CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The framework of Kohlberg’s theory consists of six stages arranged sequentially in successive tiers of complexity. He organized his six stages into three general levels of moral development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Level 3-Postconventional morality Postconventional morality is the third stage of moral development, and is characterized by an individuals’ understanding of universal ethical principles. These are abstract and ill-defined, but might include: the preservation of life at all costs, and the importance of human dignity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory claims that our development of moral reasoning happens in six stages. The stages themselves are structured in three levels: Pre-Conventional, Conventional and Post-Conventional.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kohlberg’s six stages were grouped into three levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Following Piaget’s constructivist requirements for a stage model (see his theory of cognitive development), it is extremely rare to regress backward in stages.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stage 4 (Maintaining Social Order): This stage is focused on ensuring that social order is maintained. At this stage of moral development, people begin to consider society as a whole when making judgments. The focus is on maintaining law and order by following the rules, doing one’s duty, and respecting authority.
