Developing Students' Moral and Ethical Thinking through Scenarios Reasoning
Clark, Christopher H.; van Kessel, Cathryn
Social Education, v86 n4 p272-277 Sep 2022
How might social educators encourage civic reasoning and genuine dialogue across different perspectives? Disagreements about policy and appropriate action are part and parcel of democratic societies, and yet identifying and working through the roots of those disagreements are tricky skills for students (or anyone, for that matter). In this piece, the authors offer a rationale for including moral and ethical questions paired with a lesson example that prompts students to connect moral questions to real-world issues of civic life. The activity examples included in this lesson addresses topics that would be appropriate for students in grades 9-12.
