المستخلص

انبثقت أهمية الدراسة الحالية من أهمية القيم الأخلاقية في بناء شخصية الفرد والتناغم المجتمعي، إضافة إلى سبل أهمية غرس القيم الأخلاقية في مرحلة مبكرة من الحياة، ويتمثل الهدف الرئيس من البحث الحالي في معرفة آراء المعلمين وأولياء الأمور حول أفضل الطرق التعليمية لتعليم القيم الأخلاقية للأطفال، علاوة على ذلك، تستكشف الدراسة التحديات التي يواجهها الآباء والمعلمين عند تعليم الأطفال القيم الأخلاقية، ولقد اعتمدت الدراسة على المدخل الكمي لجمع البيانات من خلال استبيان أجاب عليه 100 ولي أمر لأطفال تتراوح أعمارهم بين 3 إلى 6 سنوات و101 معلمة في المملكة العربية السعودية، ولقد أظهرت نتائج البحث أن الحوار يعتبر أفضل طريقة تربوية لتعليم القيم الأخلاقية للأطفال، من ناحية أخرى، كانت الطريقة الأقل شيوعًا لتعليم القيم الأخلاقية للأطفال هي سرد القصة، كما أظهرت أراء  أولياء الأمور أن تأثير التكنولوجيا والإعلام هو التحدي الأكبر الذي يواجههم عند تدريس القيم الأخلاقية للأطفال، يلي ذلك تأثير المناهج الجماعية ورياض الأطفال، وأشارت الدراسة إلى وجود اختلافات ذات دلالة إحصائية في استجابات المعلمين وأولياء الأمور من وجهة نظرهم بشأن المقاييس الفرعية للدراسة.
