Methods: The research method is semi-experimental (pre-test, post-test with control group). The statistical society of the study included all the sixth grade female students and their mothers in Ilam city. 100 students and their mothers were selected as a statistical sample. The ethical evolution questionnaire (Linde, 2004 and 2005) and self-governing scale (2004) were used for gathering data. The collected data were analyzed by using statistical descriptive and inferential indicators (multivariate covariance analysis) with SPSS.22 software. Results: The findings revealed that the group significantly affects the self-governing (F(3,90) = 36.31, P < 0.0001 and partial ƞ2 = 0.54) and ethical evolution scores (F(3,90) = 25.25, P < 0.0001 and partial ƞ2 = 0.45) score. At the end of the study, the mean scores of ethical evolution and self-governing of the mothers in the experimental groups were higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). The mean scores of the students in the experimental group were also higher than those in the control group in all scales (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in any of the scales of the mothers and daughters in the control group (P > 0.05). However, in two scales of self-governing and ethical evolution, the scores of the experimental group mothers were significantly higher than the experimental group daughters (P < 0.01). Conclusions: It was concluded that, the philosophy education program affected the ethical evolution and self-governing of the students and their parents. Therefore, this program can be used to improve the ethical evolution and self-governing of the students and their parents.
