Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg proposed theories of moral development that provide a framework for children’s moral reasoning. For this discussion:
- Briefly discuss similarities and differences in Kohlberg’s and Piaget’s theories.
- Discuss what you believe is the most salient criticism of each theory.
- Which theory of moral development do you believe is a more useful framework for an intentional teacher? Provide an example of a way that you would incorporate this theory into your own intentional teaching practice.
- For example: According to Piaget, students are more capable of conscientiously using and following rules around the age of 10 to 12. With this in mind, an intentional teacher might have a class meeting to allow children of this age to set classroom rules and expectations.
- Be sure to include properly cited scholarly sources in your discussion to support your assertions
