Help the students realize that they are responsible for their actions.
Give the students opportunities to hear different perspectives especially in deciding what is right or wrong. Have discussions, forums, debates, play groups about certain issues. This will be more meaningful and relevant if the issues and roles are related to the students’ lives.
Discuss issues in a multi cultural or global perspective. Learners should be presented with how certain issues are tackled in other cultures. Through this, students can widen their understanding and learn to respect different views and beliefs since moral values are not-universal.
Most elementary and secondary school learners are said to be in the stages 1 and 4 of Kohlberg’s moral development. We actually use this in maintaining classroom control, behavior modification and establishing routines inside the classroom by reinforcing desirable behaviors.
Teachers should act as models and be examples to the students. Teachers must show good examples. So teachers should present values, attitudes and habits worth imitating by others and other on-lookers.
Discipline must be used when a child violates the rules and regulations set by parents, teachers and adults in charge of a child’s life. Discipline is thus the society’s way of teaching a child moral behavior approved by the group. The role of discipline is to mould behavior so that one can conform to the roles prescribed by a cultural group.
Socialization and education are key to learning values and turning them into action and so children’s ability to choose between right and wrong should be brought about through these processes. Classrooms atmosphere should be made democratic; the use of provocative language can be avoided, discussion of moral dilemmas should be avoided. Provision of opportunity for learners to engage in helpful behavior should be encouraged. Teachers should teach social education and ethics, religious studies, moral storytelling to bring out moral lessons.
Learners should be given opportunities to take part in group activities so that they can learn what is right, to act for the common good and to avoid doing wrong. This can be accomplished most successfully by associating pleasant reactions with what are right and unpleasant reactions with what is wrong.
