| Abstract | This paper examines the role of Christian religious knowledge (CRK) in the inculcation of moral values at the Junior Secondary School (JSS) level in Nigeria. The paper outlines some of the concepts that teach moral issues in the CRK Junior Secondary School Syllabus. These include: Important values in human relationship; sharing of hope, interest and fear; parable about our attitude to possessions; the unfaithfulness of Ananias and Saphira; unity and charity in the early church; Christian cooperation. The paper discovers that conventional teaching method is often adopted for the teaching of moral issues in the JSS classes. This method is characterized by recitation, indoctrination and memorization of facts. This retards the development and demonstration of moral traits and values in the learners. Hence, there is prevalence of moral decadence among the students. This paper posits that there is prospect in the Nigeria socio-political and economic system if appropriate approaches are adopted in the teaching of moral issues. It is recommended, among other things, that values clarification and informal approaches should be adopted in the teaching of moral issues in Nigerian schools. |
