulullah SAW through some of the hadith gives a picture of morals that should be applied by educators and students in everyday life, such as; respect for educators and students, good manners in the majlis of science, being gentle and so on. The implementation of moral values can be done with the method of habituation, giving examples (daily practice), direct advice as well as criticism or satire subtly into all relevant subjects especially in religious education and citizenship, integrating moral education into activities that are programmed or planned, establishing communication or collaboration between educational institutions and parents of students, and optimizing the role models of educators.

Explore the major ideological patterns of development of a socially philosophies of education in the context of the problems of institutionalization of knowledge about human and social development. To analyse system-integration aspect of social philosophy and education management in interaction with model of «new humanism» in formation of socially valuable orientations. Classification existing in the western philosophy of education and education of directions is spent, proceeding from basic principles of philosophical school or a current, first of all considering those the purpose and means which are really involved by them in process of education, social development and socially-moral education and being based on the basic installations, the purpose expressed by that or other direction, how its supporters imagine the person, its requirement, a social role, behaviour which the education system and education urged to form. Considering growing requirement of a practical embodiment of ideas of freedom, justice, aspiration to realisation of the human rights proclaimed a society, supporters of the concept of «new humanism» see the main objective in blocking a way to conformism, to a manipulation behaviour of the person and to create conditions for its free self-expression, for realisation by the person of a fundamental choice of acts in a concrete situation and by that to warn danger of formation of the unified form of behaviour. In it principles of «new humanism» approach with a position of  instrumentalism and neopragmatism. Before social philosophy of education/upbringing  it is necessary to define a problem factors which cause achievement of its main objective, to state an estimation to moral principles and personal qualities with which actually the education/education theory connects realisation of the problems, to show, why these, instead of any any other principles and qualities open to the person possibility to choose in a concrete situation socially powerful both morally defensible and comprehensible line of conduct in public the relation. Statement of a question on necessity of the philosophical analysis of problems of education and education in a social context serves as an indicator of understanding philosophers, teachers of an increasing role of the human and moral factor in society development. And, at last, the aspiration to develop socially-philosophical bases of pedagogics in general and education in particular, testifies that the western and domestic philosophers, teachers, representatives of social and psychological sciences, at least, the majority of them, have realised the public importance of an education system and education, its global character.

Beginning with a survey of Bahá’í writings and of emerging Bahá’í approaches to education, the article charts the Macau-based School of the Nations’ philosophy of education and considers its implications for the school’s curriculum development process. The article then proposes that the cooperative approach to education offers a potential instructional model within which Bahá’í principles and ideals, with their emphasis on moral education, participation, cooperation, and consultation, could be effectively implemented. Finally, the article discusses the school’s tentative experiments with this model and the steps taken to begin the model’s systematic implementation. The successful continuation of the project, the article suggests, will largely depend on the school’s ability to overcome the constraints imposed by the dominant competitive attitudes and practices and to gain acceptance of the value of a participatory and cooperative approach.

RESUMEN: El artículo que presentamos a continuación representa una aproximación institucional a la educación moral a través del concepto de cultura moral de los centros educativos. Un concepto que introduce elementos teóricos y prácticos para profundizar en la institución escolar como uno de los principales agentes en la formación de la personalidad moral de los chicos y chicas. A nivel teórico, la aproximación permite concretar la idea de que la escuela en su totalidad educa moralmente y que los valores se aprenden por osmosis, a través de la participación en prácticas morales. A nivel práctico, establece un mecanismo para determinar el perfil de valores de un centro, los valores predominantes de su propuesta educativa y sus indicadores en la práctica diaria. En definitiva, posibles puntos de partida en procesos de evaluación interna y de mejora e innovación pedagógicas.ABSTRACT: This article presents an approach to moral education at institutional level which incorporates the concept of moral culture in schools. The concept introduces theoretical and practical elements for studying the school institution as one of the principal agents in the education of the moral personality in children. At the theoretical level, the approach stresses the idea that the school as a whole educates morally and that values are learnt by osmosis, via participation in moral practices. At the practical level, it establishes a mechanism for determining a school's values profile, the predominant values in its educational mission and indicators for these values in daily practice. The approach highlights possible starting points for processes of internal assessment and teaching innovation.SOMMIRE: Cet article représente une approche institutionnelle à l'éducation morale par le moyen du concept de culture morale des centres éducatifs.

Du point de vu théorique, cette approche permet de concrétiser l'idée selon laquelle l'école -dans sa totalité- éduque moralement et que les valeurs sont apprises par osmose, par la participation à des pratiques morales. À niveau pratique, l'approche permet d'établir un mécanisme pour déterminer le profil des valeurs d'un centre, les valeurs prédominantes de son offre éducative ainsi que ses indicateurs dans la pratique quotidienne. En définitive, il s'agit de possibles points de départ dans des processus d'évaluation interne ainsi que d'amélioration et d'innovation pédagogiques.

The Individual

An existential-dialogical philosophy of education, mainly represented by O. Bollnow (modern «optimistic», «positive existentialism»), underlines the meaning and background of the pedagogical relationship in interpersonal relationships, the relationship between I and You. In its initial philosophical positions, it is based on the «philosophy of life» and mainly on existentialism both in the «classical» and «optimistic» versions. Supporters of this direction tend to discard the technocratic concepts which substitute for the process of education with the manipulation of person. Based on the thesis of uniqueness, the uniqueness of the individual, which is revealed in extreme situations, the supporters of this approach do not recognize the dominant role of the social environment in the formation of man. The environment, in their view, can only cause enormous damage to its moral self-development, since social institutions are aimed at the unification of personality and its behavior. Moral education, on the contrary, is intended to reveal the individual qualities and abilities of the individual, which will help to preserve the moral essence of the individual in the processes of knowledge acquisition, development of intelligence and in the education system. In the formation of a unique personality, the followers of irrationalism see an obstacle to totalitarian manifestations and dangers. In their opinion, the formation of a uniqueness, unique personality is nothing more than a process of self-development and self-education, which involves overcoming in human behavior «mass» trends, because the real education and education could not have their object exclusively in mass area. They see the tasks of education and upbringing as taking a unique personality away from the mass, «collectivist society» as a source of «false existence». But the closure of the process of education/upbringing on a separate subject, its isolation from social ties and relations dramatically limits the real possibility of forming an active personality, although the adherents of this approach proclaim this one of the main goals of education. In addition, the self-isolation of the individual increases its alienation in the world, making it increasingly vulnerable to the anti-human tendencies of global society.

The article deals with the new philosophical and ideological foundations of the philosophy of education. Education reform in Kazakhstan today is characterized by many innovations, some of which are focused on Western educational systems and projects, the introduction of innovative technologies in the learning process, etc. As for the formation of worldview, this issue has not yet been fully discussed, it is only in the early stages of discussion. Education reform programs and practices still address civic responsibility and flexibility in developing knowledge, developing professional skills, and adapting quickly to transition. Of course, such tasks are proven, but modern education lacks a worldview, including the Kazakh education system. Any education reform is, first of all, a reform of the content of education. In today's globalized world, the Republic of Kazakhstan demands that young people strive for knowledge and skills, work hard and grow. In this regard, it is worth noting the words of the President: “If you are the son of your country, if you are passionate about your country, if you have civic honor, work hard to strengthen and prosper the Kazakh state. Remember that you are the owner of the land and the country. " The main purpose of spiritual and moral education is to bring up a generation that has awakened a sense of national consciousness, high spirit, deep culture, wisdom, conscience and other good qualities.
