I tend to agree with the way that Domain Theory makes a distinction between moral and social domain. As Nicci states, "Whereas concepts of convention reflect an understanding of the functions of social norms, concepts of morality reflect the student's underlying conceptions of fairness and human welfare." (Nucci, 2009). For example, moral domain focuses on what is just in relation to the "harm and welfare" (Nucci, 2009) of others, social domain focuses on children's "understanding that behaviors are governed by social conventions, an are only (considered) right or wrong if there is a social rule in place." (Nucci, 2009). In addition, social interaction is the way children "evaluate actions in terms of their effects on others, moral domain focuses on the distribution of justice." (Nucci, 2009).
I found that Nicci's in depth look at these two domains via grade enabled me to gain a better understanding of how children perceive conventions and morality during their developmental years. What say you?
Final Exit Ticket
Congratulations! You have completed your course on Affective Education. How quickly the time has passed. Each week there was something new to read, process, analyze and evaluate. Believe it or not, I was learning right along with you. How could I not? Considering that many of you provided such rich professional insight. I am a firm believer that it is always good to look at material, theories, and educational frameworks from different perspectives. For that, I thank you. Nonetheless, every course has its highlights; those moments whereby things simply stand-out and make a lot of sense, which leads to our final exit ticket. Please answer the following questions, what was the “ah ha moment for you”? And as a result, what new knowledge have you constructed through our eight week dialogue on Affective Education that strengthened your confidence about teaching moral education?
Albert Bandura
Bobo Doll Experiment
Video Link to the Bobo Doll Experiment
Review the video depicting Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment, which looks at aggression, observational and imitative learning. Share your opinion on how or why this experiment fits (or does not fit) into a discussion about affective education. Be sure to support your opinion. This counts as exit tickets for weeks 5 & 6. I look forward to reading your posts.

The Stages of Moral Development
It has been noted that the Domain Theory was established in an attempt to "categorize behaviors into either a moral or social domain"(Freday, 2009), however prior classification systems, such as Kohlberg's theory of moral development, placed morality and social convention in the same developmental domain. Domain theory separates the two and goes on to highlight the differences in a child's development of each (Freday, 2009, para. 2). Do you agree or disagree? Post your views.
