The aim is to enable graduate students to understand the concepts of morality, ethics, and values ??from philosophical, religious, and sociological perspectives. It seeks to equip students with the ability to synthesize information on building trust within the family, fostering a tolerant environment in schools, and addressing moral problems in a digitalized world. Simultaneously, the goal is to thematically code classical texts and modern narratives (fairy tales, historical documents, etc.) in large datasets using qualitative analysis software (NVivo, etc.) and to produce entirely new course/material designs.

This course examines moral and values ??education across a broad spectrum, from family to school, in light of the fundamental sources of Western philosophy and Islamic moral thought. The religious, social, and humanist foundations of morality are explored alongside the understandings of virtue held by classical thinkers such as Ibn Miskawayh, Ghazali, and Tusi, as well as psychoanalytic and cognitive development theories. In addition to theoretical foundations, the Virtue-Value-Action (VVA) framework, early Republican-era textbooks (e.g., *Malumat-ı Ahlakıye ve Medeniye*), and pedagogical materials such as children's literature and fairy tales are analyzed using qualitative data analysis tools.
