 Results Role play is understood as important in moral subject education and other areas of life. In moral subject education, the role play class model is presented as a major teaching and learning method, and it is applied to various situations and is meaningful in terms of moral subject education. In addition, play and representation have important meanings in human life, and in particular, the meaning of role play in the existential and implicit dimension of teachers and students needs to be of primary interest in terms of moral education. This is because play can enable an existential approach, and the student's representation of the teacher's role is being made at an implicit dimension.
 Conclusions Teachers should understand themselves and their students who participate in role play in the realm of life as well as moral subject education, and should reflect on the meaning of role play in moral education as a whole. Through this, better moral education will be achieved when understanding and practicing the existential approach and implicit dimension as well as the subject educational approach to role play.
