In this study, it was aimed to reveal the individual and society model designed by Emile Durkheim, one of the pioneers of sociology, by examining her views on moral and values education.The findings obtained were compared with the understanding of moral and values education applied in the Turkish education system and Durkheim's footprints were sought. The document analysis, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research and the findings were interpreted with content analysis. It has been determined that Durkheim's understanding of moral education is at the core of the nation-state ideology and that he puts the education system in the center in this sense. Thinking that all individuals who make up the society should share common norms and values, Durkheim has designed a next generation devoted to its homeland and the society to which it belongs. He thinks that in order to raise this generation, children should be given moral education that serves national interests from an early age. There is an important similarity between the ideal citizen model designed by Durkheim and the citizen model that the Turkish education system is trying to train. Durkheim attributed important responsibilities to the teacher in the delivery of moral education, thinking that the teacher is the representative of the state, drawing a dominant teacher profile. Students, on the other hand, idealized themselves as passive, obedient and altruistic individuals who surrendered themselves to authority. The main argument of the research is Durkheim's work on Moral Education. In addition, by examining his various articles and studies, the idealized citizen model has been revealed.
