Description
Moral Classrooms, Moral Children explores how sociomoral practices can benefit young learners in the classroom. Recent research is drawn upon to demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches with children aged 28.
The authors advocate for a cooperative approach that contrasts with traditional methods of control and coercion, instead focusing on fostering intellectual, social, moral, emotional, and personality development. Practical chapters provide examples of how this constructivist approach can be embedded in a school program through specific classroom situations and activities.
