Abstract
Moral education teaches civilization, moral values and norms of society to students. Moral education supports students to socialize from the very beginning of their life. The main aim of this study was to identify the teaching practices of moral education in the public and private schools of Nepal. The study was conducted in the three geographical locations: Himalayan, Mid-hill and Terai regions of Nepal. The study followed cross-sectional design. There were altogether 600 respondents (540 students and 60 teachers). Equal numbers of respondents were selected from both public and private schools). Selection was done using cluster random sampling technique. Majority of the respondents of both type of schools reported that the teachers used mix method (combination of lecture and practical methods) of teaching in moral education classes. Region wise analysis of responses showed that teachers of Himalayan region used mix method more than the teachers of other two regions. Students also reported that teachers used to share moral story in the classes as an approach of teaching. Beside that there are practices of providing knowledge of Yoga and meditation by outside agencies, particularly in public schools. Moreover, there were the practices of giving moral values related instructions to students by teachers during leisure time. From these findings, it can be concluded that there is a changing trend in teaching practices of moral values. In this context, if we want to install stable moral behavior in students, all the stakeholders of education have to show moral behavior in every aspects of their life.
