Question

how are piaget and kohlberg similar in their understanding of the first stages of moral development?
a both piaget and kohlberg believed that young childrens behavior is governed through guided participation and scaffolding.
b both piaget and kohlberg believed that young childrens behavior is governed through modeling in person and in society.
c both piaget and kohlberg believed that young childrens behavior is governed by reinforcement and punishment.
d both piaget and kohlberg believed that young childrens behavior is governed by self - interest, avoiding punishment and gaining rewards.

Explanation:

Piaget and Kohlberg both posited that in the early stages of moral development, young children are motivated by self - interest, aiming to avoid punishment and gain rewards. Guided participation and scaffolding are concepts more related to Vygotsky. Modeling is an important concept in social - learning theory but not the main similarity in their views on early moral development. Reinforcement and punishment are more behaviorist concepts, and while related, self - interest in terms of rewards and punishments is a more encompassing similarity.

Answer:

D. Both Piaget and Kohlberg believed that young children's behavior is governed by self - interest, avoiding punishment and gaining rewards.
