Abstract :

Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to identify the reconstructionism theoretical perspective on Ethics training and Lawfulness to students.Methodology: From a purpose perspective, the research method is fundamental and theoretical, and from an implementation perspective, it is of the philosophical research type. The required data were collected by document analysis and using the note-taking tool, and analyzed by the descriptive-interpretive method. The community under study consists of written books and electronic resources that present the theoretical perspective of reconstructionism, as well as research backgrounds related to the research topic.Findings: Research findings indicate that the reconstructionism theoretical perspective in the field of teaching ethics and law acceptance to students has specific educational elements. Reviewing the content of the curriculum with an emphasis on critical thinking, strengthening effective social relationships, employing new technologies, learning the culture of peace, providing a platform for obtaining firsthand social experiences, teaching problem-solving skills, striving to dignify individuals in society and cultivating worthy citizens - each of these theories has educational foundations and principles, goals, content, and instructional methods about moral and legal education, which share similarities and differences.Conclusion: In explaining the findings of the current research, it can be said that from the point of view of pragmatism, real education and training takes place more effectively in an open or democratic environment, an environment that is free from absolutes that hinder the freedom of research. Old and new individualism, stubbornindividualism,has been rejected as a historical remnant. Pragmatism strongly suggests planning and social action to adapt the emerging organized social system to human goals and purposes.
