Moral formation isn't just downloading content into a bunch of brains; it involves an inner transformation of the heart. It involves helping students change their motivations so that they want to lead the kind of honorable and purposeful lives that are truly worth wanting. It's more about inspiration than information.
There are professors who teach with the idea that they can help their students become better people. It may be a literature professor teaching empathy or a physics professor who doesn't teach only physics but also the scientific way of life - how to lead a life devoted to wonder, curiosity, intellectual rigor and exploration.
Character formation means building up three types of strengths: strengths of the heart (kindness), strengths of the mind (curiosity), and strengths of the will (self-control). This holistic approach is crucial for developing moral character in young individuals.
