Assignment task: Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg proposed theories of moral development that provide a framework for children's moral reasoning. For this discussion:
1. Briefly discuss similarities and differences in Kohlberg's and Piaget's theories.
2. Discuss what you believe is the most salient criticism of each theory.
3. 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
