Discussing Moral Dilemmas
Captions available
The idea
A classroom approach drawn from Kohlberg's theory has students discuss moral dilemmas, and Blatt and Kohlberg's experiment tested the effect of such discussion on children's moral judgment.
In practice
Students debate whether a character should break a promise to protect a friend.
Where people slip
The discussion aims at the quality of reasoning, not at reaching one right answer.
