The purpose of this thesis is to change the way of moral class from boring class leaded by teachers to activating class leaded by students themselves through dialog. This means activation of moral class.
To do this I taught students to speak logically, listen carefully, have good manner and suitable tones when they speak and listen. I tried to give the students more chances of arguments for and against in extracurricular classes twice a month. And I opened a bulletin of debate on the home page for classroom and practiced family cyber discussion once a week. Also I rearranged the present 5th grade text to be related with moral problems in students' lives and made dialogical teaching plan suitable for children's intelligence level according to normal debating process.
Followings are the effects after appling the dialogical learning to the moral class.
First, the students were absorbed in their discussion. And it was not only a good way to activate and make moral class fun but also helpful for the developing of moral faculty which is the goal of moral education.
Second, through the dialogical learning the students have got high satisfaction and liked the moral lesson. They took the moral lesson cheerfully and liked it as much as physical training lesson.
Third, the dialogical learning made students take part in the self-leaded class. Without teacher's intervention they solved the problems by themselves. This made the moral lesson possible to be student leaded not teacher leaded. The students leaded the class and learned from it by themselves.
Fourth, through the dialogical learning students could understand and care others. And it was helpful the operation of the class. Also, the students become to act more morally than before.
