The distinction between moral ideas and ideas about morality is central to the discussion of moral education. Dewey argues that moral ideas actively enhance conduct, while ideas about morality may remain inert and ineffective. Educators must ensure that children acquire ideas in a way that transforms them into motivating forces for behavior. This approach emphasizes that the ultimate goal of education is character formation, even as intellectual pursuits take precedence in the classroom. The methods of learning should aim to enrich behavior, making it more enlightened and vigorous.
