CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stage 2: Instrumental Relativist Orientation For instance, a person steals money from another person because he needs that money to buy food for his hungry children. In Kohlberg’s theory, the children tend to say that this action is morally right because of the serious need of the doer.

Detailed explanation-2: -An example of self-interest driven is when a child is asked by his parents to do a chore. The child asks “what’s in it for me?” The parents would offer the child an incentive by giving a child an allowance to pay them for their chores. The child is motivated by self-interest to do chores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conventional morality is the second stage of moral development, and is characterized by an acceptance of social rules concerning right and wrong. At the conventional level (most adolescents and adults), we begin to internalize the moral standards of valued adult role models.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stage 5: Social Contract and Individual Rights This stage acknowledges the introduction of abstract reasoning as people attempt to explain specific behaviors. In our example above, the man should steal the medication for his wife because she is deathly ill and the laws do not take the circumstances into account.
