CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The second phase in Piaget’s theory of moral development is referred to as the Autonomous Phase. This phase is more common after one has matured and is no longer a child. In this phase, people begin to view the intentions behind actions as more important than their consequences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget’s second stage of moral development is characterized primarily by what he terms “moral realism.” This refers to the young child’s belief that rules are always externally given, cannot be altered, and must be literally obeyed.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Piaget, youth develop the morality of cooperation, at the age of 10 years or older. As youth develop a morality of cooperation they realize that in order to create a cooperative society people must work together to decide what is acceptable, and what is not.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The preoperational stage is the second stage in Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. This stage begins around age two and lasts until approximately age seven. During this period, children are thinking at a symbolic level but are not yet using cognitive operations.
