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.

With that noted, click on the You Tube link provided. View the Kohlberg video that explores the stages of moral development and post your views and reations to the video in no less than a 100 words. You may use the book or any other reading from class to support your views. Just be inclined to cite your sources. I look forward to reading your post.

Domain Theory---John

After reading several of the previous posts an Domain Theory I believe there is no absolute answer or viewpoint on the matter. I agree with what Julie and Smitty said regarding the separation of the two (moral and social) domains, but also think that as people mature and are able to grasp more and complex concepts these two blend together to form each individuals value system. Thinking back to our class on Saturday and the specifically the situation with the line Julie waited in at Toys R Us, made me think of these theories in a different way. Sure, much of our "moral code" or system of ethics is learned by observing those around us (parents, teachers, etc.). However, this system can be in constant flux, especially as we continue to observe those around us and how "the norm" changes over time.
