Abstract

Ethical awareness is a critical component of social sciences education, fostering responsible decision-making and moral reasoning among students. Experiential learning—through simulations, role-playing, service learning, and community engagement—provides an effective pedagogical approach to embed ethical understanding in real-world contexts. This paper explores strategies to promote ethical awareness in social sciences curricula, examines the impact of experiential learning methods on student engagement and moral development, and discusses challenges and best practices. Case studies and literature insights highlight the transformative potential of active, participatory learning in developing ethical competencies for future social scientists.
