LITERATURE ON THE RESEARCH TOPIC
1.1. Research on morality, morality education, and morality education for children
in family and farmers’ families
In the former Soviet Union, there was much attention to morality and morality
education for children in family among researchers with the outstanding works including


“Communist morality principle” by A. Siskin, “Ethics” (2 volumes) by Bandzeladze, etc.
Starting from the nature of morality under Maxism-Leninism, the researchers have
analyzed the specific aspects of morality education. Morality means the practices and
customs demonstrating certain relationships among people in their daily communication.
It has become the rule of behavior that adjusts the behaviors of each individual in the
society.
In Vietnam, there are a number of studies on morality, morality education, and
morality education for children in family. Examples include the book “Childhood” by
Trang Thanh, “The system of ethical categories and morality education for university

students” byTran Hau Kiem, “Morality and methods of morality education” by Nguyen
Huu Hop (chief author), etc. The researchers thoroughly analyzed the system of basic
categories of morality such as common sense, conscience, the good and the bad, etc., and
education methods.
1.2. Research on morality and morality education for children in family and
farmers’ families
The books “Family and family education” chief authored by Le Thi,
“Transformation of family functions and children education at present” by Hoang Ba
Thinh, etc. describe a comprehensive overview of the role of family and family members
in children education, the modern contents and methods of education as well as the effects
of other education environments on family education
The articles “The socialism-oriented market economy in Vietnam at present and
fluctuations in morality” by Nguyen Trong Chuan published on Magazine of Philosophy
No. 9 (December, 2001), “Morality education and traditional family culture and lifestyle
in the market economy of Vietnam at present” by Le Ngoc Anh on Magazine of
Philosophy No. 1 (Januaray, 2002), etc. mention the changes of the social morality in the
market economy. Family is the first school to educate the personality and a cultural and
moral life style for people.
The philosophy thesis by Do Tuyet Bao “Morality education for lower secondary
students in Hochiminh City in the present transformation”, the sociology thesis “The role
of family in morality education for lower secondary students in Hanoi at present” by
Nguyen Thi To Quyen, etc. discuss the concept of morality consisting of 4 basic contents
which are moral value education, moral standard education, moral behaviour education,
and moral ideal education. The authors also analyzed factors affecting morality education
for lower secondary students in the research area.
The researcher Nguyen Thi Tho, in her PhD thesis “Family morality in the market
economy in Vietnam today”, emphasizes morality education, education of family rules and
traditions which is the most important in family education as morality is the core of
personality, etc. Family morality education creates the background personality to walk
into life, live in the world and be human.

1.3. Research on solutions to morality education for children in family and farmers’
families
A. C. Ma-ca-ren-co, in his book “Talking on family education”, suggested that
parents have love, responsibility and knowledge; family education must be done right
from the beginning when children are still young. The book “Behaviors in family” by Le
Minh (chief author) discusses the concept of building personality for children right from
the moment when they are born until later, which is a science and an art. At the same
time, in order to educate the children effectively, it’s important for the members to
cooperate in their childcare.
1.4. Research on morality education for children of farmers’ families in Ninh Binh

rural areas in Ninh Binh province; Instruction by Ninh Binh People’s Committee No.

difficulties, etc.
In brief, most research has been approaching the topic in the broad sense while
discussion on morality education for children of farmers’ families, especially research on
ethics to be applied in practice in such a province like Ninh Binh is still limited in theory
and practice.

families in Ninh Binh at present

a. In terms of content
Several education subjects have difficulties in choosing the contents for
morality education. Some parents are so busy with their work that they do not pay
attention to their children’s psychophysiological features, gender education to their
children, so there is much wrong thinking in gender-related awareness and opinions.

This leads to the fact that children at their adolescence still face a lack of awareness of
the above issues.

education in family. There are some people who do have enough time to teach their
children while some people arrange time reasonably but they do not know where to
start or how to educate their children effectively.

Thirdly, the parents are bad examples. In some families, there are both mother and
father but they are not good which affect the objects of education.

the self-consciousness of children in morality fostering, cultivation is a matter of
urgency now requiring parents to concentrate more.
Fifthly, the negative effects of the education environment. The negative changes in
the morality life of the families and society have made the children confused in
psychological life, lose their belief and directions in choosing their values.
Sixthly, the attention and responsibility of socio-political organizations is still
limited. There is a lack of the organizations and communities that protect, take car and
educate the children in the rural areas in Ninh Binh; the facilities is not good, the
cooperation among the organizations, families and schools is not paralled; there are
some events for children but they are not close to the children's life in Ninh Binh rural
areas.
