Activities(SAA)

Theories of Moral Development Piaget & Kohlberg

Piaget’s Stages of Moral Development

Piaget hypothesized two stages of moral development

A. Heteronomous morality
B. Autonomous reality

A. Heteronomous Morality (Younger Children)


Based on relations of constraints
Rules are seen as inflexible requirements (moral realism)
Badness is judged in terms of the consequences of actions
Punishment is seen as the automatic consequence of the violation of rules
(Slavin, 2003)

B. Autonomous Morality (Older Children)


Based on relations of cooperation among equals
Rules are viewed as products of mutual agreement (rational moral attitudes)
Badness is determined the person’s intentions
Punishment should be affected by human intention (Slavin, 2003)

Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Reasoning

He identified three levels that are made up of six stages; The levels are
o Preconventional
o Conventional
o Postconventional
Kohlberg developed his theory by probing children and adults’ responses to a series
of structured situations or moral dilemmas (Slavin, 2003).

Preconventional Level

Stage 1: Punishment and obedience orientation. Physical consequences of action


determine its goodness or badness.
Stage 2: Instrumental relativist orientation. What is right is what satisfies your own
needs and occasionally the needs of others, e.g., the expectations of the family
group or nation can be seen as valuable in own right.
Slavin, 2003

Conventional Level
Stage 3: “Good boy – good girl” orientation – good behavior is what pleases or
helps others and is approved by them
Stage 4: Law and order orientation – right is doing one’s duty, showing respect
for authority, and maintaining social order for its own sake (Slavin, 2003).

Postconventional Level
Stage 5: Social contract orientation – what is right is a function of individual rights
and agreed upon standards.
Stage 6: Universal ethical principle orientation – what is right is determined
decision of conscience according to self-chosen ethical principles (these principles
are abstract and ethical not specific moral prescriptions) (Slavin, 2003)
IV. Summary/Key
Points

Criticisms Kohlberg’s population for his research was primarily male.

Some research on girls’ moral reasoning finds patterns that are somewhat different
from those proposed by Kohlberg. Whereas boys’ moral reasoning revolves
primarily around issues of justice, girls are more concerned about issues of caring
and responsibility for others. (Slavin, 2003, pp )
Slavin, 2003

Young children often reason about moral situations in more sophisticated ways than
the stage theories of Piaget and Kohlberg would suggest. Children as young as 3
or 4 years old use intentions to judge the behavior of others (Slavin, 2003).
Slavin, 2003

Moral reasoning does not directly translate into behavior. Behavior may be affected
by many other factors other than reasoning, e.g.,
“Go along to get along”
Slavin, 2003
