A Study of the Psychological Principles of Character Formation as Contained in the Ratio Studiorum of the Society of Jesus
Abstract
For many years there has been an increased tendency on the part of educators to give to character formation a significant place in the school program. This has, in part, resulted from the increasing conviction that the true objective of the school is not to be confined to the mere intellectual development of the child but to the training of all of his capacities. Consequently, training him to live a life in accord with worthy moral principles is quite as important as training him for success in the intellectual pursuits of life. However, despite almost universal agreement on the desirability of a character formation program in the school, there has been little fundamental agreement on the psychological principles which are to constitute such a program.
