    Book description

    This book brings together the results of 25 years of research on the domain theory of social cognitive development. On the basis of that research - which shows that morality is a domain distinct from other social values - the author provides concrete suggestions for creating a moral classroom climate, dealing with student discipline, and integrating moral values within the curriculum. Among questions addressed are: Is morality a set of rules we acquire like any other? Are there universal aspects to morality, or is it culture specific? Is there such a thing as moral character? How best can teachers make use of our knowledge about children's moral and social growth in their everyday classroom practices? Integrated answers to these questions result in a comprehensive approach that does not reduce moral education to a process of induction or inculcation, but rather harnesses children's intrinsic motivation to comprehend and master their social worlds.

    Reviews

    ‘Nucci’s work contributes positively to research on the theory and practice of human, moral development.’

    Source: Choice

    '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.'
