Guidelines and examples are presented for how to use issues and course assignments in 8th and 9th grade history and English composition to develop students' moral judgment and their understandings of societies as normative systems. Background information is provided on domain theory and on the distinction between issues of morality and social convention. Examples are provided to illustrate how to identify the moral or conventional issues present in course readings and assignments.
Direction is provided for how teachers can stimulate student thinking about issues in each domain.
Using actual classroom events from preschool and home day care settings, guidelines are provided for how to identify the moral, social-conventional, or personal nature of social events. Suggestions are provided for how teachers and care-givers might best respond to each type of social issue in order to help children develop their understandings of social rules.
