Describe the three levels of moral reasoning in Kohlberg's theory. Does children's moral reasoning always correspond to their actual moral behavior? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Levels:
--preconventional is the lowest level where children do not yet understand that rules are social conventions
--conventional is the understanding that members of a group agree to abide by rules in their behaviors
--postconventional is the highest level where the person realizes that although rules are made for the good of the group, there are situations in which a person must break rules because of a higher ethical principle
Children do not always follow their moral reasoning; just because a person knows what is right and wrong does not mean that she or he will do the right thing
