The Position of Implicit and Indirect Learning in Ethical Education

The rationalist approach has been dominated on the education environment of values for many years. Unilateral and excessive focus on this approach has revealed ignorance of a vast part of human implicit learning and his intuitive ethical judgments which have been the source of many ethical behaviors. The study intends to answer the question that why only direct and deductive educations about values cannot guarantee ethical realization in the educators’ behavior. It seems that direct and theological education of values is not the only source of human ethical learning, but a great deal of human learnings are happened implicitly and in the form of real experiences. To analyze this hypothesis, new viewpoints about implicit, practical and intuitive understanding learning types have been investigated and proved in that human ethical learnings are occurred in two direct and implicit ways while despite of cooperation of these two methods, the majority of our judgments and ethical actions are happened intuitively. At the end, some suggestions on ethical education programs have been proposed to have more efficiency.
