碩士 === 華梵大學 === 哲學系碩士班 === 104 === Abstract There are purposes for students to study in school. Studying in school is a kind of work, not a game. We need discipline for work to get efficiency rather than pleasure. Achieving a specific goal, we obey various rules and restrain numerous desires. Discipline always starts from someone else’s demands and then into our own decisions. It transfers external restriction to self-behavior control. How discipline and personal freedom can coexist has been a tough educational problem. Since the implementation of education shall be based on theory, this issue is based on Kant’s education philosophy. First of all, elaborating the importance of discipline in school education, I think the core of education for students in this period should focus on cultivating the habit of regular life and obeying the rules in order to lay the foundation of retraining-bad-habit abilities. Discipline for growing and irrational students is the important character on their transit stage to help them keep the autonomy of action in the future. Punishment can cultivate law-abiding attitude for students, so students who break the rules should be punished. Teachers must comprehend clearly the way and the aim of punishment. The most important of all is teachers should have the correct attitude of punishment to avoid hurting students and themselves. Second, training and discipline will lose their affects day after day when students grow up. They will follow their ethic of the inner world of the heart as the highest guiding principles. What a manifestation of autonomy is to exhibit moral action based on code of ethic. Finally, try to conclude the way and the target of teenager’s morality by Kohlberg’s moral development stages and help teachers in the first line of education can have theoretical and specific approach of moral education. Achieve the objective of moral education: learn to observe discipline and get true freedom by autonomy.
