Aspects and Teacher Interventions in Our Model, With Examples

Aspect	Teacher Interventions	Examples
1. Encouraging students to be morally reasonable	Questioning students about their moral opinions and behaviors Asking students “why” questions	“What would you do if you were to walk past and see this scene?” “How do you feel about bullying?” “Why would you help this girl?” “Why do you think that bullying is wrong?”
2. Encouraging students to be emotionally involved	Asking students to empathize with the persons involved Asking students to relate the given situation to a personal life experience	“How would you feel if you were that girl, being bullied by those two boys?” “What do you think she would like you to do?” “Have you ever experienced something similar?” “You say you were also bullied by two big boys. How did you feel at the time?”
3. Guiding students toward virtue	Nonmotivated moral statements Motivated moral statements (preferable)	“That is very nice of you!” (praise without motivation) “How can you help this girl?” (normative question) “Helping this girl is a courageous act because it shows that you care about the feelings of others and about making them happy rather than sad.” “This girl is not so different from you. Like you, she wants to be free and feels unhappy about being bullied. To realize this is to respect the girl’s feelings.”
