Changes In Moral Reasoning Through The High School Years

By Mary Amadeus Dowd

Book Overview

Changes in Moral Reasoning Through the High School Years is a book written by Mary Amadeus Dowd that explores the development of moral reasoning in adolescents throughout their high school years. The book is based on a longitudinal study that followed a group of high school students over a period of four years, from their freshman to senior year. Dowd examines the changes in moral reasoning that occur during this period of development, focusing on the different stages of moral reasoning proposed by Lawrence Kohlberg. She also explores the influence of various factors, such as gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, on the development of moral reasoning. The book provides a detailed analysis of the data collected during the study, including interviews with the students and their parents, as well as observations of their behavior in various situations. Dowd also discusses the implications of her findings for educators and parents, and provides recommendations for how they can support the moral development of adolescents during this critical period. Overall, Changes in Moral Reasoning Through the High School Years is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the moral development of adolescents and how it can be supported and nurtured.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
