Kohlberg’s theory of moral development was created by a man named Lawrence Kohlberg. He was a professor at Harvard, as well as a psychology. Subsequently, he decided to move into the moral education field. He believed that there are three levels of moral development; each level is divided into two individual stages. His theory was influenced by the thinking of the Swiss psychologist, Piaget; American philosopher, John Dewey; and American philosopher/ psychologist, James Mark Baldwin.…
This approach can prepare children more soundly for their futures in the working world and can be supported by the thematic approach such as the example of Ethical Enterprise. Though there are struggles in ensuring all children receive a rounded learning experience and absorb all of the necessary subject specific knowledge, the process of learning and skills learned are consistent throughout the curriculum. Therefore, through motivating and inspiring planning, a cross-curricular approach can be applied effectively in the primary classroom, allowing all children to make significant…
The child is asked to stay put, listen, and observe the teacher. The first lesson that is taught by the teachers and bluntly state that “Learning is separate from Living”(Page 1, 2nd paragraph) and more lessons include that none of the child’s prior thoughts matter, nothing is worth doing for it ’s own sake, and how to avoid actually learning by being dependent for the answers from the teacher. John Holt then states an alternative on how to actually teach a child and suggests to get rid grades and the standard curriculums should be eliminated since children only remember what they often use. Holt ended his article stating “Children want, more than anything else- is to make sense of the world..”…
“I knew something was wrong since he was a baby, but the doctors would tell me time and time again it was just colic” Ms. Cruz states as she remembers the struggles, challenges and accomplishments she went through in order to determine what was wrong with her son. Ms. Cruz is the mother of a child who was diagnosed at the age 4yrs old with severe Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder also known as ADHD. It all began for Ms. Cruz as she recalls the non-stop continuous crying of her son as a newborn child. She remembers being told by the doctors that her baby boy was experiencing colic, which explained the crying. However, as her baby boy got older and began to crawl and walk, the crying didn’t get any better and his behavior was out of control.…
A code of ethics, which is also called a code of conduct or ethical code, tells the company’s values, ethics, objective and responsibilities. Magloff discusses that every code of ethics is different and should reflect the company’s values (Magloff, 2016). These ethics are written to give guidance to employees on what the company expects of them. According to our lesson those that are in charge of our corporate governance should be very mindful of things that go on in the business.…
1. What did you learn that was new to you from these chapters? The new thing that I have learned from these chapters, especially from “Defending childhood, pg 162” is the alienation of students who do not get motivated with the high-stakes testing. Learning has been one of the very tricky part of human history, differing and trying to maintain the universal purpose of learning, many people have come up with different ways to ensure that learning procedures and monitored and maintained for the benefit of students and parents.…
Overall, my beliefs about education’s role and purpose in society have not really changed. I still believe that it is important to educate students to get them ready for the real world because in my opinion, learning how to get ready for the real world is important for students to be successful. It is important to teach them teamwork, time management, how to deal with responsibility, and good life habits. If students cannot work together with other students than it is going to be hard for the student to be successful later on in life. I also still believe you need to teach students how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle.…
Children set fire to school I want to explore whether children are part of the moral community according to utilitarianism ethics. Recently in Western Alaska, a boy of the age of six and a girl of seven set fire to a school. Troopers and other officials quickly responded to the fire, so the damaged was minimal and did not injured anyone. Repairing the damaged is expected to cost less than $20,000.…
The social and theological trends of the readings speak about children’s own experiences and perspectives and adult memories of childhood while, at the same time, recognizing the challenges and risks that might create (Bunge, 2006). The authors share the same objective of “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart” (Proverbs 22: 6). Also, there is debate about careers mothers and the nurturing a child of the faith (Bunge, 2006). The perception within the tradition is that children are developing beings who need instruction and guidance.…

Ethics involves a critical analysis of primary moral beliefs, which include what is considered morally right, our meanings and values as well as how we live (Smith, Ladd and Pasquerella, 2008, p.5). Ethics can relate to all parts of society, and is fundamental in school settings. I have chosen to annalyse and apply ethical theory to case study one. Karen has to respond to the actions of her teaching assistant Anne, who has clearly broken rules and hasn’t followed ethical guidelines. There are a number of different perspectives this situation can be seen from and various approaches Karen can take to deal with it.…
Ethical issues involved in child labour According to the Deontological or Kantian tradition it is ethically incorrect to employ child labour because such practices violate our duty to treat children with respect. Rights of children are violated when we treat them as way of reaching the ‘end’ which is production and economic growth. Children are the victims of this malpractice since they cannot think rationally for themselves and they have not freely chosen to be a sweatshop worker. Hence we as society, are using them as tools simply because we were born in more privileged families. Thus even if a child labourer is producing beneficial consequences for the economy as a whole it is ethically wrong because it violates a fundamental human…
Philosophy of Education There are many professions and careers in the world. The one thing they all have in common is that the people have a philosophy they follow when they are working.

Each teacher has his or her own method of teaching. No one teacher teaches the same way as another. These methods are manifested in a teacher’s education philosophy, or “the principles that guide professional action. ”(Parkay, 2015, p.114) A teacher creates his or her philosophy by examining his/her beliefs in a variety of categories, like what a teacher’s role should be, what a student’s role should be, and what should be taught.…
