Applying Theory in Classroom Encouraging Moral Development
Recognize that younger children will respond to moral conflicts in different way as compared to older fellows.
Try to take the viewpoint of the children and simulate their value opinion.
Develop awareness of moral issues by using a variety of real and hypothetical moral dilemmas.
Moral values should be encouraged all the time; not only during the relevant period.
Encourage classroom environment that encourage the open discussion.
Ask "Why" questions about the moral dilemmas likewhat would they do if they were in the same situationunder discussion. Ask them to explain why they wouldact that way.
Complicate the dilemma i.e. if at this place there had been your best friend then how would you have reacted.
Use naturalistic and personal dilemmas. Put students in the position of people confronting a dilemma.
