Buddhist Integration of Learning Management to Develop the Desirable Attributes of Integrity of Primary School Students

Abstract

The academic article, “Buddhist Integration of Learning Management to Develop Desired Characteristics of Integrity in Primary School Students,” investigates how Buddhist principles, particularly the concept known as “Dawn of Education,” can be applied to instill integrity in young learners. This concept encompasses seven key elements: kindness, moral discipline, joy in learning, self-discipline, right views, effortlessness in action, and careful consideration. These principles serve as a framework for designing learning activities that seamlessly connect knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, aiming to foster systems of integrity among primary school students.
The analysis reveals several findings: practicing kindness helps establish positive role models within the school environment; cultivating moral discipline promotes responsibility and structure; joy in learning boosts motivation and reinforces positive behaviors; self-discipline nurtures dedication to personal growth; right views support sound reasoning and insightful decisions; effortlessness in action enhances mindful behaviors; and careful consideration develops reflective thinking to discern the truth. These aspects can be effectively integrated into classroom practices through strategies such as self-reflection, group discussions, discipline-building exercises, critical-thinking tasks, and structured involvement in creative, participatory activities.
