    Jean Piaget Moral Development

    Uploaded by

    Elaine Galleros Rosalita
    Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who studied children's cognitive and moral development. He believed that morality develops through distinct stages that correspond to stages of cognitive development. In early childhood, morality is heteronomous, meaning children see rules as absolute and obey without questioning. As children progress cognitively, their morality becomes autonomous, allowing for cooperation, mutual respect and understanding different perspectives. Piaget's theory suggests moral reasoning becomes increasingly complex as children mature.
