Character Education, Moral Education, Education of the Will, Values Education, Education TheoryAbstract
This article is the result of a documentary research about the education of the will. The paper addresses issues related to the shaping of the will in current society, its theoretical background and the educational trends in this field. Among the factors that seem to affect the decline of the education of the will are: a widespread educationalpermissiveness; the enhancement of an emotional culture, which privileges feelings over reason and will, as well as a tendency to take the easy way out and the mediocrity resulting from a “weak will”. Regarding education of the will, it is important to consider its double cognitive and motivational dimension. Valuable things
motivate human behavior. Educators must consider this when designing pedagogical strategies with that purpose. Great ideals call for great answers. Finally, the paper presents three current educational trends that combine several initiatives regarding the shaping of will: education of the will, character education and moral education
