        The purpose of this research is to formulate a preventive model of the utilitarian moral education with emphasis on undesirable conducts in Mill’s viewpoint. The method used is the “descriptive-analytical” method. Undesirable conducts include wrong conducts (violating rights and comfort of others), and unpleasant conducts, the existence of which can be explained with fails in duties. The goal of moral education is happiness, and moral education includes dimensions of prevention and punishment. Punishments appear in the following forms: reprobation for violating the rights and disturbing the comfort, and losing the positive attention of others because of the behaviors lacking personal dignity. By prevention, we mean primary prevention that is governed by the principles of justice and contemplation. The governance of justice is related to the conducts violating the rights, but governance of the principle of contemplation is in preventing wrong conducts, and in meanings of “care of soul” and care of reasons. In unpleasant conducts, the ruling principle is the contemplation with aforementioned meanings. These findings support Mill’s belief that "the main foundations of moral life in the new age are justice and contemplation." Prevention strategies referring to the two types of undesirable conducts are strengthening conscience and giving insights. The linkage of strategies to principles is presented in the preventive model. According to the findings on prevention, considering reasonable punishment for wrong conducts and paying attention to justice and contemplation in explaining undesirable conducts is a positive aspect of Mill's perspectiv. However, his views on unpleasant conducts have been criticized, because interventions and punishments considered for these conducts lack the necessary performance for guaranteeing the prevention of self-harm and reforming the holders of unpleasant conducts. Also his opinion about people's owing to one another lacks the strong executive support for action in relation to the holders of these conducts. Removing these weaknesses requires a revision of Mill's harm principle and correcting and reconsructing some of his beliefs. Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this research is to explore the methodological critique of Narvaez's integrated approach to moral education. For this purpose, First, based on a certain pattern of methodological requirements, the integration of strategies was considered. Then based on this pattern, goal, the process of choosing the approaches to the origin, the level and type of integration, structure and meanings of the terms used in the Narvaez approach and the approaches of the source; and the existence Or the lack of meta-language in the Narvaez approach has been evaluated and criticized. The results indicate that, since the structure of the source approaches is intrinsically contradictory, and Narvaez did not attempt to discover or fabricate a meta-language or a common language, only the terms of the two approaches are placed horizontally or horizontally. it seems that, unlike his pleadings, In practice, the combination has not been made. In addition, the study of the content and meanings of the terms used in Narvaez's perspective and the approaches to the source show that these terms actually provided the same approach of character education or, At least, presented another version of the approach of character education. Thus, in terms of structure, the combination provided by Narvaez is challenged with serious challenge and is eclecticism. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to develop a preventive model of deontological moral education with an emphasis on undesirable behaviors in Kant's view. The methods used are descriptive-analytical and inferential methods based on Frankena's reconstructed model. According to the results, regarding the two categories of virtue tasks in Kant's view, namely, one's perfect duties towards himself/herself and imperfect duties (one's imperfect duties towards oneself and duties of virtue towards others), three types of undesirable behavior were identified in this view: behaviors violating one's perfect duties towards oneself, behaviors violating one's imperfect duties towards others, and abandonment of virtue that would lead to vice. Prevention as a dimension of moral education in the expanse of undesirable behaviors in Kant's system of moral education also has its principles and particular strategies. In such a manner that the two principles of respect for one's dignity and respect for the dignity of others, which are derived from the principles of rationality and the end of being human in one's self, constitute the principles governing strategies to prevent the initial emergence of undesirable behaviors. These strategies, which are educational strategies, for all three types of undesirable behavior, consisting of the two main strategies of forming a good character and caring for and reinforcing the character, which plays an important role in achieving Kant's goal of moral education, which is to have maximum moral virtue. Also, the connection of these strategies with the fundamentals and principles in the preventive model are specified. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to critique the goals of the domain of religious and moral education approved by the Supreme Council of Education. The criticism has been launched in the dimensions of the foundations and the methods for reaching the goals. The findings of this study show that the philosophical foundations of these goals are the theory of religious good and evil or the theory of divine command which is in conflict with the pre-religious ethics, the signs and evidence of which exist in the Islamic religious sources, and the relevant theoretical views are contained in the theoretical foundations of the document of The Fundamental Change. Also, these goals lead to a moral education emcompassed in the religious education while this type of moral education will not be effective in today's conditions. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this article is to investigate and criticize the anthropological foundations and principles of personalistic moral education. To this end, methods of practical analogy and internal criticism have been used; using the first method, the anthropological principles of personalistic moral education and relying on the second method, the serious challenges of the anthropological foundations of personalism and principles of moral education based on it have been discovered. The findings suggest that based on the anthropological foundations of personalism, principles of moral education such as doing moral activity, encouraging decision making, community formation and personhood education can be achieved. In addition, serious challenges of this approach to moral education are internal inconsistency in the concept of freedom, idealism and incompatibility with contemporary world conditions in the concept of community and extreme privatization and not paying attention to the moral pattern.
