Constructing emotion and the quest for challenges in moral education are centered around the comprehension of emotions in moral philosophy and neuroscience. Moral psychology has unveiled the concealed mechanisms behind moral judgment, underscoring the significance of emotions. The pedagogical implications are twofold: emotions often intertwine with moral judgment and behavior, influencing moral choices, while understanding emotions aids in regulating their impact on moral behavior. This study highlights Barrett's view on emotional constructivism in moral education, focusing on: firstly, the understanding of emotions in moral philosophy, biology, and physiology; secondly, Barrett's theory of constructed emotion from a neuroscientific standpoint; thirdly, the implications of constructed emotion theory for ethics education in schools.
