Moral Philosophy For Children And Character Education, Michael Pritchard Dec 1999

Moral Philosophy For Children And Character Education, Michael Pritchard

Michael Pritchard

This paper discusses the growing prominence of character education and the role moral philosophy can play here. It examines the place of inquiry in character education, and the ways in which moral philosophy can help young people to develop the virtue of reasonableness. Reasonableness, as herein described, takes into account the views and feelings of others, the willingness to allow one’s views to be scrutinized by others, and the acceptance of some degree of uncertainty about whether one’s views are necessarily right. The paper illustrates ways in which philosophical exploration about morality can help children to cultivate reasonableness.

Ethics In The Science Classroom, Theodore Goldfarb, Michael Pritchard

Michael Pritchard

The instructional material and lessons included in this volume had their origins in a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded program in which one of the present authors was the director, Theodore Goldfarb and the other the project consultant Michael Pritchard. That program, for Long Island, New York secondary school science teachers, included two-week summer institutes in 1994, '95 and '96 and school year follow-up sessions. The program was designed to encourage teachers to include ethics and values content in their classroom science lessons.

The Land Of Curiosity, Michael Pritchard Sep 1987

The Land Of Curiosity, Michael Pritchard

Michael Pritchard

Introduction: THE LAND OF CURIOSITY has evolved over the past several years as a result of discussions I have had with groups of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. It all began many years ago in my daughter's 4th grade class. I wanted the group with whom I met once a week to think about rules. So I wrote a little episode about The Basic Rule. The responses to this episode were used as a basis for another episode, this one dealing with The Golden Rule. Responses to that episode led to yet another one on rules.
