This paper aims to offer a theoretical review of approaches to moral education and proposes a
dialogic and care-based alternative to the conventional moral education approaches. It starts
with a review and critique of the two most common approaches to moral education: traditional,
moral character education and the cognitive developmental approach. Then, it explores an
alternative strategy, Integrative Ethical Education (IEE), which prioritises dialogue and care in
education. It is suggested that the IEE approach has the potential to address the issues that
contemporary educators face.
