Larry P. Nucci

Opis

This two-part book presents theory and research demonstrating that morality forms a domain of social values that is distinct from matters of societal convention. It presents practical suggestions for teachers on how to establish a moral classroom climate, deal with student discipline, integrate moral and social values education into the curriculum, and contribute to students' development of the moral self. The author tackles controversial issues--such as the relation between morality and religious rules, and the nature of cultural variation in moral value--with research and theory, rather than ideology.

Recenzje

'With Education in the Moral Domain, Nucci draws together 25 years of his research so clearly and helpfully that this is bound to become the first place to which students and practitioners are directed for an account of the domain approach to moral education.' Journal of Moral Education
