Pengelolaan Pengembangan Program Kecerdasan Kinestetik Anak Usia Dini Melalui Permainan Outbound

Learning in early childhood education is carried out with the concept of playing while learning. Learning is packaged in such a way that it can provide an atmosphere of active, innovative, creative, effective, fun, happy and meaningful learning. In this case the teacher designs learning with the aim of providing stimulation and helping develop potential as optimally as possible. Because at this age according to experts call it the golden age (golden age). This research is generally aimed at planning, implementing, evaluating the level of success, and supporting inhibiting factors in managing the development of kinesthetic intelligence programs through outbound games at PAUD Fathurrohim Balekambang Nagrak, Sukabumi Regency. The method used in this study is a non-experimental method with a case study approach that aims to obtain an overview of the development of kinesthetic intelligence for early childhood through outbound games with the research location at PAUD Fathurrohim Balekambang Nagrak, Sukabumi Regency. The findings from this study are that the planning of developing a kinesthetic intelligence program through outbound games includes learning objectives, learning materials, learning processes, and learning evaluations that are very different from learning activities in PAUD. In addition, there is a characteristic of learning activities at Fathurrohim Early Childhood which is found in the learning objectives which focus more on the aspects of physical motor development and development of moral behavior and life skills. Implementation of the development of kinesthetic intelligence programs through outbound games in addition to understanding the concept of early childhood also understands learning activities through outbound games.

Seeing for ourselves: Insights into the development of moral behaviour from models of visual perception and misperception.

Parallels from visual processing support Doris's cognitive architecture underlying moral agency. Unconscious visual processes change with conscious reflection. The sparse and partial representations of vision, its illusions, and hallucinations echo biases in moral reasoning and behaviour. Traditionally, unconscious moral processes are developed by teaching and reflection. Modern neuroscience could bypass reflection and directly influence unconscious processes, creating new dangers.

Sport and physical education can play an important role on the development of moral behavior. However, there has been a surge in unethical conducts both in and out of sports fields in recent years. Conducts such as match fixing and incentive payment which fall into the realm of corruption are unacceptable by some fans. For some others, these are deemed as acceptable. Tenacity to win at the expense of anything cripples fair-play principle. This study aims at exploring whether identification of fans with their sports teams has an impact on their attitude to match fixing and incentive payment. The outcomes of the study reveal that fans with high identification are less likely to accept that their teams arrange some match fixing and/or incentive payment and they do not want their teams to be subject to any penalties. Moreover, fans with high moral disengagement are of the opinion that their teams do not get involved in any match fixing and incentive payment. The higher the level of identification gets, the higher moral disengagement becomes. Key words: Fans, moral education, team identification, match fixing, incentive payment.

DEVELOPMENT OF MORAL BEHAVIOUR OF PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN BY ETHNO-MUSIC: PARENTS’ AND TEACHERS’ APPROACH

The article analyzes a currently topical problem – moral education of children. Scientists and educationalists, having explored the issues of children’s moral education, acknowledge that the development of a person open to moral values as well as his/her moral consciousness, and the formation of moral behaviour necessitate both rational and intuitive fundamentals of a personality invoked by ethno-music. Theoretical analysis discloses the relevance and impact of ethno-music on the moral education of pre-school children. Children’s moral education is based on children’s experience and closely related to their personal problems and the ones of the surrounding environment, which ensures the formation of a moral personality. It is maintained that special attention should be paid to the development of emotions and feelings, which is significant in education children’s moral behaviour. KEY WORDS: pre-school children, development of moral behaviour, values of ethno-music, parents, teachers.

Human Resource Management and Kohlberg’s Scale of Moral Development

Human Resource Management is in a contentious relationship with moral philosophy. To understand this relationship, one can approach it from the standpoint of Human Resource Management (HRM) or philosophy. This article presents the latter. One of the most important 20th century discussions on the development of moral behaviour came from Laurence Kohlberg. His model of universal moral stages provides a framework inside which virtually all forms of morality take place. These stages are used to characterise the morality of HRM. In order to avoid portraying them as moral philosophy the paper assesses HRM’s morality by using these seven stages as an ordering framework. To achieve this, a normative and a supportive empirical study have been conducted: the normative study found that HRM appears to be located at stages two and four; this is supported by empirical data because most respondents (76%, n=204) saw HRM’s morality as a reflection of these three stages. These stages represent: seeking personal benefits, corporate conformity, and supporting corporate policies.

The Relationship Between Preschool Teachers' Professional Ethical Behavior Perceptions, Moral Judgment Levels and Attitudes to Teaching

Morality is the stance and attitude that makes a social human being; the display of behaviors such as praise, criticism, tolerance and intolerance, confirmation and rejection; the taking of sides by stating what one finds good or bad, right or wrong, instead of staying indifferent to what other people say and do (Pieper, 1999). Moral development needs to be taught at schools from the personality-shaping years of preschool so as to raise individuals with a strong sense of morality. Teachers are as important as families in children's moral development. Although parents may play a crucial role in child development within the family environment, once children start school, teachers take the primary importance in children's lives. As pointed out by Dewey (1995), telling preschool children to behave morally has very little contribution towards the development of moral behavior. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that teachers involved in morality education act as models for children by displaying ethical and moral behavior. As a discipline, morality is the collection of ethical codes reflected in practical everyday life; they constitute the value system guiding a society's behaviors, attitudes and beliefs. In their studies, Oser (1991) and Terhart (1998) state that teachers' professional quality depend on the development of cognitive, moral and practical domains, and that these three together define teacher competencies. Therefore, it is not enough for teacher education programs to improve teachers in only one domain; moral judgment levels and teaching attitudes play a determining role in the identification of teacher ethical behaviors. Starting from this, the present study investigates the relationship between preschool teachers' professional ethical behavior perceptions, moral judgment levels and teaching attitudes. The sample includes 464 randomly selected preschool teachers working in 10 different regions of Istanbul. Three different measurement tools were used: Preschool Teacher Ethical Behaviors Scale, Moral Judgment Test, and Teaching Attitudes Scale. The results seem to imply that a linear relationship exists between the variable of ‘preschool teachers’ ethical behavior perceptions’ and the variables of ‘moral judgment level’, ‘democratic attitude’, ‘autocratic attitude’ and ‘apathetic attitude’. Put differently, preschool teachers' perceptions about ethical behaviors are predicted by moral judgment level, democratic attitude, autocratic attitude and apathetic attitude.

Moral behavior and the development of verbal regulation

The present paper examines the relationship between the development of moral behavior and the development of verbal regulatory processes. Relational frame theory and the distinctions among pliance, tracking, and augmenting forms of rule governance are applied to the domain of moral behavior and its development, in order to identify the specific social and verbal contingencies that are responsible for an evolving moral repertoire. It is argued that moral behavior is controlled by relational and rule-following repertoires, and that these can be arranged into a rough progression: pliance, tracking, augmenting, social concern for pliance, social concern for tracking, and social concern for augmenting. Congruence with data derived from other research traditions is examined, and applied implications are explored.

The Moral Development of Mentally Retarded Children: Review of the Literature

Abstract This paper reviews the literature on the moral judgement and development of moral behaviour of mentally retarded individuals. The relative contribution of mental age, chronological age, cognitive functioning, social experience and environmental factors to the moral characteristics of this population is discussed. Relevant studies are described in the light of both the perspectives of cognitive development and of social learning.

Control, Autonomy, and the Development of Moral Behavior: A Social-Cognitive Perspective

Studies on the relationship between moral reasoning and moral behavior have yielded weak to modest correlations which vary in strength according to the behavior examined. This article describes a social-cognitive perspective which is geared toward more comprehensive behavioral predictions, particularly in cases of honesty and conformity where reasoning-behavior relationships have been identified to be particularly unimpressive. This perspective which is consistent with the symbolic interactionist approach of James Mark Baldwin focuses on children's self-definitions as related to perceptions of significant others. Aspects in which this form of social cognition is related to maladjusted behavior are explored as is selected recent research bearing on the development of autonomy and control in children.

Development of Moral Behavior in Preschoolers in a Psychological-Pedagogical Experiment

By a moral act we mean an unselfish act carried out in the total absence of external control. In a number of previous studies (Subbotskii, 1978, 1979a, b) we have found that one of the methods that help to enhance a child's proclivity toward moral acts is to place the child in the position of a champion and defender of moral norms. The development of moral behavior of children in these studies was, however, of a short-term nature and pursued strictly experimental aims. What place the methods we developed could have in systematic educative work with children remained unclear. The organization of a comprehensive and sufficiently prolonged development of moral behavior in children in a situation of a normal kindergarten group was the task of the present study. We assumed that this development would result in a substantial increase in the number of children observing moral norms of behavior.

The Development of Moral Behavior: Continuities and Discontinuities

A conceptual framework and supporting research findings are presented which are intended to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between moral judgment and moral action. A transactional model, based in part upon the earlier work of Piaget, is outlined. Within this framework, the outcome of moral deliberation is viewed as the joint product of an individual's current level of cognitive complexity and the structural complexity of the moral dilemma which he or she must arbitrate. In this context cognitive development level is assumed to predict concrete behavioral choices whenever individuals are at least as complex as are the moral alternatives which confront them. In order to test this hypothesis, children at three levels of conceptual maturity were presented with six dilemmas, representing all pairwise combinations of rituals, rules and principles, and were required to formulate specific plans of action to resolve these conflicts. The results are consistent with the hypothesis and show a significant interaction between the structural complexity of moral dilemmas and cognitive complexity of persons who attempt to resolve them.
