The Use of Stories as Moral Education For Young Children
Husni RAHIMa；Maila Dinia Husni RAHIMb
ABSTRACT
There are a number of ways that one might morally educate a
child. One can demonstrate
various virtues and encourage the child to copy his or her own
behavior. One can issue a series of
imperatives and punish if failure to abide by them. Moreover,
one might tell the child stories with
moral lessons in order to elicit favorable behavior and to
discourage unfavorable behavior. In this
research, we study how kindergarten teachers can better serve
more appropriate aims of moral
education by using stories.
The main findings of this study are as follows: first, moral
education is considered
complementary material in kindergarten in Indonesia. There are
few teachers who use stories as
moral education in kindergaten. Second, teachers play an
important role in helping children
understand the story and capture the message of the story.
Teachers are therefore challenged to
explore the content of stories and help children connect the
story with their daily lives. Third, the
ways in which teachers see morality affects the way they convey
moral values in a story.

The Use of Children’s Literature as Moral Education For Young
Children
Maila Dinia Husni Rahiem
Presented in The Asia-Pacific Network for Moral Education
(APNME) Seventh Annual Conference
Chung Cheng University, Chiayi, Taiwan, 15-17
June 2012
Early childhood is a crucial time of physical, mental,
emotional, and social development
for a child. From birth until the age of six, children
experience the fastest growth. Early childhood
education is, therefore of course vital. Early childhood
education will promote the growth of a
child and fulfill its needs. It should concentrate not only on
one aspect of development because
people tend to focus exclusively on cognitive development, but
schools should also pay attention
to other aspects of the development of a child. Early infancy is
the foundation for further
development. Early childhood education is crucial in influencing
the development of a child as
they move to the next stage of their adolescence and future
life. It is a foundation. However,
schools more often than not ignore the significance of building
character in their students.
At kindergarten level, narratives are starting to become an
essential method of moral
education. Stories can be used to further the moral development
of children. Narratives foster
moral reasoning, intelligence, culture, awareness, and
character. Vandenplas (1990) made
suggestions on how to hold moral discussions related to books
and films about children's stories
to encourage moral development for children. Gooderham (1997)
provided a guide for the moral
education of children in how to communicate moral issues in
children's fiction.
-
McGinn (1997) noted that "Fictional work can make us see and
feel good and evil in a way
that no philosophical essay can do" (p. 176). Narrative stories
help children to describe who they
were, are, and hope to be. Stories can open the eyes of a child
so that they can see and understand
the world around them more clearly. Stories express experience.
Stories help kids get an insight
into the meaning of those experiences. Stories are depictions of
life and mind by language
(Anderson & Groft, 1972).
Stories are memorable; either a monumental event or some
seemingly minute or
inconsequential detail may trigger their recall (Weatherford,
2000). Stories offer opportunities to
link our prior knowledge, to connect personal experience with
the characters ' experience in the
story. Applebee (1978) sees stories as providing additional
perspectives for children, further
information about their environment. Lieberman, as quoted by
Joosen (2005), said that children
learn proper behavior, value systems and know the consequences
of individual acts or
circumstances by reading stories. Ricceur, as Collins (2005)
quoted, saw stories and myths as
anything we say or hear, and also as something we do or
encounter. Many authors promote the use
of myths to teach and practice moral education.
Nowadays, many kindergartens use storytelling activities as a
powerful way to develop a
child's character concerning the implementation of the 2013
curriculum and the government
emphasizing the importance of seeking better and more suitable
forms of moral education.
Storytelling is considered to be one of the most potent means of
communication, and to
communicate messages containing moral values that are useful for
the creation of a positive
character in children. Counseling can be given in a fun way
through stories and is easily understood
by children.
-
Now the government itself promotes the practices of storytelling
as a form of moral
education. Storytelling instruction for teachers in the
kindergarten is carried out in different
Indonesian cities. Most of the training's material focuses on
how to better perform storytelling or
story reading (more about the teachers ' performance skills).
The government and educational
practitioners have a strong belief in the use of narratives for
young children's moral education
based on research that supports that belief. They introduce and
socialize narrative use across
Indonesia and it's becoming a phenomenon. Nevertheless, the
researcher sees a void in that notion.
If narratives are important for young children's moral
education, how do teachers understand and
recognize that? It is also interesting to see how teachers
interpret morality and moral education as
the people in charge of directing this method of learning.
Many great ideas and concepts, including morality, were
introduced and explained using
narratives. We will find stories and the practice of
storytelling in almost every culture in the world.
Most cultures in Indonesia tend to be led by narrative
practices. Using stories, people share values
and significant events in their lives. By stories, people make
sense of their lives; funny, happy, sad
or frightening ones. People are sharing their stories through
social media and others are reading
and commenting on the story. We sometimes don't know each other,
but we get used to the stories
they tell.
A story is also one of the forms that people used to manipulate
others. Candidates make
use of tales to persuade others during election campaigns. We
share their success stories, how
someone who was born into a poor household but is now a
prosperous merchant; this person
wanted to be a leader, and people needed to vote for him.
Hochstetler (2006) agreed narratives
have an essential part to play in our lives. From a story about
history, values, and beliefs, ideas,
good and evil we can learn many things. Stories can be used to
convince people to reinforce
-
societal moral standards. The story gives examples of life,
including sincerity, dignity, and much
more.
Narratives not only explain a general theory of morality but
also demonstrate the nature of
morality. Narratives not only depict solutions, they also help
to re-create moral perplexities. Stories
have ethical values consisting of exemplarity and moral
imperatives and allowing a better
understanding of moral behavior as well (Putnam, 1978).
Narratives are a learning medium, and
the narratives will enable us to understand love and goodness.
The narratives look at the gap
between morality and our lives. (Insegnamenti, 1978)
Young children love stories. Stories teach them a great many
life concepts. Several
researchers have been exploring how children learn morality from
the narratives. Kilpatrick,
Wolfe, & Wolfe (1994) concluded that a story's characters
help kids understand issues from
different perspectives; inspire kids to share, and build a sense
of empathy. Narratives are a great
way to teach children to think objectively, with insight, but
also with creativity. From the novels,
children learn how people solve their problems, make friends, or
support others.
