道德教育在教育中占有极其重要的地位。新兴学科——道德认知神经科学研究发现了大脑中与道德相关的神经网络，对理性在道德功能中的地位进行了重新审视，特别强调情绪和直觉在道德功能中的重要作用，提出了独特的道德发展观和整合的道德教育体系。该学科认为道德为大脑的功能之一，良好的道德需要健全的大脑、理性的思辨、健康的情感反应和敏锐的直觉判断，这些发现对如何进行有效的道德教育有着重要的启示和实践价值。

One of the important goals of education is to cultivate students＇ morality. Although many educators tried to explore ways to improve the efficiency of moral education, the effects were not satisfactory. Moral cognitive neuroscience, as a new rising discipline, investigates the neural networks of moral function and has found out that moral emotion and moral intuition play more important roles than traditional view of morality. And a new view of moral development based on neuroscience is also depicted. Recently, some educators have been trying to propose new methods of moral education based on these neuroscience findings. This new interdisciplinary field may provide theoretical implications and empirical evidence for moral education.
