Abstract

The paper focuses on one project of moral education that is taking place in Slovakia in a form of a school subject. Ethics Education has been implemented in Slovakia since 1993/1994 as a school subject in the 2nd grade of primary schools and since 2004/2005 in the 1st grade of primary schools. The subject Ethics Education is based on education toward prosociality in the intentions of a Spanish prosocial psychologist Robert Roche Olivar. The aim of the paper is to examine a philosophical connection between moral education and education towards prosociality.

Keywords:

prosocial moral reasoning, prosocial behaviour, Ethics education, prosocial education
