Abstract: The research focuses on the T-shaped moral education model from the perspective of life-practice education. It begins by addressing the limitations of traditional life-centered moral education theories, analyzing the intrinsic connection between life and practice, and emphasizing the critical role of practice in moral education. The T-shaped model uses“T” as its structural metaphor: the horizontal bar “-” symbolizes the lateral integration of life dimensions,reflecting the relational framework between individuals and nature, society and the self; the vertical bar“I”represents the longitudinal advancement of practice, characterized by objectivity,reflexivity and value-driventranscendence. This model inherently combines dcontological and virtue ethics. Finally, the research proposes implementation strategies:“horizontal integration and vertical advancement" to expand life experiences and deepen practical engagement;“dynamic interaction between horizontal and vertical dimensions” to build an educational ecosystem; and “adaptive adjustments based on contextual needs" to dynamically refine moral education approaches. The T-shaped model redefines moral education by harmonizing subjective and objective conceptions of goodness, offering a novel pathway for ethical development.
