Question 17

In which setting would cognitive moral education be MOST effective in advancing moral thinking?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive moral education emphasizes critical thinking and decision-making skills, which are essential in a democratic setting where individuals must participate in ethical debates and make choices based on democratic principles. In authoritarian or prison settings, individual autonomy is restricted, making it difficult to apply cognitive moral education. In a functional skills unit, the focus may be on practical skills rather than moral thinking, so cognitive moral education may not be as effective. Therefore, a democratic school would provide the best setting for advancing moral thinking through cognitive moral education.
