Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (CASD) often face challenges in recognizing and understanding emotions, making it difficult for them to interpret their own emotions and those of others. These emotional and behavioral difficulties can lead to behaviors that deviate from social norms and ethical standards. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the previously developed Moral Awareness Game (MAG). An experimental method was used with 19 CASD participants and 14 teachers who provided feedback on their experiences with MAG during the learning process. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The findings indicate that the MAG application is effective in terms of ease of use and content quality, although improvements are needed in areas such as command delivery and the clarity of facial expressions. While previous studies have developed tools to support various skills in CASD, this study introduces an innovative focus on moral education. The results suggest that MAG offers a valuable new approach for teachers to support moral development in children with CASD. © 2025 The Authors.
