How did Piaget and Kohlberg study children's moral development?
What will be an ideal response?
Piaget observed children playing games such as marbles and making judgments on the basis of the seriousness of the wrongdoing of characters in stories. On the basis of these observations, he concluded that children's moral judgments develop into two overlapping stages: moral realism and autonomous morality. Kolhberg presented children with dilemmas based on ‘The Case of Heinz" and asked children what Heinz should do. He found that children develop morally in stages, in the same sequence, but at different rates. He also did not believe that everyone reaches the highest stage. Kohlberg believed that there were three levels of moral development with two stages within each level.
