Investigating the Correlation Between Moral Reasoning and Cognitive Development in High School Student

Abstract

Most of the researchers in the field of education only look at how well children do in school and don't look at other aspects of their lives, such as how their morals and thinking skills are developing. So, the goal of this study was to investigate the link between moral reasoning and cognitive development in high school pupils. Additionally, to explore the various elements of moral reasoning and cognitive development in high school pupils, and to examine the relationship between the two. A descriptive survey study was used to accomplish the above aims and used a questionnaire. The purpose of this study was to contribute to understanding of overall development of students and implications for teaching by looking at the relationship between moral reasoning and cognitive development. The results may contribute to help teachers and others who implement teacher policy develop a more holistic view of teaching perspectives that contribute to moral development and cognitive development and, in doing so, further enhance student wellness and social success.
