dc.description.abstractThe main purpose of this study is to develop a clear understanding regarding issues surrounding character education in the USA and Turkey. The main question of this study is how similar or dissimilar the two cases are. The similarities and differences are examined within the following contexts: (I) the place and importance of character education in schools in USA and Turkey; (2) the context of character education and its implementations in both countries; (3) the current issues and competing positions in the US and Turkish character education systems and finally (4) how adaptable are these two systems. Character education teaches qualities and values that people universally recognize; these attributes assist people in living and working together as families, friends and neighbors, which in turn leads to successful community life. In the post logical positivism era, in the globalized world of today, rather than taking only one religion or culture as the reference point, redefined character education puts its emphasis on universal moral content to constitute a solution for the worsening societal moral problems. In this study, components of character education at US Kindergarten thru 12th grade schools will be reviewed within the context of legal grounds, history, and teaching methods. In essence, good character education is compatible with universal values, and any educational system can adapt a working system of character education, even the US.en_US
