    Kolhberg's stages of Moral Development included:

    • Pre-Conventional Morality & Premeditated Morality

    • Pre-Conventional Morality, Conventional Morality & Post-Conventional Morality

    • Pre-Conventional Morality, Conventional Morality & Premeditated Morality

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Pre-Conventional Morality, Conventional Morality & Post-Conventional Morality
    Explanation
    Kohlberg's stages of Moral Development included Pre-Conventional Morality, Conventional Morality, and Post-Conventional Morality. These stages represent the different levels of moral reasoning that individuals go through as they develop. In the pre-conventional stage, individuals make decisions based on self-interest and avoiding punishment. In the conventional stage, individuals make decisions based on societal norms and expectations. In the post-conventional stage, individuals develop their own moral principles and make decisions based on ethical considerations. These stages reflect the progression of moral reasoning from a self-centered perspective to a more principled and ethical approach.

    Lawrence Kohlberg agreed with Paiget's theory of moral development in principle but wanted to develop his ideas further..

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Lawrence Kohlberg did agree with Piaget's theory of moral development, but he also wanted to expand on it. Kohlberg believed that moral development continues throughout a person's life and that it is influenced by social interactions and experiences. He developed a theory of moral development that consisted of six stages, each building upon the previous one. This shows that the statement is true because Kohlberg did agree with Piaget's theory but also added his own ideas to further develop the understanding of moral development.

    • Socially unacceptable behavior moral development in young children

    • Inability to make friends

    • Alcohol and drug problems

    • Criminality

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The lack of moral development can lead to socially unacceptable behavior in young children, as they may not have a strong understanding of right and wrong. This can result in an inability to make friends, as their behavior may be off-putting or disrespectful. Additionally, the lack of moral development can contribute to alcohol and drug problems, as individuals may not have a strong sense of self-control or understanding of the negative consequences of substance abuse. Finally, the lack of moral development can also lead to criminality, as individuals may not have a strong internal compass guiding their actions and may engage in illegal activities without remorse.

    Teachers of young children cannot be effective from a distance; we invite children to be motivated to care by:

    • Showing respect for them when moving to their eye level as they talk to us

    • Responding in ways children find comforting when they are sad, angry, or afraid

    • Showing we are happy to see children when they arrive and telling them how much we missed them when they were absent

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because all three options mentioned - showing respect for children by moving to their eye level, responding in comforting ways when they are sad, angry, or afraid, and showing happiness and missing them when they arrive or are absent - are effective ways to motivate and engage young children. These actions help in building a positive and supportive relationship between teachers and children, which is essential for effective teaching and learning.

    Piaget's Theory of Moral Development is characterized by a transition from Heteronomous to Autonomous moral thinking..

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Piaget's Theory of Moral Development proposes that children progress from a stage called Heteronomous morality, where they follow rules without questioning them, to a stage called Autonomous morality, where they develop their own sense of right and wrong. This transition is a key aspect of Piaget's theory, and it suggests that as children grow and develop cognitively, they become more capable of thinking independently and making moral judgments based on their own understanding of fairness and justice. Therefore, the statement that Piaget's Theory of Moral Development is characterized by a transition from Heteronomous to Autonomous moral thinking is true.

    What is a teaching strategy that supports the development of conscience in young children?

    • Use books, puppets, and storytelling to provide children with scenarios that show characters following their conscience

    • Use group activities to shape a true caring community

    • Use responsive victim-centered reasoning as a guidance tool

    • Expect accountability

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above strategies support the development of conscience in young children. Using books, puppets, and storytelling helps children understand and learn about following their conscience through relatable scenarios. Group activities create a caring community where children can learn empathy and compassion. Responsive victim-centered reasoning helps children understand the consequences of their actions and make better choices. Expecting accountability teaches children to take responsibility for their actions and consider the impact on others. By combining all of these strategies, children can develop a strong sense of conscience and moral reasoning.

This is because the question states that one of the best known of Kohlberg's stories concerns a man called Heinz, and then provides options for where he lived. The correct answer can be determined by reading the question carefully and selecting the option that matches the information given.

    What was one of the problems with Kohlberg's Method?

    • The dilemmas are artificial

    • The Sample is biased

    • The Dilemmas are hypothetical

    • They were based off true events in his life

    • They got them from someone else's work and didn't do his own research

    • All of the above

    • A, B & C

    • A & D

    Correct Answer
    A. A, B & C
    Explanation
    Kohlberg's method had several problems. One of the problems was that the dilemmas used in his research were artificial, meaning they were not real-life situations. This could have affected the validity and applicability of his findings. Additionally, the sample used in his research was biased, which means it may not have represented the general population accurately. Lastly, the dilemmas used were hypothetical, meaning they were theoretical scenarios rather than real situations. These limitations suggest that Kohlberg's method may not have provided a comprehensive understanding of moral development.

    In The Moral Judgement of The Child, Jean Piaget claims that relationships with peers based on equality have a fundamental effect on ________

    Correct Answer
    moral development
    Explanation
    Jean Piaget argues in The Moral Judgement of The Child that the presence of egalitarian relationships with peers plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's moral development. These relationships, where individuals are treated as equals, provide opportunities for children to engage in moral reasoning, negotiate conflicts, and develop a sense of fairness and justice. Through these interactions, children learn to consider the perspectives and needs of others, develop empathy, and internalize moral principles. Thus, the presence of relationships based on equality has a profound impact on the formation of an individual's moral beliefs and behaviors.
