Abstract: The goal of moral education decides why we start conducting it at all and where it will lead the educated young.It influences or even determines the entire process of education.The stereotypical mechanism in contemporary China's moral education has stifled the inner vitality of the educated young.Besides,while educators are driven to short-term action by various practical considerations,the educated themselves are no less prone to adapt readily to the influence of the stereotypical mechanism.Combined together,these two forces have caused moral education to err from its intended destination.To solve this problem,we must find out about the dual properties of the goal of moral education and the connection between them.Only in this way can we find a wholesome definition for moral education,interpret the goal of the New Perio's moral education correctly and,through constructing a healthy public life based on the principles of justice and fairness,create fertile soil for the blossoming of moral education.

Key words: the goal of moral education , the stereotypical mechanism , reexamination , orientation

摘要： 思想品德教育目的是其工作的出发点和最终归宿，影响并决定着教育的全过程。当代中国思想品德教育中“模塑化”的教育机制使受教育者内在活力受到抑制，加之教育者受现实功利机制驱动、受教育者行为动机与“模塑化”机制相顺应等因素的影响，使教育实践在很大程度上偏离了既定目标。破解这一难题，首先需要厘清思想品德教育目的二重性特征及关系，才能从人本出发确立思想品德教育的基准点，正确解读新时期思想品德教育的目的，并通过建构公平正义的公共生活，为品德教育提供营养丰富的土壤。
