The mimetic approach to compiling life-oriented moral textbooks comprises three strategies: constructing children’s life events as building blocks for textbook compilation, designing an intricate textual device exposing the wholeness of children’s life actions, and designing inward learning activities leading to children’s inner worlds.  \nOriginality/Value: From the perspective of Aristotle’s Poetics, the approach to compilation in Morality and Law can be defined as mimetic. And the compilation activity in the life-oriented moral education textbook also can be described as a process of mimesis. So this article presents a new approach to compile moral education textbooks and an innovative way to understand the nature of one compiling activity.  \nCorresponding author:  \nYan Tang, Institute of Moral Education, Nanjing Normal University, 122 Ninghai Road, Gulou District, Nanjing 210097, Jiangsu, China.  \nEmail: [tangy546@126.com](tangy546@126.com)  \nCreative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative  \nCommons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License ([https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)) which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access pages ([https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage](https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/open-access-at-sage)).  \nKeywords  \nAristotle’s Poetics, life orientation, mimesis, moral education textbooks, textbook compilation Date received: 21 May 2019; revised: 30 April 2020; accepted: 30 November 2020  \nIntroduction: Moral education textbooks and their compilation in China  \nDirect moral instruction is common in countries like China and Japan, which have formal moral education curricula (Bamkin, 2018) . The moral education curricula in China has been seen as an important course, which delivers moral education directly at school(Lu&Gao,2004) . Several countries and regions—such as Hong Kong SAR and the United Arab Emirates—have promoted the establishment of formal moral education curricula in an attempt to combat growing social and moral problems (Keung & Ho, 2004; Pring, 2019) . These curricula reflect significant differences as a result of the varying moral learning materials or textbooks used in moral instruction. Initiated in 2001, the reform of the Chinese moral education curriculum transformed its goals, contents, and values system from being political or ideology-oriented to humanistic or life-oriented (Lee & Ho, 2005; Lu, 2003, 2005, 2014; Zhao & Sun, 2017)  \nAccording to Lu (2005), China’s life-oriented moral education curriculum makes three innovations. First, it transforms the notion of morality from one based on knowledge to one based on life. Second, it redefines moral education as more than moral knowledge in","cbCaibkiWvDDb5OD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibkiWvDDb5OD","pdf",2022209,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction: Moral education textbooks and their compilation in China\n## Reform toward life-oriented moral education\n## National curriculum standards and textbook compilation\n## Morality and Law in primary schools","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study on Morality and Law textbooks?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates a novel method for compiling life-oriented moral education textbooks for Chinese elementary schools, specifically focusing on Morality and Law.\"},{\"question\":\"What theoretical perspective guides the textbook-compilation approach?\",\"answer\":\"The approach is analyzed through Aristotle’s Poetics as the theoretical perspective.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the three strategies involved in the mimetic approach to compilation?\",\"answer\":\"They include building the textbook from children’s real life events, designing textual devices that reveal the wholeness of children’s actions, and creating inward learning activities that lead children toward inner worlds.\"}]","Compiling Life-Oriented Moral Education Textbooks for Elementary Schools in China - The Mimetic Approach in Morality and Law | PDF",1792092446,53]
