Abstract

Moral education has different aspects such as knowledge upgrading, motivational-emotional sublimation, reinforcement of will and formation of moral virtues. Among these, the strengthening of the basics of knowledge has a fundamental position and the reformation of other parameters, too, without recognition of the learner would not be possible. To make learners knowledgeable in an effective manner, one can use the method of Quran in teaching contents; this method is called explanation. This study is an applied research with inside-the-religion approach in a method of analysis of Quranic verses in order to clarify aspects and parameters of the method of explanation- explainer, method of explanation, and addressee. Then, the application of this method in moral education is described. Besides, on the basis of the findings, the present situation of moral education programs is pathologically investigated. It was found that all the parameters (contents of the textbooks, teaching methodology, assessment methods`, and instructors’ skills) are far from explanation. At the end, some applied suggestions are made for the change and reformations of educational methods replacement of such old forms with Quranic methods for both formal and informal systems of moral education.
