Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Reasoning Identify which of Kohlberg’s Six Stages of Moral Reasoning the scenario depicts.

A student offers to be last in line when going to the cafeteria so she can be first in line when going out for recess. Stage 2 In this stage, students are driven to get what they want, but realize that others have needs that they may need to recognize in order to get what they want. The student appears to be helpful by offering to be last in line, but really, they are focused on serving their own needs by being able to be first for recess. This stage could also be thought of as “exchanging of favors.” 2. A sign says: “Wear appropriate shoes on the gym floor.” A high school student abides by this rule and wears only gym shoes when at the gym. The gym teacher had previously reinforced that public property must be properly taken care of in the schools. Stage 4 Moral decisions are driven by following the rules of society. The person will not question the rules and automatically comply because it is good to do one’s duty in society. The context of a situation does not make a difference. If the sign says wear gym shoes, you must wear gym shoes. 3. A middle school student pleasantly agrees to throw out the gum she is chewing to please the teacher. Stage 3 In this stage, students are driven to make decisions solely to please others. Students in this stage are very concerned with relationships with other people and want to be liked by the group. The student happily spits out the gum to gain approval from the teacher. 4. A high school social studies class studied the pros and cons of recycling. For an assignment, each student wrote a reflection responding to this question: “Do you believe it is one’s ethical responsibility to recycle?” What stage is this teacher encouraging students to think? Stage 6 This stage is characterized by answer large, global ethical questions. We typically do not operate in this type of thinking on a daily basis. You weigh the pros and cons of how recycling would make the world a better place for humanity and the future.

Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Reasoning Identify which of Kohlberg’s Six Stages of Moral Reasoning the scenario depicts. Stage 1: Punishment and Obedience Stage 2: Instrumental Relativist Orientation Stage 3: “Good Boy-Good Girl” Orientation Stage 4: “Law and Order” Orientation Stage 5: Social Contract Orientation Stage 6: Universal Ethical Principal Orientation 5. A fourth grade girl refrains from running in the hallway to avoid the consequences involved in breaking that school's rule. Stage 1 This stage of moral reasoning is focused on avoiding consequences. This student believes that they will probably get caught for running so she decides not to run. If others run they should be punished—no exceptions. However, if she decides to run and does not get caught, then it is okay. 6. A second-grade teacher helped her students understand all aspects of a moral dilemma during a science project in which the class was incubating chicken eggs. The assignment was to open an egg each week to look at the developing chicken at various stages. Later that day, one of her students confided in her that he thought it cruel to open an egg and kill the chick inside. She listened without comment and decided to hold a class meeting discussing the topic. The class discussed many aspects of the assignment, including whether it really was cruel to kill a chick each week and alternatives to the assignment. After discussing all the aspects, students were encouraged to vote as to how to continue with the assignment as a group. Stage 5 This stage is characterized by doing what is best for the whole group. Rules can be flexible and changed if it best benefits the whole group. In this situation, what does the group think about working with chicken eggs? If majority of the group dislikes this assignment, the original rules of the assignment can be changed. We typically operate in stage 5 the most in our adult lives....
