Editorial Reviews

Review

"...a thought-provoking, evidence-rich discussion of moral cognition and its implications for moral education." Mind, Culture, and Activity

"Nucci's work contributes positively to research on the theory and practice of human moral development." Choice


Product Description

This two-part book presents theory and research demonstrating that morality forms a domain of social values that is distinct from matters of societal convention. It presents practical suggestions for teachers on how to establish a moral classroom climate, deal with student discipline, integrate moral and social values education into the curriculum, and contribute to students' development of the moral self. The author tackles controversial issues--such as the relation between morality and religious rules, and the nature of cultural variation in moral value--with research and theory, rather than ideology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moral Education: Lessons for Teachers and Parents, June 5, 2001
By A Customer
Nucci's book on education in the moral domain presents a fresh perspective on this topic which is of special interest to teachers and parents. This book helps you understand how morality gets interwoven with other social values. It makes it clear that you just can't create good children through simplistic approaches to character education. The author's discussions are based on a vast amount of research on this topic. Each chapter is more compelling than the next. The one on morality and religious values presents differences between these two concepts, and discusses ways to conduct moral education without undermining religious faith or promoting a particular set of beliefs. The chapter on morality and culture explains how morality is universal despite vast cultural differences. I especially liked the chapter on privacy and personal choice, which clarifies the relationship between morality and the development of a healthy self-esteem. Throughout this book, applications for teachers and parents are clear, and there are enough examples to give teachers a real sense of what to do in their classrooms. This book is a must read for anyone who cares about children's moral development!

5.0 out of 5 stars The educational must read for teachers and parents alike., July 13, 2001
By Suzanne (Laguna Beach, Ca) - See all my reviews
An intelligently written book based on years of research, this is a must read for teachers and parents who want to understand how to foster an environment which will encourage children to develop as thoughtful, caring, reflective human beings. Quickly dispelling the myth that teaching morality is about religious ideals or at odds with the public school system, Nucci sets out to clearly explain how children develop their senses of morality and convention, and then further explains methods by which teachers (and parents) can begin to take advantage of this knowledge. Never preachy or exagerated, this thoughtful work sets out clear examples of classroom application based on research rather than opinion or popular concepts. In short, it will leave you wishing that you had been taught by someone who had read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The psychology of moral development..., May 11, 2004
By Stephen Armstrong (Hadley, Ma USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wish I had known about this book a year ago. It would have simplified my search to identify a non-ideological, non-simplistic writer on moral development in children. (From Nucci's references, I have now found others). This is an elegant, thoughtful book.

I thought the book was strong throughout, but the parts that stood out were: (1) the clear conceptualization of moral development (e.g., fairness) , as contrasted to the development of conventions (e.g., why we brush our teeth), in children; (2) the clear statement about how culture and information modify moral standards; (3) the role of emotion in morality; and (4) the cognitive development of morality in children. The literature review was fabulous.

I was a bit surprised that Carol Gilligan's "ethic of caring" morality was not mentioned more prominently, since Nucci writes so clearly about the development of fairness and justice.

This is a superb book, written on a high intellectual level. Other writers I have found compelling have been William Damon, Carolyn Saarni, and Elliot Turiel. (Turiel wrote the foreword to this book.)
