The purpose of this study was to derive the method of moral education from Socratic dialogue. For this purpose, the study described a typical method of Socratic dialogue. It consists of following five steps. First, a teacher makes students state their own beliefs on the subject discussed. Second, he exposes the problem of their statements through a series of questions. Third, he makes students accept the position different from the previous one. Fourth, he makes students realize that the two positions are incompatible. Finally, he makes them leave the previous position. In the next, the study investigated several dialogical methods that can be used with regard to moral education in classroom situation. And then, the study examined the procedures of dialogical teaching that teachers can use easily in the classroom.
