Critique of Lickonaʹs model for moral Education Based on Allameh Tabatabaeeʹs Views

One of important approaches in moral education is character education stressing on development of particular core values. Presently, various factors including declining role of family in education, vulnerability of children and adolescents, individualism and relativism along with important role of ethical values in tackling social problems resulted in paying more attention to character education. Thomas Lickona has developed a comprehensive model for character education to be implemented at two levels: in-classroom and off-classroom. He suggested twelve strategies for the two levels. In this paper, firstly the basis of the model including ontological, anthropological, epistemological, and ethical foundations were examined and its strategies, goals, principles and methods were discussed. Then, the viewpoints of Allamah Tabatabaei, the contemporary scholar, on character education were briefly reviewed as a basis for critical analysis of the Lickona model.
