Abstract
Eğitimde en çok araştırılan konulardan biri karakter eğitimidir. Karakter eğitiminin, değerler eğitimi ve ahlâk eğitimi gibi bazı eğitimsel yaklaşımlarla yakın bağlantıları vardır. Bu makale, çok sayıda yayından kısaca alanyazın incelemelerini sunarak karakter ve karakter eğitimi kavramlarına doğrudan değinmektedir. Ayrıca ortak özellikleri açısından ahlâk eğitimi ile değerler eğitiminden bahsetmektedir, zira hepsi birçok bakımdan birbirine benzemektedir. Karakterimiz aslında kim olduğumuzdur ve topluma saygıdeğer ve ahlâklı bir birey yetiştirmek için, etkili karakter eğitimi almak oldukça önemlidir. Bu sebeple, karakter eğitimine maruz kalmak tüm insanlar için öncelikli olmalı ve eğitimciler karakter eğitimini ciddi olarak ele almalıdırlar.

Abstract
One of the most researched topics in education has been character education. It has close links with some educational approaches such as values education and moral education. This paper simply touches on the concepts of character and character education by offering literature review shortly from many publications. It also mentions moral education and values education in terms of their common qualities as they all resemble each other in a lot of ways. One’s character is who we are actually and receiving effective character education is highly significant to produce a respectable, moral member for the society. Hence, being exposed to character education must be a priority for all human beings and educators need to consider it seriously.
