1.Kohlberg’s theory ..Piaget’s theory of moral development occurs in two distinct stages that young children believe that rules are dictated by either their parents o r by God ,Young children base their moral judgement on consequences rather than intentions,children move from concrete understanding of morality to more abstract one,where they realize that rukes are not absolute but are ways for human to cooperate and get along. Whereas Kohlberg theory of moral development offers more sophisticated understanding of childhood morality in six stages and its more detailed and deeper understanding of human development of morality than Piaget’s theory.
ReplyDelete2.. Morality is a critical part of human development, the essence of which dictates how well a person functions in society with others. It is a behavior of doing good and wrong conduct.
3. Basis of doing good is my conscience I was raised a Christian so I felt bad when I did wrong with my
4. I Make sure that I have strong morals with myself. Because You can't expect kids to follow the rules if you don't follow them. Teach by doing. Be a good person and your child will want to copy you. And children need to understand why you feel way you do and explain why you believe what you do.
1. I agree with Lawrence Kohlberg that the theory of Moral Development that refers to the emergence in children of universal moral standards that lead to condemnation of behavior such as lying and cheating. Lawrence Kohlberg believed children can be moral present to the children with a series of moral dilemmas and asking them what they would do and why they would do it. Kohlberg told several dilemma stories and asked many such questions to discover how people reasoned about moral issues. He identified three distinct levels of moral reasoning each with two sub stages. People can only pass through these levels in the order listed. Each new stage replaces the reasoning typical of the earlier stage. Not everyone achieves all the stages
ReplyDelete2. Morality as I understood refers to the behavior of a child from right or wrong. Forced children to make decisions based on their moral reasoning. Morality is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good or right and those that are bad or wrong . Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal.
3. The Basis of the right or wrong is the Natural Law and the parents’ knowledge about the actions that can be in simple explanation that for example child see right and wrong by what their parents teach them. The parents see what's right or wrong not only by what their own parents have taught them, but how they perceive society and what society teaches them. Every country has a prominent religion which has been the BASIS of right and wrong.
4. I will teach them basic circumstances of right and wrong, by giving example like telling stories about moral standards in a society and explain the event why and how to analyze, and to identify the basic morality standards.
9th, Moral Development
ReplyDelete1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain.
In my opinion I am agree in Kohlberg’s Moral Development because it is easy for everyone to better understand what kind of moral changes that they're going through.
Kohlberg’s beliefs help individuals to understand stages of moral values, principles and the need for a sense of order in society. Kohlberg’s theory was that the development of moral thought would help individuals to develop a greater knowledge of the norms of society.
Lawrence Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development
Level 1 (Pre-Conventional)
1. Obedience and punishment orientation
(How can I avoid punishment?)
2. Self-interest orientation
(What's in it for me?)
(Paying for a benefit)
Level 2 (Conventional)
3. Interpersonal accord and conformity
(Social norms)
(The good boy/girl attitude)
4. Authority and social-order maintaining orientation
(Law and order morality)
Level 3 (Post-Conventional)
5. Social contract orientation
6. Universal ethical principles
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality is a degree of something what is right and wrong. It is System of moral conduct, values and principles. It governs individual and society as a whole. Morality makes us a unique individual and we become the highest form of creation because of our moral norms.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
The basis of right and wrong is most influenced by what is acceptable and unacceptable in our society. For example, marrying at a young age is unacceptable for most of us but in some places marrying in the age of 13 or below is a part of their culture and tradition and it is right and acceptable for them.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
I will teach morality on my students by setting myself as an example because as educators we are their second parents. We are responsible in every act and decision we will make inside and outside of school.
And as a parent it is best to apply our own morality in our own act before we can be a good parent to our children. How can we teach them to become a good individual if it is in our own doings we cannot determine what is right and wrong? Morality passes from generation to generation, because our children look us as an example and they learn from what they observed from us.

Stages 5 & 6
Social Contract and Individual Rights. The child/individual becomes aware that while rules/laws might exist for the good of the greatest number, there are times when they will work against the interest of particular individuals. The issues are not always clear cut. For example, in Heinz’s dilemma the protection of life is more important than breaking the law against stealing.
Universal Principles. People at this stage have developed their own set of moral guidelines which may or may not fit the law. The principles apply to everyone. E.g. human rights, justice and equality. The person will be prepared to act to defend these principles even if it means going against the rest of society in the process and having to pay the consequences of disapproval and or imprisonment.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality for me refers to personal values, principles, and beliefs on what is right or wrong. Morality reflects on a man’s actions and choices.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
For me an act would be right if it does not do any harm or offend someone.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
In teaching morality, first you should serve as a role model for them by telling truths, showing respect to others, accepting and fulfilling responsibilities, playing fair, and earning and returning favors.
You cannot show/teach what morality is if students couldn’t see it from you, because students portray their teachers. For example, how would you teach respect to them if you are per se is saying bad words and shouting to them? You show them how to speak softly, teach them the basics like “Thank You”, “Sorry”, “Please”, etc.
1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kohlberg’s theory that individuals could only morally progress one stage at a time. And that people behave and progresses as he grows old and adjust according to his age. Say in stage 1 it is true that people behave according to socially acceptable norms because they are told to do so by some authority figure (e.g., parent or teacher). While in stage 6, as the person matures he behaves based on respect for universal principle and the demands of individual conscience.
2. In your own words, define morality?
For me morality is the application of God’s laws in my everyday living.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
My basis of right and wrong are the words of God written in the Holy Scriptures. I believe that should you live and make decisions in accord to God’s law, you will never go wrong.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
I believe in the verse written in Proverbs 22:6 that says:
Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Indeed, the best time to teach children morality is when they are still young, so that when they grow old, these moral teachings will be their guide as they continue to live their lives. As their teacher, my relationship with my student would dictate how I will be of help in shaping my students’ moral development. Being empathic is one. I will also try my very best to instill in them virtues and standards, and as a true Christian, I will teach them a clear sense of right and wrong based on God’s law.
1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain
ReplyDeleteAnswer:
For me, I agree with Kohlberg’s Moral Development Theory. He believed that people progressed in their reasoning through series of stages. These are the Pre-conventional, Conventional and Post-conventional. Kohlberg believed that individuals could only progress through these stages one stage at a time. That is, they could not "jump" stages. They could not, for example, move from an orientation of selfishness to the law and order stage without passing through the good boy/girl stage. They could only come to a comprehension of a moral rationale one stage above their own. Thus, according to Kohlberg, it was important to present them with moral dilemmas for discussion which would help them to see the reasonableness of a "higher stage" morality and encourage their development in that direction. The last comment refers to Kohlberg's moral discussion approach. He saw this as one of the ways in which moral development can be promoted through formal education. Note that Kohlberg believed, as did Piaget, that most moral development occurs through social interaction. The discussion approach is based on the insight that individuals develop as a result of cognitive conflicts at their current stage.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Answer:
Morality for me is how you differentiate right from wrong.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
Answer:
I think, my basis of right and wrong is being able to do things which will be beneficial for others. It could also be through the influence of the people in your surroundings. As long as you’re not taking advantage of one person’s weaknesses or strengths and their interest, then you will be living with peace in your heart and mind.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
Answer:
Being a good example to your learners is one way of teaching them the importance of morality. As defined, morality could be the basis of doing what is right and wrong. If you are a noble person, it is most likely that these kids will perceive you as someone whom they will respect and valued. It is also important to teach them the values and beliefs which will help them as they go on with their lives
1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain.
ReplyDeleteAmong the theories of moral development, I agree with Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory. This theory make us understand that morality starts from the early childhood years and can be affected by several factors. I agree that morality can be developed either negatively or positively, depending on how an individual accomplishes the tasks before him during each stage of moral development across his lifespan.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality is the belief or extent to which an action is right or wrong.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
Right and wrong for me is based on my ethics and religion. Behavior is about what is, ethics is about what ought to be.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
Morals and ethics are not taught, they are accepted by observation of others behaviors and a decision on what your behavior will be. That’s why instead of trying to teach it, I will be a good example instead to my students/children.
1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree?
ReplyDeleteFor me, I agree with Lawrence Kohlberg 's theory. The theory of Kohlberg explains that an individual progresses in their moral reasoning, their bases for their ethical behavior through series of stages in life. The theory explains that morality is starting to develop from early childhood and it could be affected by several factors. This theory also explains how the society and norms could be a factor in moral development of an individual.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality for me is a conformity to shared standards, rights and duties apart from the supporting authority. Morality, is also the act of doing what is right and wrong on the based society or norms.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
For me, the basis of right or wrong is doing the right behavior and attitude towards other people and within yourself. Also, the basis on the commandments of God on how you will be able to apply it on your everyday lives. It can be also based on the society's laws and principles.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/ children? Give example.
I will teach morality among my students by giving and defining morality. In nature, morality cannot be taught because it can already be established in early age. Maybe we can be able to develop it and enhance it by teaching the principles and giving them the importance of morality in their lives.

ReplyDeleteAnswer: I strongly believe on Kohlberg's theory because it explains that we start to have a strong sense of morality even when we are all young and just starting to experience new things. Our morality could be affected by different factors as we grow up and mature as an individual
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality is a certain definition for an individual of what is right or wrong. Morality can be define within the society or whatever an individual will value or try to believe to have a standard for living.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
My basis of what's right or wrong is doing what I know best to do in a certain situation. I also value always showing the truth rather than sugarcoating what's wrong.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
I will teach morality to my students by giving them sets of examples and being a role model to them. I can also teach them there are a lot to consider on knowing what's moral or not. So that they can construct their own knowledge and try to live it for their lives.

ReplyDelete1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain.
ReplyDeleteI would go with Kohlberg's theory because as he stated that moral development proceeds in a linear, step-wise fashion; i.e., moral development proceeds gradually from one stage to the next, in a predictable, ordered sequence. Although Kohlberg recognized each child progressed through these stages at different rates, and acknowledged that some youth may never reach the highest stages, his theory does not account for regression back to former, previously mastered stages as do some other developmental theorists. Kohlberg believed that by early adolescence most youth have reached the mid-level of moral reasoning called the Conventional Level. At this level, morality is determined by social norms; i.e., morality is determined by the rules and social conventions that are explicitly or implicitly agreed upon by a group of people. These rules and customs function to serve to the best interests of the group's majority, while simultaneously providing a structure that maintains social order and limits discord among group members.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality is the highest standard for human behavior. But you cannot understand what is moral before you understand human behavior and what is good and what is right. It is also based upon self understanding because if you do not understand yourself, you will not be able to understand others, their behavior and the nature of being human. It is human nature that creates what we are and our rules for behavior.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
What is right is to fulfill the requirements of comfort, well being and social acceptability, all facets of that instinct for oneself and one’s family and neighbors. What would be moral is to fulfill those same responsibilities for oneself, one’s family, neighbors, community and others who would benefit from that persons words, actions and behaviors.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
For me, teaching morality is very challenging. You have to show your students that you practice what you teach. You have to be the best example for your students for them to believe that morality is a serious matter. I will also show them videos that show morality of different people to help them understand more about morality.
1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the theory of Lawrence Kohlberg. The six (6) stages of moral development in three levels: the pre-conventional level - children are characterized by punishment and obedience orientation in which they tend to adhere to their parents and the elderly to evade punishment and to please them by following their precepts. As we enter the conventional level, we tend to base moral judgment on conformity and loyalty. We are inclined to seek approval to be characterized as good girl/boy. It is through obedience and respect to the precepts to people in authority, loyalty to family and doing our duty. In the post-conventional level, we already base our reasoning on ethical principles in which we tend to adhere to contract, general rights, legal point of view, and self-chosen universal principles of justice.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality is doing what is right in accordance to the Divine and Natural law.
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
My basis of right and wrong is God's Word (Bible.)
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
Teaching morality is a very sensitive issue. Nowadays, there are many "truths", as every individual has their own set of beliefs. This should be taught with utmost care. For me, to teach morality effectively is to "walk the talk." Whatever we teach should first be seen in our personal lives. I believe that the Bible teaches what is right and wrong, and I could use Bible stories and integrate personal thoughts. Also, role playing and reflection are very important tools as well.
A1. For me the most effective theory about moral development is kohlberg's theory. I believe that like other human development, moral development should undergo process wherein we follow different kind of stages that depend how we handle our perspective.
ReplyDeleteA2. Morality is your understanding about the difference between right and wrong.
A3. For me the basis of my right and wrong is my conscience, god and other people around me.
A4. Morality is hard to explain because we have our own perspective in life. Maybe I will teach it by sharing my own perspective about it. For example premarital sex, I will share first my own idea about it then I will discuss the good and bad effects of it then after I will let them decide on what their stand about this issue. I will not dictate my own morality but then I want them to choose the right way of thinking.
1.I realize how important is too driven of the decision in terms of moral aspect.
ReplyDeleteAs a future educator, I will teach the children on how to distinguish right or wrong situation base on moral principles and ethics because this can be a guide for them in the future.
2.Morality for it refers to our personal values.
3.My own basis of my right and wrong is my God and parents, my conscience and other people around me.
4.The ethics lessons are helping students respect one another and respect differences. The course teaches kids how to think, and make decisions based on facts rather than on opinions. We should talk about choices and what is involved in making choices. The students analyze choices and consequences. Sometimes, you only have difficult choices or bad choices; but ultimately, one choice is better than the others. Communicating effectively and presenting evidence are other skills -- and students are quick to put them to use.
1. Among the theories of moral development, which one do you agree? Explain.
ReplyDeletei personally believed in the theory of Jean Piaget
According to Piaget, youth develop the morality of cooperation, at the age of 10 years or older. As youth develop a morality of cooperation they realize that in order to create a cooperative society people must work together to decide what is acceptable, and what is not. Piaget believed that youth at this age begin to understand that morals represent social agreements between people and are intended to promote the common good. Furthermore, they recognize people may differ in the way they understand and approach a moral situation or problem. They also begin to understand that the difference between right and wrong is not an absolute but instead must take into account changing variables such as context, motivation, abilities, and intentions. Contrast this to younger youth who believe rules and laws are created by indisputable, wise authorities and believe that rules established by these wise authorities ought never be challenged or changed. Moreover, Piaget believed youth at this age begin to understand that the morality of a decision does not rest solely on the outcome of that decision. For example, youth at this age realize that running a stop sign is wrong, regardless of whether or not a person receives a traffic ticket, or causes a traffic accident.
2. In your own words, define morality?
Morality is a differentiation of intentions and actions whether it is considered right or wrong
3. What is your basis of right and wrong?
God alone is the real basis of what is right and what is wrong. as a catholic i firmly believe that he is the source of all goodness and in order for us to obtain his blessings we must learn how to communicate with him in our simple prayers. asking for his guidance in every decisions, actions that we make and offering it up to his greater glory.
4. How do you plan to teach morality among your students/children? Give example.
by inserting real life situations that would instill in my students the value of morality. like for example if some of my students would like to be politicians someday i would strongly suggest that he follows the law and don't make any actions that would tarnish his name and always ask God for his guidance for him to be able to come up with the best decision he will make.
