Abstract
This research aims to investigate the relationship between human rights education and moral education by considering the characteristics of teaching materials on human rights issues. The data utilized for this research were 72 elementary and junior high school moral education textbooks. Both human rights and moral education give pupils the opportunity to address human rights issues and overcome the perception that these things exist in different worlds, as well as contribute to the advancement of human rights issues. It can be said that promoting the resolution of human rights issues is a point that the two areas of education have in common. From the findings presented in this paper, it can be considered that moral education textbooks play a role in both promoting understanding of, and addressing, human rights issues. This shows an overlap between human rights and moral education. In fact, the complementary relationship between the two means it is important to systematically promote educational activities regarding human rights issues. This can help strengthen the relationship between the two.
