| Abstract: | This research deals with the different psychological processes people undergo when they experience firsthand authentic moral
conflicts. It also discusses the value of authentic moral conflicts in students’ moral development, and reasons for the ineffectiveness
of moral education in China. The main reason for the unsatisfactory effects of moral education in China over a period of time
lies in the predominance of virtual moral education. In authentic situations, the proper arrangement of moral conflicts requires
careful analysis of values hidden in the prearranged or generated moral conflicts so as to utilize, guide, and control them
properly. Such arrangement of moral conflicts should be adapted to students’ life experience for deepening their understanding
of the moral aspects of life. Also, special attention should be attached to students’ varied requirements, thus leaving enough
options and space for their independent participation in activities of moral education.
