Abstract
Background and Aim: Moral education is one of the most important educational issues. Achieving this great goal in various educational institutions requires a plan that is called a curriculum in the literature of educational sciences. The purpose of this study was to review the status of moral education in curriculum studies.
Methods: The research method was qualitative (descriptive) and the statistical population included all articles published in the Iranian Science Publications Database (SID, Magiran and Noormags). Sampling was done after the identification-screening process and 31 of the articles between the years 2006-2022 were selected by census method and were evaluated based on selected criteria (dimensions of goals, questions and outcomes).
Ethical Considerations: In compiling this research, ethical aspects including preserving the originality of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been respected.
Results: The findings showed that 92% of the articles are scientific-research, and 8% are Scientific- extension; The period of publication of articles was irregularly distributed and the highest number of articles was between the years 2010 and 2013 (with a frequency of 22); 37% of the researches were conducted by men, 13% by women and 54% of them were conducted jointly by men and women. Journals of non-medical universities had a greater share in publishing articles with 75.68 while 24.32 of articles were published in medical journals. Researches have been conducted with the aim of the place of ethics in various elements of the curriculum such as teaching, content and evaluation.
Conclusion: Considering the emergence of new ethical issues in the field of contemporary education, deeper scientific studies in the field of moral education in the curriculum studies, with the participation of male and female researchers, should be given more attention.
