Yes. I believe that elementary schools should overtly focus on teaching respect and morality. It is during elementary grades that children’s sense of respect and morality starts to develop. At 5 to 8 or 9 years, Piaget’s heteronomous morality stage suggests that a child becomes a moral realist where rules he/she considers unalterable (moral absolutes) are determined by authorities and must be obeyed because violators are punished, while Kohlberg’s punishment and obedience orientation stage suggests that a child obeys rules he/she interprets literally to avoid punishment and assumes that authority is superior or right (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Although Piaget’s and Kohlberg’s beliefs vary in some other aspects, it is clear that during elementary

This means that kids 10-15 years old are already engaging in a give-and-take social environment. They meet their expectations or interests halfway with peers of the same age range as they play. The 10-year old boy in the scenario who is always giving up what he wants to please others is still less mature than the boys who bully him. Although he is still considered normal as boys do not typically develop at the same pace, he obviously exhibits the characteristics of someone at Selma’s stage 1 of friendship development, approximately 5-9 years, such as: form of shared experience is unreflective sharing of expressive enthusiasm, social perspective taking skill is differentiated or subjective, and interpersonal negotiating strategies are one-way or unilateral power and orders or obedience (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). The 10-year old boy’s weakness to easily give up, as a manifestation of his delayed friendship development, unfortunately is what triggers his peers to bully …show more content…
I believe that assigning students cooperative learning activities is allowing them to engage in academic play, which they will eventually mimic during recess time. For example, the way they share their materials during their cooperative learning activities will teach them how they should share their toys with playmates during recess time.
Question 3: Imagine that you are counseling a 6th grader on how to improve her study skills so that she will remember more information on tests. How might you support this student? What strategies will you teach her? Explain your reasoning using information from the literature. (Your response should be 100-200 words).
Based on Piaget’s cognitive stages of development, a 6th grader is already at the concrete operational stage (7-12 years) who now starts to decenter and uses logical thinking and reasoning based on concrete objects and events (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). If I were counseling a 6th grader on how to improve her study skills, I will support her by teaching and modeling to her practical strategies appropriate to her age and cognitive readiness that will help her learn and remember more information on
