Inculcating Ethical and Moral Values amongst the E-Learners: Proposing a Model for E-Learning Platforms

Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">Under the influence of neo-liberalism and marketization, education is increasingly becoming more content-focused than character one. Ignoring the fact that money, science, and technology may take a person to the moon, these are ethical and moral values that take him/her to the even loftier heights of humanity. Recent COVID-19-driven focus on information and communication technology (ICT) and digital learning have further added to these woes by focusing more on human-machine interaction than human-human ones. Traditional models for inculcating these values through education which heavily rely on the physical presence of teachers do not seem to work in these circumstances. This demands a model for inculcating these values in learning management systems/ e-learning platforms. This study contributes in this regard by first identifying key players and factors, and then proposing a model for it. Using the Delphi model, it gathers opinions from 59 experts in two rounds. Academic institutions, society and online community members, teachers, and e-contents were identified as key factors and players. It suggests a holistic approach-based model through which all of them play their role and collaborate through an e-learning platform. That platform can be used to disseminate information, create awareness, monitor, and report the e-learners. It uses pull and push strategies to help the e-learners to develop those values.</p>

“…Apart from that, learning media can also make it easier for teachers to convey learning information to students. So, it is necessary to implement interesting and interactive knowledge media for students (Afriansyah & Arwadi, 2021;Muhammad et al, 2023;Puhka et al, 2023). A teacher's implementation of media use must be balanced with planning, implementation, and strict supervision so that the resulting quality does not deviate from the teacher's aims and objectives in learning (Krida, 2021;Wani et al, 2023).…”
