The present study identifies some particular concepts in moral education, namely self-respect
and respect for persons, clarifies the meaning of these concepts through the analysis of
philosophical literature and synthesizes the characteristics of persons that are said to possess the
virtues or values in question. The second major objective of the study was to pursue the argument
that just as it is the case with science concepts, for example, moral concepts must be clearly
understood and the components that bear upon them clearly identified before they are implemented
in the curriculum. The second objective was facilitated by examining educational literature on the
subjects of self-respect and respect for persons, comparing the philosophical and the educational
usages of the constructs and pointing out problems of curricular implementation which could be
attributed to lapses between them. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate
