Question : 1 of 150
Marks: +1, -0
Students, to behave in accordance the morals and ideals of teachers, teachers’ behaviour should be in this level of Kohlberg’s Moral Development theory.
Solution:  
Concept:
Kohlberg's theory of moral development describes stages of reasoning about morality.
Explanation:
Lawrence Kohlberg proposed a theory of moral development with three levels: Pre-conventional, Conventional, and Post-conventional.
The Post-conventional level is characterized by abstract reasoning and the understanding of universal ethical principles. Individuals at this level act based on their conscience and a sense of justice, even if it means questioning laws or societal norms. Teachers, who are expected to uphold high moral standards and guide students, would ideally operate at this level, focusing on principles of fairness, human rights, and the greater good.
The other levels are:
Pre-conventional: Focuses on external consequences like punishment and reward.
Conventional: Focuses on conforming to societal rules and expectations to maintain social order and approval.
Since teachers are expected to model ethical behavior and have a deep understanding of moral principles that go beyond mere rule-following, their behavior aligns with the Post-conventional level.
Answer:
C. Post conventional
