Integrating Cultural Wisdom and Digital Technologies for Children’s Moral and Emotional Development

Ms Garima, Girish Nath Jha


Abstract
The influence of technology in children’s education is increasing rapidly in the digital age, but with it the challenge of how to develop the cultural and moral development of children in a balanced manner in the technological environment. In traditional societies, moral and cultural teachings have often been imparted through religious and philosophical texts, memorization, interpretation, and oral tradition. This research presents an AI-based value-based learning framework, which aims to make cultural and ethical teachings more structured, simple, and technologically accessible to children. The study provides a brief analysis of memory-based teaching systems prevalent in various religious traditions and presents a model based on verses from the Bhagavad Gita as an example. The proposed system includes data generation and processing, simplified interpretation, semantic understanding, pronunciation analysis and interactive learning facilities based on selected material from cultural texts. The study indicates that through AI and modern technologies, traditional cultural knowledge can be delivered to children in a more effective and engaging form, developing new possibilities for reinforcing their moral and cultural development.
