THE ROLE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OBJECTS IN DEVELOPING MORAL AND ETHICAL EDUCATION OF INDIVIDUALS
Abstract
The current article examines the significant role of cultural heritage objects in shaping the moral and ethical development of individuals. It emphasizes both tangible and intangible heritage, including historical monuments, museums, traditional rituals, and folklore, as valuable pedagogical resources. The study discusses theoretical frameworks linking cultural heritage with moral education, such as cultural identity theory, value internalization, and experiential learning. Furthermore, the paper analyzes practical methods for integrating heritage into formal and non-formal educational contexts, highlighting interactive and immersive approaches. Results indicate that systematic engagement with cultural heritage strengthens ethical reasoning, social responsibility, patriotism, and respect for diversity among students. The study also emphasizes the cultural specificity of heritage and its potential to transmit universal humanistic values. Ultimately, this research provides a conceptual basis for designing educational programs that utilize cultural heritage to foster ethically and spiritually mature individuals.
