The purposes of this research were 1) Study the basic information on the model of moral schools to enhance student quality in the digital era; 2) Develop a model of moral schools to enhance student quality in the digital era; 3) Implement the moral school model to enhance student quality in the digital era; and 4) Evaluate student quality and the moral school model to enhance student quality in the digital era. This is a Research and Development (R&D) study.
