Collaborative Development of Moral Education and Legal Education for College Students
The moral education of college students has received increasing attention from all sectors of society and has been listed as a strategic task of the country. However, in the specific process of practice, the cultivation of legal spirit is often neglected in moral education. This article aims to examine moral education and legal education for college students from the perspective of disciplines and explore the possibility of their collaborative development. Through literature review and theoretical analysis, this article finds that, from the perspectives of educational purpose, target, method, and scope of action, moral education and legal education have their respective advantages and limitations, but also exhibit strong complementarity. The two cannot replace each other, but they cannot do without each other’s assistance. Therefore, based on the operational rules of the two, distinguishing different situations, scientifically applying, and adjusting in a timely manner, so that they can complement and collaborate functionally, is of great practical significance for improving the effectiveness of moral education and comprehensively enhancing the quality of college students.
