Abstract

The author seeks an answer in theories of upbringing to the question: To what extent is there a valid and necessary study of the formation of moral convictions in children and adolescents throughout the course of childhood education? According to the researcher, the transformation of the sociopolitical system in 1989 fostered the omission of such a key phenomenon for the quality of upbringing as moral convictions. It is difficult to distinguish moral beliefs from worldviews and moral opinions. The author’s method of research is to analyze the content of dissertations in the social sciences whose authors addressed the problem of moral upbringing. At the same time, he justifies the need for educators to return to these issues so that those who assist with raising children in a world of growing moral crises will find the courage to educate them.
