CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At the postconventional level, the individual moves beyond the perspective of his or her own society. Morality is defined in terms of abstract principles and values that apply to all situations and societies. The individual attempts to take the perspective of all individuals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like Piaget, subjects were unlikely to regress in their moral development, but instead, moved forward through the stages: pre-conventional, conventional, and finally post-conventional. Each stage offers a new perspective, but not everyone functions at the highest level all the time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Level 1. Preconventional morality is the earliest period of moral development. It lasts until around the age of 9. At this age, children’s decisions are primarily shaped by the expectations of adults and the consequences of breaking the rules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Postconventional morality occurs when an individual develops their own set of ethics and morals to drive their decisions and actions. This is the highest stage of morality. There are two levels to this stage, the social contract and the universal ethics and principles level.
