Abstract

The objective of the present study is to compare the effect of three moral education models: the bag-of-virtues, value-clarification, and virtue-ethics models. Students from military colleges in Taiwan were used as research samples, and a questionnaire survey with counterbalanced designs was conducted. The research results indicate that the value-clarification model exhibited lower educational effectiveness than the other two models did, but the virtue-ethics model increased student moral behavior, and the bag-of-virtues model facilitated the construction of student moral values. Additionally, the students rated the bag-of-virtues model as the most educationally effective among the three models.
