I agree with most of what has been stated about this video by others in the class. I was actually impressed by, what I percieved as a pretty developed sense of morality even in the two young boys that were interviewed. While they were led in the questioning a little I found it interesting that neither really waffled in their responses.
The only interviewee that seemed unsure of her answers or felt the need torationalize was the woman with the shorter light brown hair. She used phrases like, "I suppose, if all other options had been exhausted," etc etc. Nobody else really saw the scenario as having a lot of "Gray area." I don't know that this necessarily means that she had less of a stict moral code or anything, but I found it interesting.
Also, as a few have previously stated, there were several facotrs that made this a less-than perfect interview process. The leading questions and interjections by the interview could have definitely affected the way the younger interviewees answered. Also, the clear presence of a non-participant in the room shold answer any questions about the "scientific validity" of these interviews. I would even guess that the younger boy watched the 7th graders interview since it sounded like it could have been him laughing at the beginning and it looks like they are sitting in the same kitchen (the interviewers own kids maybe???).
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.

John, according to my research, Gilligan would argue that women have an ongoing moral obligation to interpersonal relationships. She critiqued Kohlberg's theory because women were always viewed and ranked as not moving past the third stage, because they still had compassion for people, and that is constant throughout their moral development.
