There are three main objectives in this research. We first discuss the design of a caring-based moral education emerged into integrative activities learning area teaching.

Students can not only solve problems considering peer’s standpoint and extend the caring behaviors from school to their family and community, but also develop the awareness of other moralities. 3. The curriculum design of the caring-based moral education helps students understand the meaning of care carried out with practical caring action and share their caring action with others to obtain feedback to support their yearn for moral behavior. 4.
